My 335i on Marcato MMR 3-piece 19's

Sup guys I just put the new wheels on my car.They are the Marcato MMR Forged 3-piece setup.They sizes are:

FRONT 19x9" - 235/35/19
REAR 19x10" - 275/30/19

Here are the pics...















This is my second 335 so all the mods are going on before everyone says I need a drop and such trust me I know all that but thought I'd share the sneak peak the car is about 5 days old.

I don't know if it is the 'chromish' shine (I know they are not chrome) or the fact that I am not used to the wide-V, skinny-V thing makes it so the ends don't line up straight like on BBS wheels. To me, it almost looks like 10 pairs of tweezers or tongs connected to the wheel the way they have it set up. I guess I prefer the symmetrical style of the CLS wheels, BBS, etc.

The eventual drop will help the look as well.

Very nice car though! A buddy of mine just bought one brand new about 3 weeks ago....he loves the car!

Enjoy...

I actually like these rims, their different but different in a good way. And I think the rims will stand out way more once the car is dropped because right they look small.

That's it exactly. I couldn't figure out exactly why it looked off to me. That explains it. I have mesh style wheels on my car, but they are symmetrical like the other brands you mentioned. With these wheels it's the constant change in spoke size that adds that visual effect.

The finish is a little strange too. You've got too many things going on. Chrome lips, what a appears to be a brushed or polished face, and then black on the spokes interior.

To each his own, but I think those wheels would a million times better if you left the lips chrome and powdered coated the spokes and face one color. Either black or silver. Personal preference for me would be black.

Curious...why did you get rid of your original 335 to get another one so quickly after?

...and yes, they do look similar to Maya STMs

those do not look money at all. They actually look like wheels you can buy on eBay

I haven't had my First 335 since February and I thought I was done with it but then I changed my mind and wanted it back.
