18's Work! :thumsup:

Couldn't decide on 18's or 19's, but went for 18's in the end as i didn't want to lower the car. Happy with the wheels and 4kg's lighter in total than the standard wheels.

Of course 18's work


I went with 18's with non rft's

My 18's weigh
fronts 17kgs
Rears 19kgs

Total 72kg's

Old msport 17's with rft's

Fronts 22kgs
Rears 26kgs


Total 96kgs



So a saving of 24kgs which is pretty awesome!


Wheels look lovely

M359 reps in 18"

They don't work for me personally, due to the weak offset design (very little concave) and I just think they need to be 19s. Love the wheel style. I wish 18s worked as I'm sticking with them for tyres but for me they just don't. Good choice on tyres though.

No, I know it would look better on 19s, but I don't want to pay the extra price for tyres, or the reduced comfort.

Looks wicked! Really nice. I want to get basically exactly the same (also for my black pre-LCI e90), but in gloss gun metal

They're quite nice Jase.

I'm only saying personally 18" M359s don't work for me. But I wish they did!
