Hey there, while that is a good deal, and I hope you get your asking price I have seen the 18’s, and 19’s and Msport for less than that. However I realize that the majority of the larger rims pretty much brand new are gonna be more expensive than that.

What did you upgrade to? I had a loaner 228 I with the 17s and at first I thought they were hideous. But they grew on me a little bit however they are much too small for the car, I have the 18s and I think that they fit the car well, yet they don’t look like 18s as a casual observer. I’m going to ditch the stock run flats and I might put 40 series sidewall, or perhaps get 19s but I know that both of those choices will impact the ride. So most likely I will probably just get some Kumho Ecsta PS31 summer tires, I would love Michelin pilot sport 4s, but they are just too expensive…

Hi there, I search a lot for wheels and I could not find anything that really like, I was between some OZ leggera and the Indy HLT, but I was not really sold.
There are not many options out there for our cars and didn't really like the 17s.
I ended up getting this in 18": (they were cheap,with 225/40-18).

If I have to buy wheels again, I would recommend you go for the 19', I like the wheels I chose, but I think 19' are the best fit.

Those look really nice, have you put them on the car yet can you post some pictures? What kind of tires did you end up going with? And will you be able to fit a BMW center cap? If you do buy some new center caps perhaps you can get the floating ones that always stay upright, I think genuine BMW ones are like 120 bucks but I have seen well rated aftermarket for like 50. Check out some videos on YouTube��

Here are some pics, tires are 225/40-18. (I should had installed 235-40 or 225-45), I may get the bigger tires, I still feel I want to close a little bit more the gap.
I installed my H&R wheels today.

They look really good, I am definitely going to replace my tires with some ultra high-performance summer tires soon and I was gonna go with 225-40-18’s, But I would love to go with 235-40-18s. 225 is a bit too small. I realize that it might affect the speedo. And I don’t want to put any spacers or anything…

Your car is the same color as mine, I’m thinking about doing tint, and I’ve gotten some quotes for ceramic tint and they’re like $800. Also I really want to paint the calipers which would look awesome on your car because you can definitely see them much more clear now, my car is leased so I have about 32 months left and I can get the calipers for probably pretty cheap when I return my lease. I’m definitely thinking red..
