A very good deal on a set of 19" ACS Type IV wheels is waiting for me, but I am not sure if I like the ACS or the BMW Type 135 more. The 18" BMW wheels costs a little bit more than the ACS wheels..........how's the ride quality for the 18" & the 19"?

I am not sure which tyres I should get too. Tried the Michelin Pilot Sport before, but it is too noisy, even on the E46. Had good experience with the Dunlop SP8000 during my E36 era, and not sure if they are still good nowadays. The shop recommends Goodyear F1 GS-D3, I don't have any experience with Goodyear.

What do you guys recommend? Road conditions in Hong Kong is quite good, hardly see any potholes.

Go with the 19 ACS they look better IMO and also why pay more for rims if no one knows you did?

Yup, genuine ACS Type IV wheels, with Goodyear F1 GS-D3, 245/35/19 all around.
I want to lower it, but I don't know which is good. Seems like most of our forum members suggest Eibach springs.
