Advise on These Rims for my E92

3urger328i · 08-31-2008, 07:30 PM

Hello everyone. I have an E92 328i Alpine White Sports Package. I was wondering if everyone can put there input on a few things. I'm in the market of buying some rims. Here's the question's What do you guys think of these rims on my car? Are 18's a good size for my car? Do I need to get the H&R sport springs in order for these wheels to look amazing on my car? Should I not lower the car and just put these rims? Do you think this finish is good, or should I powder coat them black or white? I know it's really up to me, but I'm curious what everyone thinks/ BTW, the price is $899.99. Good Price? Thanks everyone.

(I hope this is the right thread, LOL)

Go to the garage section and look at other cars and decide for yourself. Price, if you can afford it do it.

Its your car, but remember, 18" is stock for many 3 series. Even 19" come from the factory as an option. I would go at least 19" if you want to make an impression. 18" wouldn't even be noticed. As for lowering, finish, that's personal preference.

Bump....

hey man, first start off with a nice subtle drop with the H&R springs. then work your way into the rims :P look at the photo galleries to get ideas. personally i dont think those wheels will look good, but everyone has their own taste.

They rock, get them

Go 19" and you should be okay.

I've got an AW car also. I'm going to use my stock 18" for my winter rims and am looking at black with silver lip for summer tires. I think those would be awesome in black.

go with 19's all the way.

Have you considered these. Moven BSr. Similar mesh design. I have them on my car but since you have White car, this will show them better. This car has 19" tires and a drop. I can speak from experience that these wheels are tough. Hit many a pot hole and no vibration issue, really do not lose air pressure . I got mine from Jlevi and came with BMW center caps. Cost would be $856 just for wheels. These don't come in 18" . My wheel and tire (General Exclaim UHPs)package including S&H and new TPMS sensor came out to $1776 last year. Possibly a slight increase since then? Also available in hyperblack. http://www.jlevistreetwerks.com/Whee...duct_info.html
