Hey guys. The potholes of the great state of New Jersey have given me the opportunity (read: need) to purchase a new set of wheels for my car. I have 18x8.5 Beyern Mesh wheels on it right now, and I'm looking to either get the M6 wheels on it, or maybe the Miro 111. I will likely purchase 18 inch wheels. These roads are to crappy too get anything bigger. Maybe once I move back to PA. Anyway, I will not getting the 18" mesh again because the wheel looks small on the car. Looking for the right wheel, preferably concave. Any advice, thoughts, questions, comments and concerns are welcome and appreciated. I need to make a decision ASAP so please put your BMW thinking caps on and do what you do best. Thanks

I have Miro 111's on mine, I really like them. Crappy pic, but I'll see if I can post a better one tommorow, just lowered it.
Get 19's, different between 18 or 19's wont be that different on ride quality

to the OP Miro's are nice but are poorly made, they bend very easily. Just some food for thought

I feel your pain. I am getting them fixed today so that I can sell them. I will definitely let the buyer know.
