I enjoy OEM and OEM+ type builds, so I'll say the factory wheels. A nice polish on them would make them pop again, but it's entirely what you prefer being your car!
I needed to make them facing the same direction. Think something is wrong with my brain. [https://i.imgur.com/LJ2ZE7K.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/LJ2ZE7K.jpg)
I also prefer the Kosei. I like the 68 style, but they're also everywhere. Kosei also lets us see more of those shiny rotors.
I even recently repainted my calipers and made the M logo on them color cordnated you can see on my page. So long story short I agree koseis show off them brakes more
I am running 10 mm spacer in the front, required because the wheel hits the strut on my BC coilovers. In the rear I have no spacer plenty of clearance and I’m tucked in the rear. The Koseis are +40 offset 8.5” with 225 tire for rear and 205 for the front 35 profile. Tried to give you some extra info as well
Edit: if you are not tucking tire you could easily go more like 15-20mm for front and about the same for the rear to get it flush with the fender. If you’re slammed stick to what I have
Check out my Reddit page so you can judge my ride height to your height. Now for my experience the fronts cant go any wider than 205-215 because on bumps you will hit the fender. You can go 45 profile all around if you want a better ride quality. Now for the rear the 225s are not very grippy. I constantly would loose traction on wet surfaces during cornering and acceleration. On a dry surface cornering feel good with the 225s but giving it some gas they did tend to slip easier than wider tires, but with all that being said daily driving the 225s feel fine getting on and off the highway. When it comes to driving it hard and fast they’re too small.
Rolled fenders is also a must. If you cut the inner fender lip it may give you enough room for a 235 or 245 but that’s a tight squeeze 😂 good luck and hope this wasn’t too much info
It’s not a problem at all thats what we are all here for passing some knowledge. Also I’d recommend rolling the fenders then going for a test fit and if they don’t fit then give the inner lip a cut. I think you can get the size you won’t to fit with just a good roll. I look forward to seeing a comment in the future letting me how it went !
Kosei k1s
the kosei’s look gangster. stick with those
You need to conform and get APEX wheels instead. JK the Kosei look great!

Honestly I like the 68s, but you can do better than both
Like what
im a fan of the kosei’s personally
Koseis cause I have them too
K1
K1 gang
Kosei but i really like those oem wheels too. It would all depend on what im willing to spend
Koseis are very cheap $180 a wheel last I checked. The OEM I bought used and refurbished and repainted them for only $150
So far it’s unanimous for the K1’s. I agree with everyone.
K1. Easy choice.
Kosei and not even close

Bottom looks sexy top for something more casual
They’re both awesome, but I gotta go with the bottom one
Kosei’s
Bottom all day
k1 100%. when i buy an m3 prolly gonna be my wheel choice
Tough call. Maybe the E46s, just for a more substantial look. The K1s are cool, but the spokes are so tiny. How about the Style 5??heh
68d
I prefer windows down

What kind of spacer are you running front and back for the koseis?
I am running 10 mm spacer in the front, required because the wheel hits the strut on my BC coilovers. In the rear I have no spacer plenty of clearance and I’m tucked in the rear. The Koseis are +40 offset 8.5” with 225 tire for rear and 205 for the front 35 profile.

That helps a ton I was going to get the koseis and I got bc coils too. Might just steal your exact setup. Does the 225 still feel wide/ grippy enough?

Dude again I hella appreciate it. Looks like I got some fender work to do. I’m a try to get 235 in there. I’ll keep using your build as a basis

Just got to install the new radiator and cooling refresh and then next is wheels/ fenders. Ty for the help 👍
