I think the style he picked has a "classy" type of look.. a departure from previous sporty wheels Jesal used to rock. Welcome to adulthood my friend. heh Anyways, once the coilovers come in they will look even better. I assume you'll get winter tires for the stockers?

I guess I'm more of a "sporty" guy then. But what do I know, I'm just a kid.

Yes, thats a pic of them on my car. It doesnt look that great without a drop so i may hold off before posting pictures.

I do like the wheels, which is a change from what im use to.

Main reason i wanted to do this right away is because people are getting good money for the stock runflat tires. So i figure i do it before putting too many miles on them.

What size are your DPEs? and how do they affect your ride quality?I've been torn for too long to put rims on my car as I'm very concerned with the ride quality.I had 19's on my previous 330ie46 and and I could feel any road imperfection.

The car is dirty and i havent had time all week to wash her. I will take more pictures this weekend.

ride quality isnt much worse than the stock runflats but im use to having 19s and like the ride. My wheels are 19x8.5 front and 19x10 in the rear. Rocking 245/35/19 and 275/30/19

I know, I know. Just saying that I really liked the stock wheels so I'm sad to see them go. Besides the 328/325. all stock Bimmer wheels are gorgeous.

What are you doing with them anyway, winters?

Stock wheels arent going anywhere, they will be used for winter wheels.

I actually might not lower it. I am kinda shocked how nicely it sits... the front is a tad high for me but not too bad.

No hurry for it.

I paid $600 for parts and labor to get my Cobra to sit like that....don't lower it! Besides, It would just give the dealer a reason to deny the warranty!

They wont deny the warranty over that. Never had an issue in the past and most of the cars were lowered.

Sits better on 19's than on 18's. Mine was way too high stock, here's a before/after.





Maybe get some coilovers and just lower it a bit in the front?

Excellent choice in car Jesal, but I am not feeling the rims (stocks look better in this case).

Net-net: I am helluva jealous

I think if you decide to lower the car or not, its going to look nice either way. It sits fine right now for most. It will look even nicer if you decide to lower
