No problem at all, your car makes the wheels look nice, compliment each other well more robust and concave than those 16" that came with the car!

Very nice. I love the shape of E91's. Larger wheels really sets them apart.

Its amazing what an inch are so will make

. What size are the original wheels?

johnnydad · 12-20-2010, 01:34 AM

Original wheels are 16's with 205/55 rubber. The extra width helps a lot as well and will hopefully contain the diesel's torque better too.

Ninjaoz · 12-20-2010, 04:35 AM

nice upgrade! looks good, do you notice any improvement in terms of handling?

i still have my original 16" that came with the car...they really look tiny on a E90! gonna save it for our snow trip so i could fit the chains etc.

johnnydad · 12-20-2010, 05:45 AM

Just fitted a pair of Contisport2 RFTs to match the half worn pair today so won't get a chance to try it properly until the weekend.

I toyed with 4 non runflat PS3s but the contis were only $20 each more so will try them first. LOL no shortage of spare tyres!

Wagon fits 4x225 tyres perfectly in the load area.

ooooweee!!

Lol big thumbs up to pete's photoshop

17s are still a bit small.. but it does look better!

cruvon · 12-20-2010, 04:36 PM

Wheels look cool but would make it extra hot if went by Pete's rendition

, Pete, what if the wheels were blacked out?

johnnydad · 12-20-2010, 05:19 PM

LOLs

Thanks Pete - my Mrs was wondering what it would look like dumped on 19's....

Here are some photos of a "real life" one for the missus. E91's lowered just a little with a larger rim look great. Love the shape.

I think Pete's version looks alot better though. I would love a set of Pete's 19's for mine...

John_01 · 12-21-2010, 12:02 AM

We all know that 19" wheels look more impressive than 17s. I got to admit the pics above look awesome, but I'm pretty sure the lowered E91 on 19s wouldn't be very comfortable on Sydney roads. It obviously depends on your priorities. For mine I'd be sticking with 17" for the family wagon.

335i-boy · 12-21-2010, 02:42 AM

Couldn't agree more. Just couldn't help ourselves.

I was going to black them out, but the time was nearly midnight so it was beddy-byes for me

sbce90 · 06-02-2011, 01:46 AM

Johnnydad, I saw this car today! First time I've seen a forum member's car just out and about.

johnnydad · 06-02-2011, 10:37 PM

Cool! Hope she was driving sensibly.....Mrs loves that car - still raves about it every few days
