What rims to put on my 335i?

paetim · 05-23-2011, 03:30 PM

I want chrome rims on my black 335i but I can't decide which rims I want. Should I go with 18's or 19's? Post pictures if you have any cool rims to give me an idea. Thanks!

if your going for looks then 19's are your best bet but if you are going for comfort and ride go for 18's that way u will actualy have some rubber on the rim. if u go with 19's the tires will look and feal like rubber bands.

Not crazy about chrome on black cars. Id go with 18s. Above post spot on about comfort and real world implications

*False. They will not look and feel like rubberbands. You just need right size tires. Most new luxery cars come with 19s from the factory.

my ride on 19", rides great no problem here!! Use to love rome, but wanted a change

JDLM · 05-25-2011, 10:25 PM

I say no to chrome I would go high polished/buffed polished

PeteW84 · 05-26-2011, 01:06 AM

Can't stand chrome, hyper silver with polished lips are the way to go!!!

Have you seen our Hyper Black finish on black? Its very similar to a smoked chrome but is a highly dynamic finish that changes depending on the lighting you are around.

Those don't actually look like that. VMR took my photos (without my permission) and severely post-processed them, including Photoshopping ugly VMR center caps in.

335iVA · 05-27-2011, 04:07 PM

Those VMRs are nice. What size are they? Do they have them in black? I'm trying to go all black on my car as well...Is your window trim OEM, or did you spray / vinyl wrap them?

paetim · 05-27-2011, 10:15 PM

Thanks guys I am still deciding on what I want, the hyper black finish looks pretty nice! I was considering all chrome with a chrome lip, but i've seen a few pictures and I don't like the look. I'll post some pictures on what I decide.

Crome on a BMW is a disgrace!! Leave Crome to the Lexus.

JSCO · 05-29-2011, 07:47 PM

Boy O Boy did you open up the flood gates...the typical forum member here would disown you if you were a relative claiming chrome on a BMW

...I personally agree for the most part..but go with what you like man...N def do 19's at the least

bob.g · 05-29-2011, 08:03 PM

19" sf-71. Finding someone who has them in stock, thats another story.

This is what I'm waiting for & according to most of the vendors they will be in stock this week. I can't wait to get them on my car.

Same here, i'm deciding either hyper black or gunmetal, but is it me or does the SF-71 hyperblacks have a darkish chrome look to it? I just want to avoid anything hinting of chrome altogether.
