Finally got my new wheels (19")...

groovyjay · 06-13-2008, 04:11 PM

The first set I got a month ago came with wrong ET numbers and had to take them back and wait another month for the right ones to show up.

Now they are here and I couldn't be happier! For all the nay sayers I have to say that 19" looks just right on 1-series! They actually make the car look bit bigger too...

Sorry for the crappy camphone pics... Will take some better ones tomorrow after I have washed & waxed the car again...

I will to take the wheels off again to install the BMW center caps to complete the look, no biggie.

What do you guys think? :drinking:

jrc · 06-13-2008, 04:20 PM

Look great to me.

Usual questions:

What are they? CSL reps?
Where from?
What offsets?
What tires?
Any rubbing?

I like the wheels a lot but they look a little too big on the 1er:iono:

groovyjay · 06-13-2008, 04:53 PM

Couple more....

ihatepostmodernism · 06-13-2008, 05:59 PM

very nice, not too big...just right. What make and model wheels?

juiced135 · 06-13-2008, 06:15 PM

Are you on stock suspension?
Did the 19's decrease the wheel gap?
Also, does your car sit higher because of the larger wheel?

If you could answer those id appreciate it!
Thanks!

They look great! Very nice choice!

Your car like the taste of 19" weels, this i know because i got 19" on my vert, The car is at the same ride hight as on the stock Msport wheels.. the only thing that is diferent is the look of the car, it simply looks a hole lot better on 19" than 18"...

I have no rubbing of any sort, 4 people in the car and still no rubbing...
Sorry my english as i have been to a "smal" Norwegian party.....

If he plus-sized the tires, none of that would change.

Rakash...your vert looks awesome with those wheels. Care to share the specs?

mistermojorizin · 06-15-2008, 02:34 AM

i love those wheels dude! so nice. i think its the spoke pattern that makes it look so good

groovyjay · 06-15-2008, 03:39 AM

Thanks guys for the thumbs up. The wheels are 8x19 all around with ET35, Front tires are 215/35/19 and rear tires are 235/35/19. Very pleased with the ride and handling... No rubbing what so ever.

jt328i · 06-18-2008, 11:14 PM

Great... but who makes them? I like these better than the CSL. Where did you get them from and do they come in 18's?
