Style 193 or 230 rims for my e92 uro delivery in sept???

I am sure you guys have been through this before but I need help deciding. Problem is I love the 193's that come with the Msport. The 230's look great also. Just having a hard time deciding. Any ride/handling issues that I should take into consideration? Car will be Space grey if that helps. Pics would be greatly appreciated.

Thx Ant.

I got the 193Ms with my E92. If I had to do it again, I'd go with the 230s. The 193Ms are a good looking wheel but just aren't that aggressive IMO (cuts are too rounded). Also I think 19" is the perfect size wheel for the E92. 230s look great when the car is rolling.

If you're planning to get aftermarket wheels, then I'd go with whatever option is cheaper (if you're planning to sell the stock wheels, check the selling price difference between the 193Ms and the 230s, see if that makes getting the 230s worth it).

Thanks for the advice. I live in NY and was wondering if you have had any problems with the ride or potholes since I see you live in Philly? Is the ride any harsher with the 19" rims? I do not plan to upgrade the rims unless I can get the 313s for a trade, they are by far my favorite! I think the OEMs look great.
