HELP! 18 Inch Aftermarket Wheels

NovaBimmer · 06-27-2006, 12:13 PM

I am trying to look for new wheels / tires for my non-sport 325.

Currently, the choices I am looking at are the ASA Ar-1s available from tirerack, the Miro m-6 replicas and the M3 Competition package replicas.

All will be using either a 35mm or 38mm offset, 225/40/18 tires and 8 inch width. I am shying away from using wheel spacers. Any pictures of these on a jet black e90?

I've been in the same boat as you for almost a year. All of the rims I like are 8" wide with a 38+ mm offset. I've seen some E90's driving around with tirerack rims (+38) and honestly they just don't look right. They sit too far under the fenders, especially the rears. If you do go with them, then at least get some 12mm spacers for the rears. Just my opinion, though...

Don't do 8" in the rear. It looks ugly. 8.5" with 20mm offset.

check out the ASA AR2 and also checkout Rial Nagaro...
