Which rim looks better?

[VANCE]

71..NO QUESTION ABOUT IT

I think the 135 is the more gorgeous of the two (looks a lot like the M wheel, is it the M wheel?), but the composite 71 is no slacker either. Personally I didn't order the 71 because in the 330Ci you sacrifice the full size spare and 5th rim if you go to the 71 from the non-SP or 68M in the SP.

Cleaning any BMW wheel is no fun, but the 135 with its thin slots looks like the clean (haha) winner for difficulty cleaning.

The 135 sucks to clean.


I am not sure myself, i think it would depend on the car and tire size.

if u really like that kind of the 71, id suggest selling the 135, and then buying some breyton inspiration, or ACS style 3 if u dont want a lip. im sorry i just hate how that style 71 pinches at the ends of teh double spokes.

i'm a 135 fan, not gonna lie. i think they look awesome.

135 looks bigger. the 71 is more aggressive. if you can get the 71 in 20" for example they would be amazing.
the 135 is more classy though...depends on the rest of the car and on your taste!!!

Not intending to insult anyone, but 71 is the type of rim that riced-out BMW´s have on this side of the ocean (Holland). The type of rim that make people say to me: 'yeah, your car (my 330) looks really nice but too bad the brand BMW attracts so many ricers, I would rather have an Audi or Mercedes.'

Needless to say I vote 135

+1 for the 135. The look more natural for the 330i.

I love that 135...I have since I first saw it. i just don't how awful it would be to clean!!

This Hamann rim looks the best on any 3 series IMO

 

[Chesty Bonds]

Yeah the Hamann piece is quite nice.

Both are nice wheels however, whichever you choose remember the rears are an 8.5 inch width and the fronts are 8 inch. I kept my OE ZHP wheels and they are not as bad to clean as it looks especially if your hands are not large. Many times I have also used a power washer on them with success. A foam paint brush also works for tight spaces. I remove the wheels and use wheel wax on them about every 3 months and they still look like new.

Either you all are on crack, or you are from the hood.

135 is nicer looking and more classy!

Let's just say I'd trade my 45's for either one
