Switching from standard wheels to sport package wheels

JingChai · 06-04-2020, 10:52 PM

I have the 17x8 wheels that came with the premium package for my 2011 E90 328i: http://www.bmwstylewheels.com/bmw/285

I always wondered if there are any additional benefits with the sport package wheels like the 286: http://www.bmwstylewheels.com/bmw/286.

I have Koni Special Active shocks and H&R sport springs so the car is considerably lower than what it use to be.

Anyone change their wheels and notice a big improvement?

the benefit is the wider tyre in the back.

I would not put those E46 wheels on a E90. If you're looking to upgrade the wheels, I'd suggest the Style 197's. I put them on my E46 and they looked great.
