Request for picts - e90 with m6 reps (18's all around if possible)

ksm · 08-07-2009, 04:19 PM

I'm looking to purchase some m6 reps for my e90 (330xi) and was hoping to see what the 18's look like (vs 19's , seems like everybody has 19s).......if possible, all you e90-xi (with stock suspension please) brothers & sisters, please post some picts of your vehicles so that we can have a centrally located place to "window shop" for wheels, they don't have to be m6 reps, the more the merrier

thanks in advance,
KSM

Here you go:

18" M6 Reps

And 19s:

I prefer the CSL look on sedans but if you do the M6s, I would do 19s. The 18s IMO are a bit undersized.

ksm · 08-07-2009, 05:26 PM

... they do look a bit undersized, my problem is that I have an xi setup and with 19's im afraid the sedan will look waaaay too jacked up

.....and id rather not have to lower the suspension because up in these parts, i sometimes do need the clearance in winter. Do you by any chance have any other picts of 18's and 19s on an xi vehicle? I've been doing searches all afternoon, have found a few on xi's but they didn't clarify what size their setup was......

I'd go with the 19's and the stockers in the winter .......

Here is my E90 with M6 reps. They are 19" staggered.

If there is actually snow on the ground, then you might want that extra clearance that 19's would give you with the stock suspension. Another option would be to get coilovers so you could adjust the ride height for for different seasons.

And I really like the way the M6 wheels look on the e90, go for it!

19 looks way better dude!

If you want a set of 18's with tires I have a like new set with under 500mi om them and no road rash(mint condition).

Interesting, although with the 19s I ended up with UHP tires, and I didn't see much that would work for driving in the snow. Personally, I think it's more prudent to keep your old wheels, mount snow tires on them, and then switch for the winter. Unless you are in a freak storm in a non snowy area of course. Here in SLC I think I'd die running my 19s during the winter.

I agree, i'm planning on keeping my current 17's for winter setup. Still not sure how odd 19's or 18 M6 reps will look with stock XI suspension on the e90......if you have photos, please post!

Thanks again in advance

19's with the proper tire sizing and profile will actually not increase or change the ride height. You maintain the overall wheel and tire diameter so there is no change in height. However, with larger wheels, you do have the optical illusion of a larger wheel gap because there is less tire to blend in with the wheel well.
