Very good looking wheel, but not a 19" fan....
Such a pity with all the best looking, more modern styles all beng 19"...đŸ˜

Thanks!
Personally, I'm not a big fan of the style 189's đŸ˜¬ I would prefer the style 230 over them.

I'm having a little trouble deciding on which wheels to go for, on my E90.
It has been mentioned, and I know most of you are OEM wheel fans, I am as well for the most part, but sometimes there isn't an oem solution to fit what you need, so keep that in mind.
I want something performance oriented, improve the cars dynamics, able to fit a meaty tire, and also have a good (more aggressive than OEM) fitment, without the need for spacers.
With that being mentioned, most 19's are out of the question, and many of the OEM wheels don't look exciting enough for me. I love the style 225 and 313 wheels, but both are very prone to cracking and not ideal for commuting and our roads, and I don't want to be driving around cautiously everywhere.
There is however one 19" I am interested in though.
Fitting my mentioned requirements,
My choice is between the:
A-Line Chase/Koya SF15 18x9 ET35, as a square setup, running 255/35 R18 Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tires.
or
OEM BMW Style 437M (F8x M3/4 wheels) 19x9 ET29 F 19x10 ET40 R, Staggered, running 245/35 R19 F 275/30 R19 R Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires.
(I would love OEM 513M wheels in the same specs as above, but 18", they are just too rare and expensive though)
The Koya wheels are semi-forged, light, offer a square setup which is great for driving, tire life with rotation, neutral handling characteristics as well as a somewhat decent sidewall profile for our roads. Also a good looking, and safe fitment.
The OEM 437M's offer a forged wheel at an affordable price, light for 19's, great fitment, nice wide tires at the rear for a tuned diesel. Their sidewall profile is a bit less than ideal for what I want though. Even the 255 35 18 is a little skimpy for me.
19" tires are also quite a bit more expensive.
They are close in price, but the 437M's will end up a bit more expensive.
I do want to install F30 4 pot Brembo's and 370mm disks in the near future, which will definitely fit the 19's, but potentially foul on the 18's, though the Koya's do have a fair bit of space for an 18.
I could always fit the 340mm disks, but I think the 370's would be a nice upgrade.
I'm pretty sure I know what I want to go with, but for the sake of curiosity, what would you choose???

I really like those koyas and the colour contrast against the paintwork of your car i think will look fantastic. Having said that though, personally
I'm an OEM+ guy and there's something sexy about a narrow/wide setup on a bmw. My vote is for the 437m
Either way, you can't go wrong though.

Between those two, I would go for the Koya's - they look good against the car and I think 18s will be more fit for purpose.
IMO, the 437M wheels are not period correct for the E90.

Definitely a good looking wheel, no doubt. They just won't have a nice fitment without getting 4 wides, and then needing spacers which I would like to avoid.
They're also probably one of the most common sport pack/optional wheels for the E90.
