What do you think of my wheels?
It came with my car when I bought it a month ago. I think it's the stock 18" wheels. Looks kind of ugly to me. And center caps looks kind of beat up too. Can I buy new center caps somewhere? |

They are style 189 and came from the factory on 335's with sport package. And no you can't buy new center caps anywhere. They've been outlawed.

I have them on my 328 also. The wheel caps you can buy at the dealership or from various other sources. I recently found out first hand that the ones at the dealership went from about 10 bucks a piece to 25 bucks a piece CAD. Luckily, I wasn't paying.

The center caps are an easy fix. I bought my E92 a couple months ago and like the Style 189's, except for the curbrash the PO left for me. I'll be looking for Style 225, 269 or 313's when I'm ready to retire them.

From my experience there are plenty of center caps on websites such as Amazon. I picked my current ones up for under $10 to replace the heinous orange and white ones the previous owner installed.

I don't have to. They're not that good anyhow, it's the stock Bridgestone Potenza run flats.
Any disadvantages to 9.5" over 8"/8.5" ? I would imagine the tires would be more expensive. My car is an xDrive so may be it makes sense to make all 4 the same width. |
