Late lunch is a no-go for me today unfortunately, so I'll have to catch you all another time.

It's an incurable disease. I've came to grips that there is nothing I can do about it.

Can't meet Wed, possibly Saturday for a C&C or something... maybe meet for the X3 unveiling, but I imagine we'd overshadow it ;-)

I'll be at C&C again

Sorry I missed you guys today. Framing a house the next few weeks.

I am fairly new to E90 Post and noticed this Utah thread. I have a few aftermarket wheel questions...hope you guys can help me out. But first a few details:
My car is a 2009 E92 335i xDrive, Alpine White. I currently have the all-weather sport wheels, 17", v-spoke style 188. I don't intend on lowering the vehicle. I intend on using the 17" wheels for winter driving.

I am looking at 18s and 19s now for summer specific wheels and have narrowed it down to two wheels: Forgestar F14 or Alufelgen SF-71.

-Does anyone here own these wheels or wheels from these wheel companies? Does anyone you know own a set of these wheels? If so I would like to see your car!

-What is everyone's impression of 19" wheels (using 35 and 30 series tires for front and rear, respectively) on Salt Lake roads?

-What is everyone's take on using a 19" wheel on an xDrive car with standard suspension? Does the wheel well gap look bad on an xDrive? Should I just stick with 18s?

Any suggestions would be helpful!

Thanks!

Das M · 11-17-2010, 07:11 PM

I'll be at C&C too, hopefully the weather holds as I don't plan on putting the winter shoes on till late Saturday or Monday.

adrock · 11-17-2010, 07:29 PM

Rear suspension is on upside down.... Shiiiiiiiiiiii...... t.

Welcome to here. Nice to have another xi/xDrive fan. Unfortunately, I can't help much with the wheel questions since I'm the boring, stock guy of the group.

I guess that explains the "settling" issue . . .

Who put them on?

And as far as the wheel questions. I run 19" VMR 710s in the summer...think they're the same design as the SF-71s. 19s can be a little rough and look like the right size for the car...just gotta be careful for the potholes. I'm also on springs though...

Didn't Jeff have the F-14s on his 1er?
