18 or 19 inch BBS CH?

cralmandi · 07-11-2006, 10:33 PM

I've been driving myself crazy looking for some rims. I like the BBS CH and was thinking of getting some winter tires for my 162's and either put my OEM RFT's on some 18's for the summer, or ditch them all together and get some 19's with some Goodyear f1's. Any thoughts on either choice?

19"

graves4r6 · 07-11-2006, 11:08 PM

19" for sure with e46 M3 off set

19'' ! 18 is far too small ...

depending of the wheels 18 looks too small and 20 too big. 19 is also the best compromise ...

post some pics when you have them mounted ...

and1bball919 · 07-12-2006, 12:27 AM

18 just the right size for performance but if you just go for look then take the 19

19"

Go 19...not even a question.

Unless you're tracking your car I'd go for 18.

18"......

Bimmer325 · 07-12-2006, 03:06 AM

BBS CH is a multispoke design, 18" is not ideal as they appear too small.
19" is just right, and they look not too small and not too big.
i personally feel that the BBS CH 19" somehow looks like 18" b'coz of the complicated multispoke design...

But if you gonna get a plain 5 spoke like ACS Type IV, 18" will look ok as all spokes extended to reach the outer wheel ring IMO.

remmib · 07-12-2006, 04:59 AM

19" They got to be bigger then your summers

2_Swift · 07-12-2006, 07:52 PM

Go with 19"

NaTuReB0Y · 07-12-2006, 07:53 PM

20" is okay too.........if available

It's possible but they would have to be custom built by BBS witch + lots of $$$$$$$$$$$$.

Viral · 07-12-2006, 08:53 PM

19's..........I'm interested the same set-up. Perhaps we can get a deal if we order togther?

Where were you planning on getting them from?

BeeEmDubU · 07-12-2006, 09:54 PM

19s for sure man, you'll regret it if you get 18s

breakfast101 · 07-12-2006, 10:07 PM

19"......and you'll be happy.....

Good luck with that, BBS is now very strict with pricing, plus you need more then two people for a GB discount.

ska///235i · 07-12-2006, 10:46 PM

19s.....

2323 · 07-17-2006, 01:36 PM

I came accross these pics long time ago (sometimes last year). Don't remember where I got them. The 1st pic shows the 18" & 19" alternatingly. The rest is 19" (8.5 x 9.5) CH with lowered sus. Great wheels indeed

. I almost bought these wheels.

Asiann · 07-17-2006, 01:45 PM

Not much difference between 18 or 19 rims. Personal choice.
