Minas335 · 08-28-2010, 05:06 PM

Hi everyone I am trying to decide between 19's and 20's Could you guys please post some pics of both plz I really want to see the difference. And some info on these would be great such as how it rides? what suspension are you running so on ...

Thank you.

IMO, 19's are the way to go. 20's are too big

Brey335i · 08-28-2010, 05:24 PM

19's

20's

Nedim · 08-28-2010, 05:30 PM

20s are for 5 series or 7 series...way too big on 3

IN54NITY · 08-28-2010, 06:21 PM

19s are slow, 20s are slower, so 18s.

I guess it's like what Billy Crystal said, sometimes it's better to look good than to feel good. (And dahling you look absolutely maaaahvelous.) 19s then.

JDLM · 08-28-2010, 06:26 PM

Wheel/tires section perhaps/ or photo section?

I love the look of 20s but I can't imagine they'd ride very well - not enough sidewall. I switched from the OEM RFT 18s to Goodyear F1s and KW streetcomfort coilovers - set on the softer side and the ride is much better than the 18" RFTs.

captainaudio · 08-28-2010, 08:07 PM

I would recommend 21s, lowering the car 3" and installing the stiffest shocks you can find,

jayely1 · 08-28-2010, 08:13 PM

100% 19's..

GregTheStig · 08-28-2010, 08:18 PM

I'd never go bigger than 19's on a 3. Actually I'd just go 18's if it was my car. Roads around here are just too crappy for ultra low profile tires, of course that never stops some people.

gotta go with the flow.....MY FLOW....

1980 - 14"
1985 - 15"
1990 - 16"
1995 - 17"
2000 - 18"
2005 - 19"
2010 - 20"

So if we "go with the flow" does that mean that in 2080 cars will have 7 foot rims?

2007335i · 08-28-2010, 09:05 PM

nice...I just purchased a set of ICONZ 880ZR's in 20". I hope they look good

I just put a deposit for the 830z's I was talking to Mitch from Iconz and he said he would do it for almost the same price 19's and 20's about $200-300 difference that's why I'm still deciding idk which to go with as soon as I make me second half of the payment they will starting my rims. But I don't know which to go with I also like the 530z's but I was thinking that I would need some nice BBK's to show them off what do you guys think 19 or 20? and 830z or 530z. Oh and by the way my car is a 2011 335i M sport just ordered should be arriving mid october AW/CR 6MT Prem, and navi
