Work Gnosis GS5 19 inch or 20? Advice
Hey guys, I have spent months deciding on rims and I think I have finally decided on Work Gnosis GS5. The only other decision I can't make is should I go with 19 inch or 20 inch? I don't want the car to ride like crap but would like some feedback from anyone that has some experience with 19 vs 20 on a 3 series.
Rims are going on a E93 335is. I am not planning on lowering the vehicle and I am considering rolling the fenders. Thanks Alex |

Hey Buddy
My car came with stock 19s and I put 20s non run flat replacements. Believe it or not the ride got better in my eyes. Those run flat 19s were harsh. Problem I had was some rubbing in the back on dips. My guys put some sort of "knuckle" in the back springs and rubbing is completely gone. They told me the rear fenders don't have much play as far as rolling and didn't want to risk it coming out "wavy". Hope that helps a bit Btw. Not a fan of work style wheels but the Gnosis are beautiful. Nice choice Off topic: If you look in to what Gnosis means and where it came from its pretty interesting stuff lol

They look bigger than 20's! They look really big in the first pic but then perfect in the second. How does it ride? What size tires are you running?

I don't love wheel gap either, I am hoping the change in wheel size will help fill that gap a little bit. The car is low enough for me, not really into scraping my car getting in and out of parking lots and it is already enough of a snow plow in the winter.

Thanks everyone, I am planning on going with 19's. I really want to go 20's but I don't want to end up with a bent rim. Our roads in Calgary can have some nasty potholes as I have already learned the hard way!
