18" is better if you do want acceleration

theres no such i think as bad move IMO. ^^

it depends on how you feel about your 19". example... for me i rather go for bigger and less acceleration speed ^^"

19" for me, I honestly didnt feel any difference from the stock 17" to 19". The stock rims and tyres were damn heavy and my set of 19" with tyres are even lighter.

What rims are they?
Weight in lb?

I feel that less responsive in acceleration and breaking

I have the Rays GT30 which is not bad in weight, I dont know the actual weight of it though, but its still a 3-piece rim. The RE30 (1 piece) my friend has is damn light. As long as you dont use the runflat tyres and very heavy rims, I guess from 17" to 19" it wont be too much different.

18'' is the best size for E90, no matter it is a 320i or M3.

Style 260M

Just got my 18" style 260M (E90/E92 18" M3 wheels) on my 325i and got rid of the style 189s (with 18mm rear spacers). I love the aggressive offset!!

Gunma, got the rims from Targa Racing?
I like the style of 260M but at the same time I worry those M rims won't fit nicely with my non-M E90 (offset issue?).

Yeah, did some research and found out the 260Ms only fit non LCI e90. It seems from the thread you posted showed that they are a good fit for my non LCI. They fit perfectly as long as I put the correct size tires on. So far no rubbing at all even with two luggages in the trunk and 4 adults in the car.
