Im getting some new rims for my car but theres 2 things I need to ask you guys, I found some deep dish rims that I like, In the picture it shows a machined lip, but the salesman said that "he can get in stainless steel lip" and that its exactly like a chrome lip, shiny and all..He said that its the same lip on the Vossen 078 wheels, which when I saw it in person has a great chrome finish......... Is this acurrate..

And last he wants to give me 265 rear tires and 235 front tires, he says that 275's might rub

I have a 325I 2006, 35+ offset

Thanks in advance

what are the offsets of the wheels u want to get??? then ill be able to tell you what size tires u can get

stainless steel lips are chrome looking.... i had a set of wheels with stainless steel lips and they looked great....

of the wheels u want to buy

Oh so it basically has the same look???...The mirror effect that chrome does???? Do you know what the difference is then?


There 38 in the rear.....

38mm rear offset, so you can go 275's no problem.... i have 275 tires on the rear of my E90 and my wheel is 19x10 et 36mm, no rubbing at all

yes, same mirror effect as chrome...

the difference, i dont know...

235/265 is good choice. If you go with the 275 I'd recommend a 245 up front, to keep the overall balance the same.

The machined lip will not be as shiny as the stainless steel lip, so if a "chrome" lip is what you are after, go with the stainless.
