Looking for pics of 18's on e90's

akotten · 06-30-2011, 06:01 PM

I can't seem to find very many pics of e90's with 18's. I'm stuck with 18" wheels because of the roads around here so post em up! I really like the VB3's, but considering they're always back-ordered, I would like to see what else looks good. Thanks!

(P.S. - Preferably Montego Blue

)

Ha thanks, but it's not the same as nice high res pics coming from the owner themselves, along with their opinion of the wheel. I've literally spent all of each night this week doing exactly that, looking through google. I figured it was worth a shot.

i have 18's on mine...m5 replicas

Factory 162's on sport suspension. I like the 18" a lot. Considering the roads, 18 is as big as I will go. I just drove from Indianapolis to Hackensack/NJ and back, the ride was quite good for a "low profile" tire size. 18 is a great mix of sport with comfort.
Other than 189's, I cannot find a 18" wheel aftermarket or stock that I like as much.

I am in the same boat as you. I've been digging for a decent set of 18"s for over a year now. I've started bugging some of the wheel manufacturers that advertise here to start making 18" versions of their wheels.

Here are some suggestions for you to ponder on:

* BBS CH - very strong wheels, but bit on the heavy side.
* Apex Arc-8 - very strong wheels but light at the same time. They are excellent wheels for the track.
* Schmidt Revolution Space Line - Those would be total hotness on a E90 but they are bit heavier than stock. Strong wheels
* Rotiform Nue 3-piece Concave - Bit expensive, but DAMN NICE!
* CCW Classic - I saw a few of them in person in Eurowerks and the workmanship of CCWs is astonishing!
* Yokohama Advan TCIII - New wheel for 2011. Gorgeous design. Light and strong. Unfortunately it does not accept any center caps and is bit pricey.
* SSR Professor SP3
* Work Meister SR1 - new design for 2011
* Fifteen52 has released a new super nice wheel - Tarmac. They are bit heavy and only come in 8.5 widths but they are gorgeous.

I am also hoping that very soon Morr will start making wheels in 18's

Whatever happened to SSR? I thought they went out of biz years ago. I had the GT10's on my Mustang GT, loved them.

BTW, the SP3 looks a lot like the much cheaper (and very light) one-piece O.Z. Alleggerita HLT, which also comes in 18".

I feel the exact way. Can't roll with 19s with NYC roads. No way.

8.5" et30 225/40 and 9.5" et32 255/35, with 12.5mm spacers front and back on eibach sportlines. i personally like 18s because they dont make my brakes look small. although i believe 19s would fill more wheel well, im thinking about running 245/40 and 265/35 next time i buy tires.

With 245/40 and 265/35, won't your fronts be almost half an inch taller than your rears?
