19's on my 335i xDrive Coupe?

brian.kim.t · 08-09-2013, 02:49 PM

Hello,

I'm debating whether I should get 19in wheels on my 335i xDrive. I read a lot of Pros and Cons about the 19in wheels, but personally I think they look much better than the 18's.

Are there any caveats that I need to make sure before proceeding? I hear xDrives and regular RWD should be handled differently when it comes to buying rims.

Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

Audi guys do it all the time and they often come with 19s. The new 335xi also has AWD and 19s. I see nothing to worry about.

18"s tops IMO. 19" is just too big & heavy. I don't like it.

i would say it all depends on how bad the roads are near you, i live in ny and had 19s on for about 2 months until i bent one and called it quits and am switching to 18s

If you are going to buy 19s make sure not to skimp out and go cheap. You get what you pay for with wheels for the most part and cheap wheels are heavier and bend / crack much easier esp in the bigger sizes.
