Need Wheels for my new 128i.....HELP!

Duff128i · 07-14-2009, 01:59 AM

I have a 2009 alpine white 128i and I want some new wheels. I would like to go 19in aslong as theres no rubbing with factory suspention. I'm loking for something black with a big polished lip on the back wheels. Now not sure how to go about finding the right fit....as far as the inset goes. Anyone put 19in wheels on there 1series?

Hey man, glad to see another Reginan...You could probably go and see Gord at Regina Wheel Works, he might be able to help you figure out what size of wheels your car will be able to fit, hes a pretty good guy, and he's good at what he does.

Why don't you look in the tire and wheel section?

Also are you sure you want 19s on? I have 18s with 35 series tires and its stiff.
I don't think anyone here is running 19s if anything people are trying to step down to 17s

Yep, you need to go over to the "Wheels and Tires" forum. There are lots of threads there about what will fit the 1.

There are a couple of people over there who are running 19's. It looks like in a lot of those cases there needed to be fender rolling/cutting to make them fit without any rubbing.

Unfortunately, the 1 needs a certain offset that is not too common (especially in 19).

Thanks all for the feed back, I was thinking 19 because I think they would look great however don't want to do any rolling or cutting. Perhaps staggerd 19 rear 18 front....not sure how that would look... thanks again

ForgeStar wheels are custom made meaning custom sizes and offsets = perfect fitment.

I don't think these would look too good and the E82, however these would of been perfect for my E34!Too bad she is gone

just get some CSL reps from Euroauto Source. They are a pretty good price too

Personally, I'm not a huge fan of that particular Forgestar rim but the F14 is beautiful!
