AR913 Rims

[e70jane]

Looking to replace the scrapped up factory 19's on the truck but unwilling to spend an arm, so what do you guys think of these rims? Black or Silver?
I think they look ok for the SUV. Initially, I wanted the Ar924's but too low on the load rating.

Fellow Coloradan, dark colored wheels are the new trend now and looks good in almost any body color. Any other choices though as far as style?

These are the only ones appealing to my eyes. I’m going with 20x10 all around 40 offset. I’m leaning to the black wheels too.

. $200 a rim...less than the tire.

I simply cannot believe the quality is all the same.

They aren't that great. But with enough sidewall (factory should be enough) I don't think there would be a problem unless tracking the vehicle.


Color is subjective, but I highly prefer the gunmetal/machined ones. Black wheels look like dirty wheels to me on any car, from $3000 cars to $3,000,000 cars. Just an opinion though. Get what you like obviously.

And to me, gunmetal/machined wheels look dirty, but black doesn't

I prefer machined and silver painted wheels myself. Also agree that OEM wheels typically are some of the best options. We are rocking the OEM 20" style 597 on the e70. There are a few rare exceptions (gold on white cars for example). These Forgestars on my e53 are the darkest wheel I could ever get. They are a brushed charcoal.





These are the style 597's.

The color of the wheels or how the wheels sticks out and lined up to the fenders? It may have spacers installed. I have 25mm rear and 20mm in the front.

I'll chime in on this one. To me it depends on the color of the car. Indeed the trend is to go gunmetal or black now a days on everything, however in my opinion they always look dirty and you can make out the design. Silver pops way more when its clean. i have a Vermilion Red 2011 and if i do upgrade from the stock 19s, i will do silver 20s or machined silver. +1 for silver/hyper silver.
