18" ZSP vs 19" Dropped on E92

BMW! · 07-15-2008, 08:26 PM

What do you guys think? I know most people prefer 19" dropped on an E92, but I am not sure if I will lower my car in the future... I really like the 18" OEM ZSP wheel size on the E92 but not sure if I'll like it if I upgrade it.

I remember a thread about the same topic, does anyone have a link or some comparison pics? Thanks!

i dont really understand your question. are you asking if 18" 162s without a drop look good on an e92 vs. 19" rims with a drop look good on an e92?? if so it really depends what 19" rims you are looking at and how low you think you will drop your car. you really cant go wrong with the 162s, but there are alot of nice 19" rims out there. i think you need to be more specific if you want a true comparison.

lets say a 19" CSL that is NOT dropped on an E92 vs 18" CSL stock sport suspension

19s will look just fine on a E9x. You don't have to drop anything if you don't want to. It's just that most people prefer a smaller gap (or none at all) so they would drop their car to get rid of it.

I think you'll like the 19" VB3 csl on your E92 more than 18" VB3 csl wheels. I feel 19" wheels look much more proportional on the E92 chassis even without any lowering. 19" is the way to go!
