18" 193 or the 19" 225 on a 335i Coupe

Welshman · 01-16-2008, 01:18 PM

I've just ordered a 335i M Sport Coupe. It comes with the 18" 193 wheels as standard but the 19" 225s are an option.

The 19" 225s look nicer but is the ride quality seriously compromised by the reduction in sidewall height? The aspect ratio reduces from 40 to 35 on the front and from 35 to 30 on the rear.

Opinions please.

Are you planning to get aftermarket wheels later on?

If not I stick with 19", the car is too sexy for 18"

225M's are the only real way to go! I got them, and they are perfect

Thanks for the input. I will amend the order today.
