Style 197 or 189

Aprilia101 · 12-14-2008, 10:00 PM

Im just looking for some opinions - im stuck between both

ede92 · 12-14-2008, 10:14 PM

I have the 189s. I think they look more sporty. And easier to clean for sure.

Sounds like you are going back and forth between a 328 and 335 with sport package.

phattbam · 12-14-2008, 11:30 PM

I like mesh. 197s

Andro07 · 12-14-2008, 11:52 PM

197 for sure. 189 fugly.

Aprilia101 · 12-15-2008, 09:39 AM

funny that - almost 90% of all E92 on here have 189s

I agree the 197s have a bit more character to it but the 189s do look thicker

R12ax7 · 12-15-2008, 09:47 AM

197s, but the 189s do appear bigger
