Are you going for the oem 313 alloy wheels?? They look great on the e92 models

A lot of people go for non RFT's, apparently makes the ride and handling much better, not to mention much cheaper tyres also. I'm going to switch to non RFT's when my current tyres wear out, but I've got to check my AUC warranty won't be affected in doing this

I was looking at non bmw brand black csl wheels as they look good with a sliver car.

I went after market as both my 19" rear BMW wheels were bent/cracked after 25000 miles.

The 313M's look superb on an E92. I had no issues with mine in 3 years - I think the 225M's were the ones before that were a disgrace !

I have a 320d M Sport with the M suspension delete option. Currently riding on 18" S02s and quite a soft ride without too much roll. Having previously owned earlier versions of the 3 I can testify to the improvement in general feeling when moving over to non RFTs (in my case several sets of Falkens as they wear out quite quickly at the back and half the rate for the fronts).

Looking at a friend's 320d M fitted with 19" 313s I can only wonder what the ride is like - there's hardly any sidewall!

I hope the roads are smooth where you live!!
