Hey guys,

I love my rims but they are kinda small for me.

I would like to go to either 18" or 19".

I love the M3/M4 Rims and found replicas on flea bay for a nice price. Not sure if they will clear or rub?

Also I run the factory set Bridgestone Driveguards. Would like to get them in the new size or maybe go with Goodyear Eagles or Michelin PSS.

Need you guys to educate me on tires and rims.

What recourse do you have if you have a problem with a wheel after say 30 days? At that price you could probably just buy another but I don’t think that I’d buy wheels off eBay.

I actually bought the exact wheels from the first link for my winter set up. Currently running 245/40r18 tires all around. No rubbing what so ever. Just a word of caution though, make sure the installer puts the 9.5 wide wheel on the rear, they will rub against the struts if placed up front. Installer didn't realize the difference in size.

damn OP...car is clean as hell

I'd go with something a bit more unique than those OEM styles to match that not-so-common paint color.

True, wouldn't have a warranty source.

I think you need wheels to play off the gloss black detail you have on your trim. If you haven't already done so I'd say a gloss black kidney grills are a must (never mind you already have it...). Wheels in a similar gloss black finish would play off these accent pieces and really bring everything together especially in that unique bronze colour you have.

I disagree about black wheels. Black wheels remind me of the matte black steelies people mount snow tires on. You hide too much detail with black. A darker shade of silver, but not quite gun metal would be good, IMO. I like wheels in your second link.

If you like your rims, try lowering the car and putting some spacers on em.

I think style 193s look great on e90s. Getting ready to put a set on my nephews black e90. Great bang for the buck for oem m-sport wheels.

It’s not very hard to find a used set of these for a good price. Fb groups and OfferUp they show up frequently, especially with so many part outs.

I do not care for black wheels, it reminds me of the Fast and the Furious fade. If in doubt, go with classic not fades.

Agreed, the details are lost in black wheels from a distance.

Although I'll consider black, gunmetal gray or silver

I'd like to plan on these

https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-18-WHEE...0-96549e8a4a67

With 245/40/R18 unless other size recommended?

Either Driveguards, Michelin Pilot SS, Dunlop, Goodyear Eagles ?
