Monnaco Blue e90(Need Wheel ideas)
Hello! I have a Monnaco Blue e90(09 335 LCI X Drive) & I'm really just in search of wheel ideas. I woud love "18. I'm going FBO & Muffler delete this month and to celebrate I'm starting to plan out what wheels I would like to get. Ideally I would like to get my wheel set up similar to this first picture(I'd also like helping choosing half decent coilovers )Dont mock the front plate!It already came off that's just an older picture

I think some hyper silver or hyper black 18x9et30 Apex ARC-8s would look killer on that blue. Square setup too so you won't have issues with x-drive + you can rotate your wheels.
If you want to go for a more aggressive + staggered look then I recommend BMW 219M (OEM M3 wheels). I think they fit 335s better than the M3, in terms of both looks and fitment.

Check out the Apex EC-7 and FL-5, they look a little more similar to the wheels you posted in the first photo.
Secondly, get hyper silver or race silver... It pops on Monaco Blue and just looks amazing. Black wheels on blue looks like Poo... as we always used to say. |

+1 on the silver wheels.
Might just be my area but literally every car I see with aftermarket wheels they are black.

Don't have any other pics to show but that should give you an idea of something other than silver or black. I don't take a lot of pics and she's dirty now, sorry I can't be more helpful.

Personally I really like this look, seems to be even more popular over in Germany. Psuedo retro, very nice though. I was talking with some coworkers about this style and they said it was ruined by ricers, too "Mexican Honda Civic Looking".

While it does look nice, I am inclined to choose 17" for a variety of reasons.
1)Pricing, they are significantly cheaper by going from 18" to 17". This price difference can allow you to go from purchasing mid-range 18" tires, to top-range 17" tires. 2)Aesthetically, I think that the larger sidewalls on the 17" tires look better than the smaller sidewalls on 18". But that is obviously a subjective taste. 3)Performance, not only are 17" tires more comfortable due to the larger sidewalls, but there are also performance benefits.

I have a Monaco Blue E90 335xi with style 359m wheels. These pics are about 4 years old but the car is still mostly the same. You can get replicas in these wheels for almost every size.
