Hi, I have a 2011 BMW 328xi and wanted to get new rims for it. I just bought new tires, and I stupidly didn't think about getting new rims before so I'm limited to 17" rims. I have a white car and the rims used to be plasti-dipped black (It was cheap and temporary), the plasti dip peeled off when I changed the tires. Anyways I want to get new rims and wanted some opinion from you guys/girls. So what are some recommendations for black 17" rims for a 2011 328xi.

Thanks ahead for any responses!

I have attached pictures with and without the plasti-dip.

Very clean E90 btw! is that red interior i see
So for the 17's hardly any company makes 17's anymore but APEX still carries 17's and very good looking ones also! Let me know if you have any questions about wheel specs!

Only white car i could find it on sorry

Thank You! Yes it is red interior, the interior is partly what sold me on the car. I really like those rims I actually saw those before. I'm going to look in to it. Thanks for the response!

I would actually like to ask you whether they would fit my tires. My tire size is 225/45R17XL. Also would it be possible to take the apex badge off and put a BMW badge?

[chris @ eas]

beautiful car! yes your tires will be able to fit with these rims. Yes you can remove your factory center cap and place it on these wheels

So I was looking up rims the other day and I found these. They are konig and I just wanted to see if you knew anything about konig, whether it was a good company. I don't want cheap wheels but these wheels look good and well they're pretty good price. I have attached the link. Also, would my tires, size 225/45R/17XL fit these rims? I am not sure if 225 would fit a 8 inch rim. Thanks ahead!

225/45/17 on 17 x 8 et34 is stock on 328xi. Your rims look like style 285's 17x8 et34

Rims listed in link are 45 offset, stock is 34 offset, you will need to run spacers.

But doesn't it depend on the type of stock rim too, because 328 have a lot of different stock rims.

Yes, besides 17" rims, 18" and 19" Diameters are available in 8" wide for fronts with et34 offset and 8-1/2" wide for rears with et37 offset. All e9x OEM 8" wide rims are et34 offset and 8-1/2" are et37 offset. ET45 offset is to small and will require 10mm (et45-10mm = et35) spacers or you may rub the back of the rim on the struts.
