Rims for 2009 BMW 323i

can520 · 12-02-2008, 10:08 AM

Hey guys,
I just got my car a month back (2009 Apine White 323i - Canada only version) and I'm considering getting new rims since the stock rims aren't that great.

16" - Style 28 rims.

Any recommendations for what else I can put on there without having too much of an impact on the ride quality?

I don't want to change anything with the suspension. Any ideas would be appreciated! Thanks!

Prissy · 12-02-2008, 10:36 AM

basiclly anything larger than 16"

Boost Gomez · 12-02-2008, 11:02 AM

CSL wheels.

There's no sports suspension.. so what would be the ideal size to go with?

18's?

Thank you so much!

keep in mind most of the times when you buy cheap rims, they'll crack/bend more easily than a set of quality rims. You'll end up buying another set of rims to replace the damaged rims. Same with tires, get decent tires, don't cheap out. They could be the difference bewteen life/death.

What would you say is a decent amount of money to spend on rims and tires?

Deda · 12-02-2008, 03:52 PM

something bigger 18 or 19!

Deda · 12-02-2008, 03:52 PM

but not RFT!

david @ eas · 12-02-2008, 04:58 PM

On a E90 I would personally go with a set of V710s. You can check out our for sale thread here with 3 different colors to choose from and different fitments for your car for a great cost!

I would budget between $1500 and $1800 for a good set of reps and tires.

CirrusSR22 · 12-02-2008, 08:18 PM

I saw a lowered, black E90 the other day with CSL wheels.... Absolutely amazing looking!

in5ane_3 · 12-04-2008, 04:42 PM

Yup, I'd go with 19" wheels for an e90 definitely. If you want to spend $1200-$1800 I have the perfect set for you. Why not try Miro type 368 wheels. I have attached a picture below. Those with a black face and a polished lip would look amazing on your car.
