Actually, these are probably the best looking wheels in 18" I have ever seen. This is why I will be having a set made in the future.


Or Fikse/Dinan FM5s in 18":

I think rims with lips in 18" are just to small looking for our big cars. If you want a lip get 20".

1. 20"s are retarded on any car IMO
2. 18"s are perfect with the right stance

But it's all personal opinion. Enjoy.

Don't make your decision without taking a look at Forgestar's F14 !

Best looking 18" wheel you can put on an e9X would be the Advan RS wheel. There's really no comparison at least in my mind, but obviously wheels are a matter of opinion:

I've gotta say that I am digging the F14s. I wonder if piano black or titanium would look best on my AW E92. I personally also like the gold but not sure I could pull off the look with my car.

BBS LM or BBS LM reps i think look good in 18 because the face already look small to begin with so you can't really tell between the 19 and 18 without looking hard.

agree on the wheels but in 18s you can def tell a difference between the 19s. Ive seen them in 18s in person and they look extra small bc the step lip. you can for sure tell 19s are bigger.

Oh I actually had a hard time differentiating without staring at them for a couple of seconds but I guess that's just me
