E90 162 Rims

[Juan Powerblow]

Yeah, I can check with AB glenmarie too. Let's hope it's 3.8k but sometimes I keep wondering if 3.8 k is worth it just for an inch drop.. hmmm

Bro, it's worth it in many way. Besides tauter handling and much better road feel, the looks itself is also much nicer. I think this is mandatory after you've already spent so much on an E90 i.e. why not go all the way in exploiting its sporty nature and reap the benefits of a car that can "handle" or "live-up" to such expectations. The E90 chassis was made for sports suspension and tyres to perform at high levels, not just a shopping cart that takes you from A to B.

Try Stuggart... they have it and is cheaper than getting it from AB

I'd go with the Style 197, 162s on an E90 is too common...but I may be biased

 

[armi]

197s are nice too. Very sporty. Maybe a good idea to have a rim exchange program

Juan/Armi,

Since we are all in Hartamas, perhaps we could have our own mini TT of e90 with 162s, e92 (cun!) and 330, e46 or course...

197?

is this 197? nice.. i think i like this one better..

 

[KL2DC]

Guru, yes ... and best of all they're essentially honest-to-goodness BBS wheels, OEM equipment. They look better in person, sort of a mix between BBS CH and CSL rims.

since there's a few guys here in hartamas, maybe meet up each other during lunch time or what... I'm new to BMW with few thousand question to ask, eh... better dun mention too much if not no one wanted to tea with me...

 

[Juan Powerblow]

I think that's a good idea tho I'm terribly guilty of being quite disorganised in terms of knowing what time I can be available. But, I certainly hope when one's organised, I can make it! Perhaps it's time to resurrect HH @ Souled Out.

hi guys i bought the radical 216 rims on the 320SI and wonder if i could up the size... it currently running on 18" 40, 225 and 18" 35, 255.... i would like to change to 18" 40, 235 and 18" 35, 265... i am jus wondering if this is possible... will it actually affect the handling of the car
