You can get them if i recall i seen a company called euro wheel off ebay. Its listed under a 3 series.

Speaking of 3 series wheels, I have a coworker who may be looking to sell his 3-series sport type 197 wheels off of his 328xi. I've heard the fit should be no problem on a 2010 535xi, can anyone confirm this? I really like the look of the 197s.

Corey, I think Russian is saying the car will look too 'Monster-truck-esque' with the 19"s with no drop.

I mentioned before on my old benz, (stock 16's) I put 18's on them so 2 more inches from stock and it did look monster trucky..

Actually here's a pic..


Then I dropped it to 17's.. (I hated these replica rims.. the finish chipped of so much, glad they are gone)

Wouldn't 18's or 19's have the same outside rolling diameter, since the profile of the tire would have to go lower as the wheels go larger? Guess I'm not understanding the monster truck reference if the outside diameter would be roughly the same (ie - approx same gap between top of wheel and the fender edge).

Same diameter you're right, I don't know if I can explain it, but with the rims being another inch bigger, and up from the ground it makes the car look higher. It's a perspective thing, you'd have to see one in person I think...

These aren't too bad, they would look pretty nice against my black car, what does everyone think. The offset is +38 will that work for the XI?
