Dilemma, which rims to put on for summer?

Higgs1 · 03-24-2009, 05:23 PM

I have the 18" 162's on the stock RFT's waiting to go back on to my 330i, but the winter setup I bought has 18" rims on Dunlop Wintersports, but I'm really digging the way the rims look on my car.

Which rims should I use for my summer tires?

These I got from tire rack

or the 162's

Does it make a difference in ride quality with the stock ones? I just really like the way the satin painted ones look, very sharp with my AW car

the ones from tire rack actually looks much better when on the car.
is it the finishing of the wheel or are they dirty? cause in the pics you car looks clean.

your winters are about 100x hotter then your stocks.
From the stock photo from tire rack they look cheap kinda, but on the car they look amazing i think!
