I kinda like the style 166. Not sure how well they'll fit as daily driver.

I like CH-Rs too but you can only get them in 19", I'd rather stick with 18s.

Why no 19's? I'm thinking about going to 20's. A little nervous. I love the 19's. Once I got them, I hated the 18's. Looked out of place IMO

Those are nice. I think they would be a bitch to clean though. Why I am getting rid of the 19" OEM ones on my car. I like them but hard to clean. Plus, I think they look better on the E90 vs the E92

+1. Ran hankooks as well. I honestly can't tell a huge difference in tires but I don't pay much attention. WSTO can def hook you up though

Cheaper tires and less weight. Plus 19s on the 335i make the stock brakes look a little small.

Was going to keep it a secret but probably getting these. Any thoughts? 20's do make me a tad nervous though but worth the risk I think. Bought that damn tire/wheel insurance so I should be good...I hope!

They are def big. 19's probably the best option. I'd go 19's if I were you but I like bigger rims. I think rims make a break a car. Just my .02

A little tough but not as hard as the OEM ones. All those "spokes" on the OEMs make it hard as hell. These have gaps in between which make it easier
