Melbourne red 18's or 19's

penny31 · 01-17-2009, 09:14 PM

hey guys, im seeking to see what the majority if you guys would prefer for the Melbourne red m3. 18" or 19".. On some colors, the different rim looks better so i wanna see what you guys think.

DevJ · 01-17-2009, 09:41 PM

19s if you want me to email you any pics off my iphone PM me your email

penny31 · 01-17-2009, 09:51 PM

Im talking bout the e90, IMO, the e92 should always come with 19s due to its lengthy look

DevJ · 01-17-2009, 09:57 PM

yeah..the e90 looks damn good with the 19s too i would definitely pick them and for the price of the upgrade you cant beat it

DevJ · 01-17-2009, 09:59 PM

oh yeah check your email bro

nusevad · 01-17-2009, 10:05 PM

18s ftw.

penny31 · 01-17-2009, 10:17 PM

thanks for the pix devJ, you've got one clean MB e92.

dawgdog · 01-17-2009, 10:29 PM

Its a matter of taste but I'm just not very fond of the 18" rims. I liked the 18's on the e46 better, but even then I regretted getting them and ended up upgrading to the 19" CSL wheels. My strategy is to use the stock 19" wheels (which I love) for the street, and then at some point I will get some relatively inexpensive light 18" wheels to dedicate for track use.

Stunnerable · 01-17-2009, 10:36 PM

I always go for the cheaper wheels.. I prefer (most of the time) aftermarket wheels.

+1.

I think the 19s cost around 2k as an option and you probably will sell it for about that price or less too if you decided to in the future. Hence, if you are gonna get aftermarket wheels, def get the 18s... It's about $1500 gift from BMW right there!!!

HighQ · 01-17-2009, 11:39 PM

19" with a dark tone is ideal, 18" looks a tad small IMO.

Rimola · 01-17-2009, 11:50 PM

i thought the 19's were $1,200 as an option...which i think is dirt cheap, considering some people sell them for more than they paid initially

Rook · 01-18-2009, 02:26 AM

hands down the 18's on MR! my brother has that combo (e90 m3 MR on 18's) and the darker rims look way better than all the pics ive seen of the 19's on MR. I also have the 18's on my e90 m3 jet black and love em. they look a lot meaner imo

lincoln · 01-18-2009, 02:36 AM

personal preference, I ordered 19's, but only because I wanted it to look clean and not get aftermarket rims on this car.

penny31 · 01-18-2009, 02:42 AM

damn the poll is dead even, looks like i cant go wrong with any of them

footie · 01-18-2009, 02:52 AM

Do a google search and check out some the images of the MR M3 with stock 18", it convinced me enough to pick 18".

jamesisel · 01-18-2009, 04:48 AM

I like the 19 best on MR, although 18 look good too. I don't think you can go wrong either way. but i voted for the 19

revmmm · 01-18-2009, 08:05 AM

Pretty close poll. Both look hot with the MR.

Rimola · 01-18-2009, 10:25 AM

personally i voted for the 19's. as mentioned above both look fine indeed...i guess in the end its a personal preference

MJC///M3 · 01-18-2009, 11:06 AM

19"s look better on MR IMO. I would go with them.

rd4LLe92m3 · 01-18-2009, 11:42 AM

19s look better ... Unfortunately I have 18s

DevJ · 01-18-2009, 12:02 PM

oh yeah heres another reason to buy the 19s..
if you dont like them, im positive someone on the forum will trade you for your 19s for their 18s + cash

so youll get 18s and money if your not happy..lol cant go wrong with the 19s
