Style 128 or 239 Rims
 
Guys n Girls

I have the Style 128's on order to go on a black e70 m sport.
While I love them I also like the look of the 239 rims and if I was to change id have to do it now but I live them both!. So here is a quick poll to ask who prefers what.

A good example of each of the 128's

i have the 128s. like them a lot. get lots of complimens about them.

CGSTL 11-12-2007 06:42 PM

Both are nice looking rims. The 128's fit my personality a little better...

LeMansX5 11-12-2007 08:35 PM

128s are much easier to clean and maintain. ;)

mrkbbd 11-12-2007 08:43 PM

239s are sort of Merc SLRish, the 21" 128s look more BMW in my opinion

X5audi 11-13-2007 12:26 AM

I prefer the 239s... super-elegant. The 128s, while nice, are nondescript. But maybe the 239s just look better on the Space Gray model shown.

dwarfer 11-13-2007 04:49 AM

Thanks for your responses guys.

I think im going to stick with the 128's. The 239's look like a larger version of the MV spoke 20" wheels that come with the M Sport so at least it will look slightly different. Whenever I get a new car I always start off well with cleaning it but over time I think ill get fed up of trying to clean the 239's so thats a big factor for me also.

I can't wait

I think the 128s will look good on black? :)

jamesboags 11-13-2007 06:10 AM

239's for sure ! Love those turbines..!

dr.jay 11-13-2007 06:29 AM

128's all the way

Abaddon 11-13-2007 06:39 AM

239, i'll get those with my car...:thumbup:

marwan 11-13-2007 07:30 AM

style 128 is recyled from the 5 and 7 series.

i chose style 239. they dont look good in that picture since the M package on the X5 looks crap, the standard sport package looks much nicer.

Fredo 11-13-2007 09:13 AM

Yes the 128 looks a little dated to me. 239 suits the car better IMHO.

dwarfer 11-13-2007 09:50 AM

Man this is a nightmare now im leaning back to the 239's
Dam you BMW!

scoobydoo 11-13-2007 10:17 AM

Very tough choice. 128 looks bigger, 239 more elegant

jimsaq 11-13-2007 10:19 AM

239's get my vote
am having a tough time choosing between them and 215

chris24 11-13-2007 12:03 PM

128's. I like them better but also think they'd go better with the black than the 239's.

chris24 11-13-2007 12:04 PM

I originally passed on the 128's because I like the 214's better in terms of design (though I wish they were 21" instead of 20"), but I passed someone with a black E70 with the 128's a few days ago and looked pretty damn good. I may switch mine out.

Bushman2 11-13-2007 12:04 PM

I like the 128's. The 239's look like the Lexus Is250 Rims, (Does you ride no justice).

Beefy 11-13-2007 04:43 PM

I have taken the 239 saw them on an M pack and decided to go for them and the M pack. Actually the M pack looks superb and photos I have seen do not do it justice. Go for the 239 with M pack, they are I think specific for the M only.

dbinc 11-13-2007 05:07 PM

128's on the left hand side of the vehicle and 239's on the right side or vice versa. You get best of both worlds.

the standard sport package with the balck molding looks much better, the painted ones on the M package look cheap! even the front and rear bumpers look better on the sport package!

Marwan, your car is a real beauty, looks stunning.
Have you lowered your's or changed some settings.
Looks like you have less wheel gap.:thumbup:

Beefy, are you confusing the 20" M V Spoke wheels which are one available with the M Sports, they look very similar to the 21" 239's. The 239's are an upgrade available for any model.

I have made a final choice and its the 128's. They look realy nice with black and look bigger than the 239's. Also as the 239's look similar to the 20" M V Spoke wheels which I think a lot of people here in the UK will spec on the M Sport model, I wanted something different.

Thanks all for your comments its really helped.

239's because the 128's are really overdone .. have been around for a long time
