What would you do?

If you were on a budget and had to choose between these 2 options

Obviously I know it's personal preference but just curious what you guys and ladies think

I have 08 bmw E90 335xi
Giac stage 1 and injen dci
Stock 159 wheels with lots of tread on my rft's

Both choices are roughly same in cost......

Upgrade wheels with some vmr/avante 18s with some new non-rft's

Purchase vrsf - dp / fmic / chargepipe / keep stock dv's / bms dp fix / then upgrade to giac stage 2 (I like this software so sticking with them ) and then just buy some wheel spacers so my 159s look more flush / aggressive stance

So that's it.....as I'm getting older speed doesn't seem that important but then again if opportunity knocks.....

But I also hate my 159s. Maybe I wouldn't if they were flush with my fenders.

Like I said I'm not doing both bc of $$. Any thoughts ??

I would do the second option without the spacers.

if you are going to do the wheels, rather than vmr or avant look into apex wheels.. they are a much better quality wheel than both of those options and really wont kill your wallet.. i have personal experience with vmr and bent 1 within the first 2 months of having them

Thats what I would do too

OP if your happy with the current level of performance why not go for the wheels and tires. Non RFT will ride sooooooo much smoother.
