162's for E90 335i without ZSP

PINOY_E90 · 02-08-2007, 10:28 PM

I have regular 335i (no Sport Package) and I really liked the 162's that comes with ZSP.

I've seen 162's on sale on the classified forums and planning on buying it.

Will car look funny if I put on 162's?

What are the disadvandage of putting sport package wheels/tires on the non sport models?

Thanks!:

do a search for E92 on 19" 162s. It looks fine.

IMO, 162s are the best wheels possible for the e90. They just look so right; as if they were designed by the same people who did the car itself. Go for it.

If I'm not mistaken, you have an E90 and i think the E90 335i ZSP gets teh 162 so you'd just look like you go the ZSP

It would look very close. Car will sit a little higher, but thats something some sport or after market springs could take care of...

The 162s will look great on any car — even on a Kia Rio.

My e90 335i came with the 162 wheels. Although they look nice and very well made for the car, I swapped for CSL reps. I then put the 162's on my girlfriend's e90 325i with Sport... I must say, even though it looked nice with the 17'' sport wheels, the 162's gave it a whole different look...

E90T · 02-09-2007, 10:33 AM

162's are one of the best wheels ever.

jonerik26 · 02-09-2007, 10:36 AM

best wheels and really easy to clean

s4iscool · 02-09-2007, 11:27 AM

me personally i wouldnt do it. the height difference is significant enough that you will have the 4x4 look. Up to you though.

Trust me the avg Joe on the street will never notice the negligable height difference, and neither will you. Only certain E90 Post members are really scrutinizing those type things.

Go for it ... 162 and E90 are litterally made for each other

the 162s are heavier than a Kia Rio.

Has anyone actually done it that can show us? that would be helpful!

why dont you just go with the 19" morr alloys and get a really minimal drop such as the eibach + koni fsd setup? it will be like going aftermarket but in a really subtle, classy way. Plus, the fsd setup is very comprimising from what i hear. the konis, unlike any other aftermarket suspension damper, will dampen real world conditions and actually be daily drivable and the 19" 162's have a more aggressive concavity and looks wonderful.

162s rule. They just look terrific on the E90. In contrast, the ZSP wheels for the e92 are nice...but they do not look as good as 162s look on an E90.

They just don't IMO.
