1 Series Coupe Rims

[VanillaRush]

Hi guys,

I am itching to change the rims on my 125i coupe.
Problem is, 1Addicts etc all talk about rims that I have never heard of, and availability here is probably not going to happen.

So...

I was wondering who has changed their rims for customs, what size, what brand etc. (I dont even know what rims would work)
Share your photos etc, and please try and help me decide.
What is available for our 1'ers and what looks the best?

Thanks guys.

What I did with mine was resprayed them, anodized. Just like the E90 M3's.

Look on this thread at the pics of my rims, http://www.bmwfanatics.co.za/showthread.php?tid=7260, scroll down till you see pics of my white 130i

Hey man,

for some reason I could not see the pics of your anodized rims. How much did it cost you?

Thats weird. Could you see other pics in that topic. It cost R1600. Heres 2 pics:

Carbon,

How long did the re-spray take? Who did you use to do this for you?

Thanks for the advice!!

It took 2 days. They gave me loan wheels to use.

I see you from JHB. I'm in CT. I took them to a mag repair place, "The MAG Workshop".

@ri had his rims on his 120i cab powdercoated black, looks sweet.. At a place in Edenvale, took 2 days I think..

What about trying to source Rims from a different BMW model? OR perhaps a different design rim from the 1-series range?

Or you looking to go completely aftermarket.

Great idea. I am just worried that the cost of original BMW is going to be a lot scarier than going aftermarket.

The original rims are ridiculously expensive. If you want original, rather buy 2nd hand
