better pics of my new rims...

hjs1971 · 07-03-2008, 04:39 PM

I told you I'd post better pics on a sunny day...yes my car is dirty and yes, all you southern folks think it needs a drop. Anyway, a little better than the last pics...

VMRWheels · 07-03-2008, 05:28 PM

Looking good! For some reason your car seems really long in those pictures.

cheapa55 · 07-03-2008, 05:45 PM

Are those 18s? they look kinda small. everything on this forum is 19 or 20 so I'm spoiled by looking at those.

hjs1971 · 07-03-2008, 06:12 PM

VMR, it's the Li model- 335xi Li...jk, must be the angle of the camera.

Yup they are 18's...I personally don't like 19's, esp. on an xi but to each their own...

BMW MotorSport · 07-03-2008, 07:32 PM

car looks good but wheels with lips smaller than 19 inch look way to small for such big cars like our BMW's. your wheels look like a 17 inch. what wheels are those by the way?

uabimmer · 07-03-2008, 07:38 PM

+1 on the drop

sorry couldnt help it....heeehee

Jsnscot · 07-03-2008, 07:59 PM

Sell those and get some 20s!

hjs1971 · 07-04-2008, 12:23 AM

Tell you what, anybody with an xi that has 20's on it, come on up to my neck of the woods...I will tell you where to go, you drive but we will go on the roads that I know...I guarantee you the price of a set of 20's, you will agree, 18's are good for where I live...if I was in FL or SoCal, 19's would be on the menu and I wouldn't have an xi...

hjs1971 · 07-04-2008, 12:25 AM

Oh, they are ADR Battle Exe 18's...I wanted staggered M6 reps but no one makes those and I thought these were the best I could get staggered in an 18...by best I mean-look good and not too expensive.

Don't say no one

But I am liking your rims, its like old school rims on a new car and it works.

bolinp78 · 07-04-2008, 03:09 PM

Those wheels look silly small

cbad335 · 07-04-2008, 03:20 PM

Looks good

And it sounds like you have practical reasons to run 18" wheels and not drop the car.

hjs1971 · 07-05-2008, 01:37 PM

Ron, at the time, I couldn't find the staggered 18" M6 reps...if you get some in, let me know, I might be looking for a winter setup!

Cbad335, don't you go calling me practical! JK, at least someone realizes not everyone can drop their car and run 20's...

AW335iCoupe · 07-06-2008, 05:30 AM

Those look really small in my opinion.

spyahoo · 07-06-2008, 09:01 AM

Sorry man but these wheels make your car look like its from the 1970s. The wheels look so small the rest of the car does not look right. Dont mean to sound like an asshole but I would put the stock wheels back on.

Even all these guys with 19s inch iforged wheels look small. Anytime there is a lip on a wheel its going to look smaller

fedinand · 07-06-2008, 09:22 AM

Nice set-up. Looks good. The xi ride height seems to magnify when you put after market wheels on a car. Wheels look like the old SSR GT1s (they were one of my favorite wheels).
