18x8 et32 and 18x9 et35

The tire rack website sucks. Type in 05 M3 and you will see they offer an MT1 in 18x8.5 in an offset that will work w/ spacers for the e90.
The website needs to be able to just list all the stuff they have and in what offset.

BTW, ultraleggeras look like crap on every BMW i've seen.

You should look into Volks. Lightweight forged wheels that are super strong.

You pay for what you get, man. Quality doesn't come cheap.

Are those 18's? I'm thinking about those as well. The Volks are just too expensive.

Heat00 · 05-29-2008, 02:16 PM

I am now too in the 18" category after tire rack talked me out of 19", some of the roads I drive on will end in headaches with too low of a profile tire and 19"s.... hated... reality I guess, better than having 4 bent rims in a month lol.

anyone got pics of any of these 18"s too see on a 335??

or any other good options??

I went with 18" 9's and 10's. Ohio is doing it's best to take the gold medal for potholes. The centers on the Forgelines can be used with 19" staggered rim halves. So if decide I want 19" after the first set of tires I can switch them over, at a cost.

The car could do with a bit of a drop.
