What's the best looking wheel set-up?

I've seen 19's on the 335i coupe and they don't look good. The car is to long. So I'm thinking 20's or maybe 19x8.5 front and 20x10 rears? Anyone have that set-up?? Can you post pix:rocks:

19s are perfect for the e92/90

Don't forget to consider the ride height of your car (i.e., your suspension setup). This has a tremendous impact on the appearance of your car.

If your point of the post was to ask for pictures of coupes on 20's why not ask that?

Huh? I would not put 19X8.5 on front and 20X10 on the rear...it would look funny..and probably not fit well in rear.

19s is a good compromise.

The 20" DPE look good because the deep dish (lip) makes it look smaller.

The second E92 with 19's is deceptive because I think that wheel with dark centers and polished lips always look smaller than they actually are. Those 19's look like 18's because the polished lip sort of closes in on the dark centers. The style of certain wheels can make it look bigger or smaller. I think Style 162's look a little bigger than 18" because of the clean radiating spoke design.
