Hey all - I searched but couldn't find any good examples of this. I have a 06 325i with the sport package. Now that it's almost paid off I want to get rid of my 17's and get the 19" VMR V713's with non-RFT's.

I could use some comments on how the ride will change, better or worse. Thanks!

It'll ride like shit in comparison. But just do it because your 17's look shittier.

Ha! Thanks. I figure i'll get a little more comfort out of the non-run flat Michelin Super Sports but lose some from the size... but you're right. The 19's look a ton better.

I have the same car and I'm also looking for new wheels and tires but I don't know what size to look for (17's or 18's, 19's are too big for me). Also, what tire setup are you running and is it the same all around?

19" wheels imo fill the wheel wells better vs 18" wheels (I have the 18" wheels w/ sport package) tossed on 19" wheels and it makes it look way better.

STL is only a few hours from me, come get the wheels I have

Don't have time for a 2 hour drive :/ but glad to see someone else from MO! btw, What tire sizes did you run on the 18" and the current 19"?

Then whatever the factory tires are (okay so close enough for easy shipping)

I guess I could take a look if you have any pics I have an 06 325i so the stock wheels on mine with sports package are 17" but I think 18" would look good as long as I know what size tires to throw on em.

I would use The Tire Rack they have a "wheel/tire" upgrade calculator on there (I also have a set of 18" VMR wheels on here fs)
