Question Can you get 18" wheels on a 328i Sedan?

I'm curious as to why the 18" are not offered as an option for the E90. I am looking to lease so I don't want to buy my own wheels. This option is offered on the 335i Sedan...why are they hating on the 328? Maybe the MY09 will have 18" option!

its best to buy replicas after you purchase the car IMO. there are tons of choices.

Yes, i have a 2007 328i. I bought some 189 18 inch takeoffs. I put the on, and what a different look. I had 1800 in them with new tires, non runflats. Ron

Its weird you can get 19's as an option in accessories but not 18's

Are you ordering your car? If so you can spec any wheel you want (that will fit the car) when you order. Say you wanted the 162's you can have them put on when you order you just have to pay extra for them. Have it financed into the lease.

The cheapest way would be to go with aftermarket replicas.

Yeah it's a little strange but I guess it's all about differentiation. If they offered 18's on all the 328i I'm sure they will lose some 335i sales. Differentiating products give consumers that extra push to spend the few extra grand.

You used to be able to get the 18" wheels as an optional upgrade on the 325/328 models if you got ZSP. Apparently no more.
