Isn't it clear?? On the fence between ordering my 335is with 18's or 19's just being cautious about the 19's with all of the cracking issues that you must have heard of.Prefer 19's if there are no issues with this rim unlike the 225's & 269's which have terrible history.That's it that simple

My 19 inch 313 are fine. You always here the horror stories on here. If you like them go for them, just watch out for huge pot holes. No matter what wheels, if you hit a large enougth pot hole, and the right angle ect, if its going to go its going to go

.....especially with the super low profile tires that come on the 19s. If you are concerned about it, maybe but tire and wheel insurance. That way you would be covered if something happened.

Hey thanks for the feedback..How's the ride? As harsh as claimed? Tread wear? Been driving 18's past couple of Bimmers looking to up size without too much of a sacrifice but those 19's are sweet.

Thinking before i would fork 16 hundred I would just tear off the RFT's since that's really the issue with cracking an save about 5 hundred...thanks for the reply!

To be honest my audi and my astra both have 18's on with non run flats. Yes the run flats on the 19's are harder. But wheel size isn't much different then the 18s I find. However that's subjective, and someone else may think different.
If you can get them with non runflats great. Would you then get tyre foam? Hardly any tyre places I know will change a tyre with tyre foam in, I've asked about 6. |

I like the 19s cause they appear more concave, but the 18s are cool too. I think there would be a slight difference in ride comfort with the 18s, but to me it's not enough to beat how awesome the 19s look.

Once you get 19s the 18s will look too small. I don't have years of experience but I have driven on 19s for about a year with no problems. I would go for it.

My buddy has the 19's on his 335is and while they rode like crap with the stock runflat 050a's, they ride like butter on his 235/265 super sports. The difference is really night and day. Anyone who says otherwise has not made the rft-->non-rft switch on 19" wheels. He cracked one of the wheels when he had the runflats mounted but despite moving to downtown Baltimore where the roads are horrific he hasn't had any issues on the non-rft tires.
I am a firm believer in non-rfts to save the wheels. My soft gravity cast m6 replica wheels have lasted 3 years and still have no cracks/bends despite my fully modded suspension and hitting potholes head on that cracked my brother's 135i 18" msport wheel (also using 050a runflats).
