Going to used car lot and asking to swap wheels?

Desert_Fox · 07-18-2014, 05:01 PM

Hey guys, I have a 2013 335is which comes standard with 18" 313 wheels. I've always wanted the 19" 313 wheels, and i've noticed a few used car lots and BMW dealers have a couple 335is for sale. Do you think if I offered them $1000 to swap my wheels with theirs, that they'd budge? I just put Michelin Pilot Sport AS3 on, nice tires.

Worth a shot but if it's a bmw dealer they will say no. You have to find someone who will do it on the low.

I figured the same, I texted a few private sellers on AT and I will stop by a used car lot in town that has a few 335is' with the 19" wheels. I figure its a quick $1000 for them, average passerby will never know the difference between 18 and 19" wheel of the exact same design- only OCD people like me

If mine didn't come with 19s I would definitely do it!

I can't imagine the 19" would be worth $1000 more than the 18" wheels. You'll gain looks but lose performance and ride quality.
