19' LM or 19' RS-GT

325i-cn · 12-14-2006, 11:06 PM

I am trying to decide between 19" BBS LM's or 19" RS-GT's on my silver e90 325I. Please let me know what you think if I keep the original suspension.

kevE90 · 12-15-2006, 12:06 AM

Good question. We're talking 19" vs 19" only right. Sheesh, I can't decide

. Are you running stock sport suspension. I wanna know what others think too about running original sport suspension.

uhaulball · 12-15-2006, 12:13 AM

dannnnnng dude ur in beijing?

i saw a lot of nice cars at Vics/Mix. A lot of players in Beijing, you prolly one of em huh. BBS LM's without a question. YOu could probably find really cheap replicas there too, but you could afford the real ones no problem i bet

325i-cn · 12-15-2006, 12:23 AM

hi buddy! I live in Bejing and often go to VICS/MIX, this weekend so do I. Probably we met some times. hehe!(; BBS is really good wheel, and also available in China now, there are so many cheaper wheels in China, but I still perfer BBS, more reliable and good quality.

kevE90 · 12-16-2006, 02:21 AM

325i-cn,
You asked about running 19" on original suspension. Do you have sport suspension (sport package) or non-sport?

325i-cn · 12-16-2006, 07:42 AM

I am just running on original[non-sport] suspension now, does I have to change the sport package to fit for the 19' wheels?

E36325is · 12-17-2006, 08:21 AM

How about BBS' new LM-R? each rim 1kg lighter than the LM

325i-cn · 12-17-2006, 07:50 PM

LM-R is really fantastic! But where to order it in China. does it possible go with a staggered size?

uhaulball · 12-17-2006, 09:06 PM

i prefer LM over the R versions. just my opinion.

hi there...I am waiting for my 19" RS-GT order now. I also have a silver E90 325i.

I think the car will look odd without lowering it, and I can't wait. I just change to a SACHS suspension kit last week even though my BBS are not here yet

cntlaw · 12-17-2006, 09:39 PM

Yes, you will see RikuE90's 325i with RS-GT in a month's time.

dawgdog · 12-19-2006, 07:41 AM

RS-GTs are lighter. LMs cost more. I will have my RS-GTs on my silver 335 sedan tomorrow. I'll post pictures by the weekend.

ALPINE6SPD · 12-19-2006, 12:02 PM

lm

SV Concepts III · 12-19-2006, 07:32 PM

I think they would look great. I would go with the LM's personally but the RS-GT's are no joke either. Both are forged and lightweight wheels so you cannot go wrong in terms of performance.

Please let us know if you need any help with pricing information on either set, we have the entire line of BBS' ready to go

Exactly - that's why they get my vote

Bimmer325 · 12-20-2006, 07:57 AM

is there any rubbing problem with RS-GT ET25 19x9.5?

if you get tires that have a round-stretch liked shape, then it should not rub...i have tires that have the tire protector so it bulges out a bit. i had to get my fenders rolled

Bimmer325 · 12-20-2006, 09:55 PM

how about PS2 by Michelin? yours are Kumho rite?

yes, kumho spt. PS2, i'm not sure about as I have not had any experience with them.

SV Concepts III · 12-21-2006, 01:07 PM

PS2's are great tires. I have them on my own car and they offer an unmatched level of traction, high speed stability and corner grip. They wear pretty quickly and are quite expensive but if you want the best of the best, they are the way to go.

Some other great options include the Kumho Ecsta MX, Goodyear Eagle F1-GS D3 and if you want a real budget tire (great performing), General Exclaim UHP.

shragon · 12-21-2006, 02:01 PM

both are nice wheels, but i'd get lm's.
