I wonder how/why Bekkers has 18's in gunmetel. So I guess it is a different manufacturer. Interesting. I'm leaning towards 19's now, anyway.

![]() Thanks for trying. Now, can someone talk about going from 18s to 19s? Not looks but how does the ride feel?

FrankQ I see in you sig that you have the 162 sport package rims. If you go from 18's to 19's you will also have a lower profile tire so the overall diameter of your rims and wheels will not change very much, it will be very close to stock. The reason why I want the 18's is because I have 328i with the 16 inch rims and if I get the 18's with low profile tires it will also be close to stock diameter for me. If I go to 19's it is too big of a difference and I do not want to change that. But I think for you 19's will be fine. Also, I don't think your ride quality will not be much different from stock if you choose non-run flat tires. Good luck

Your same logic would apply no matter what - if you're going from 16's to 20's or 17's to 18's. You go thinner and thinner on the tires to keep it roughly the same diameter. Many many people upgrade from 16's to 19's (including myself)

Jlevi how much would you charge for 19inch replicas with a tire package?

JL,
Another question about off set. Look at this picture. Notice how there is an angle from the edge of the rim to where the BMW center cap is. I'd like as much "angle" as I can get. I don't want the edge of the rim to almost be level with the center cap. I hope I explained myself correctly. What off set would be best for me then? Thanks.
