189 & 162 on E90..Which do you like better?

shragon · 09-28-2007, 06:03 PM

both are nice.

i'd go with the 189's just because there's so many e90 330i/335i's with 162's.

Lol.

I could see a lot of things going wrong if you have two girlfriends...especially if they find out about each other.

Yea, but if its wheels we are talking about... The 189s will never get the chance to see the 162s. Its the perfect lie.

162's all the way!

It appears you have already made you decision but I feel the need to way in anyhow: 189's.

Hi,

I'm having a tough time deciding which way to go - 162 or 189. Maybe some of you can answer some of my questions.

Which costs more new?
Which is lighter?
Do any of you think either is easier to clean?
Do you think there is a practical wheel strength difference between the two?

I have an E90 335i. I realize that 189's would be more unique (I'm upgrading from my 159's) so I'm tending to go that way.

Thanks for the comments!
Tom
