Hey someone is selling some stock rims/tires from their 135. Im not crazy about the rims I got with my 128, anyone know if I can put the 135 stock rims on my 128?
Thanks

I think there is someone - check the FS forum (Sales).

He has seen the for sale post, he just want to know if they will fit.

Here's proof.

[blackbubblebum]

is that lowered or sport pack?

[larryn]

Looks like sports package. Since it is parked in the grass, it looks 2" lower than it really is. Space between the top of the tire to the fender looks pretty stock.

It's interesting that the 128 rocker panels give the car less of the "pot bellied pig" look some have mentioned. Look at the 135 next to it.

Maybe it looks more like the pig because its white?!
Also would love final input if the stock 135 tires/rims will fit my 128.
thanks

....That picture is proof. That car in the picture with the 135 wheels on it is a 128i and the fitment is perfect.

The only diff between the 128 and 135 externally are the front and rear aprons and the rocker panels. The 128 sport suspension is the same as the 135 stock suspension. I already bought some used 135 wheels for my 128 to be picked up in Germany this fall.

thanks for the feedback.
BTW, anyone know if I will get a bit better driving experiance with the different size front and back tires?
TY

Actually, those are the US 135i rims on a 120d The white "135i" next to it is a 123d.

It will work fine, as far as I know. 99.99% sure. Do call your BMW dealership to confirm though.

What is a good price to sell the 128i stock sport wheels at?

Good to keep one of em as a spare? BTW might be in the same boat soon selling my stock 128 wheels.

Also still wondering if my 128 will handle better with the larger/wider wheels?!..ie a little "stickier".

I think people will want the 17" wheels for winter tires. Not sure what price would be fair. Check tirerack to see what new wheels cost and go from there.

I'll give you $800 for just the wheels. $1,200 if they include the all-season tires and tire pressure sensors.
