fifty_cent · 03-23-2011, 05:56 AM

Hi everybody, looking for 18 or 19wheels for my american 325.

I think about 19 rims, but everybody in bmw club in Russia tells about acceleration lowering and rigidity. If someone has experimence with 19', pls advise.

What design do u like best. I have 3 offers for today.

style 230 (OEM) 19
style 162 (OEM) 18
m3 reps 19 8.5-et34
9.5-et37 is it fit size?

Thank you all in advance.

For Russian roads? In city or in country? If it's in country then I would advise you go with tank threads instead.

HAHAHA dude that's freaking awesome.. Good find.

fifty_cent · 03-24-2011, 02:57 AM

but somewhere the roads are good in Moscow, so I need good wheels. Is it big difference in rigidity and acceleration between 18 and 19?

stock wheels are strongest in my opinion...get 189's or 197''s or 162... personally i love the 162

Hey fifty_cent, I thought roads in Moscow is not that bad at all, I have 335i with sport package (162 style 18"), good looking wheels and honestly 18" for Saint-Petersburg is more than enough cause our roads is crap, if you want to be a little bit on a safe side - get 18", but 19" will look better of course..

yes for 215 horses you'd feel a difference from 16' to 19' in acceleration from a ditch.
