right now I have two options.... 18X8 ET38 ($160 each) Made by Miro or 18X8.5 ET35 ($180 each) Made by...who knows.. which one will look better on my 335xi? |

1st one for sure..MIRO reps are not just any reps. Plus itll be a waste of money for the second ones.

I have miro rims and am very happy with them. They are 18X8 all around. I wish they were staggered but they don't make them. Nice rims IMO.

For winters, you want as small of a footprint as possible, so the 18 x 8 would put as much of the vehicle's weight over as small of a contact patch as possible.

I'd recommend going with the Miro reps, it's the brand we carry and have had nothing but good experience with. They are all JWL and VIA certified so you are ensured a quality wheel. As far as what is a "better" setup, both will work well on your car...there is no right or wrong.

Go with the Miro's...if you were gonna run staggered summer tires, I'd say go with the others but if it's just winters, hook up with one of the sponsors on here for a good deal on some Miro's...IMHO, 18X8 M6 reps are the shiznit for a winter setup, I just may be doing the same meself in a few months...
