Buying new wheels, have questions...
I currently have '06 E90 325i with Type 156 (16x7 ET34 205/55 R16)
I'm looking at a set of rims on craigslist for $500 that are 18x8 5x120 with 46mm offset. Will these looks decent? should i expect any problems? Your input is greatly appreciated!! Using the wheel size calculator at the page, I've concluded that the best tires for these setup would be Size: 255/35ZR18 to retain the closest wheel diamater? Please help me out EDIT: also what do i need to know about TPMS? Will it be compatible with this wheel? Last edited by BOSSBMW; 07-08-2010 at 09:39 PM.. |

U don't want to run staggered setup?
18x8. 18x9? Or even 19x8.5 19x9.5. Those offset are high, btw. Tpms, don't know if it'll fit. What brand are the wheels? For another 500-700$. U can get great reps like linea corse or vmr. Check out the wheel vendor section. Good luck, u'll find great set of wheels.

Also I notice the color of these is "Hyper black" are the ones shown below just silver? how would Hyperblack look on TiAg? |

The offsets are too high IMO, your stance is gonna look bad. But nothing can't be fixed with some proper spacers.
Yes he doesn't need TPMS for the 06 models.

A few things:
-The original wheels you posted have too conservative of an offset, they will be really tucked under your fenders. -The tire size you mentioned is way too big for that set up. You would want something more along the lines of a 225/40/18 for an 18x8 wheel. -The picture of the VMR wheels you posted are hyper silver, not hyper black, just so you're not surprised when a different color shows up on your doorstep. |
