17, 18 or 19's on E93

najericam · 04-12-2020, 04:07 AM

Hi there... Some time now I'm trying to figure out best wheel setup for my e93. Definitely 19 looks the best but where I live roads are not so great, ever so often I hit a pothole and almost every day there is new one.

At the moment I have MV4's on the car and love them, originally I had MV3's winch are still nice but ride was horrible due to run flats (MV4's are with normal tires and it is more or les the same). Said all this I'm considering to go even more down in size and to get set of 17's with normal tires. I was trying to find a picture of E93 with stock 17'' M Sport rims but without any success and then yesterday while driving around I spotted one on the street. It does not look bad but... :/

Anyway I'd like to keep it standard, so most probably I will consider those 3 styles from picture below (first two is my car) and would like to ask for some opinions, although I know choice is mine and I will get so many different answers but let's take in consideration road condition mentioned above.

I even tried a set of 400m with higher profile for 5, liked the ride but rims looked like they are not made for E93, which they are not obviously.

So I will appreciate any opinion. Thanks.

20inch asanti or lexani wheels

Jk get 18 inch BBS or apex rims or the 19 inch csl m3. The 335is are one of the finest rims you can put on these e92s

Thanks for reply. Unfortunately 19’s are to big. I love my MV4’s but as it’s convertible roof takes a lot... I found some reps of CSL M3 in 18, I like the look but not idea of reps. That’s why I will prefer to chose MV3 or even Style 194 17’s... :/

I run 19s and am lowered. Driving carefully to avoid potholes and such is a MUST.
Even on stock wheels I drive the same way so......not too much difference for me.

Just got very cheap of 194m to test and compare. More or less the ride is the same, maybe a bit better but they are still run flats. Now should I buy set of normal tires or... I don't know, it does not looks that bad but ride will be the best for sure.

Comparison of all 3 factory E90 M Sport rims:
