i think he wants 18s cuz of the potential sacrifice of ride quality. if i was you, i go with 20s and slam it . but if your concerned about quality of ride, go with OEM 19s (166s or 167s) pm quad_m for pricing.

LOL! I'd love to, but yes I'm going for 18's because of ride quality (do a lot of driving) and price. While the price difference between the 18's and 19's for wheels isn't that much, there is a bigger difference for tires. I don't want to spend more than $2000 for wheels/tires.

As far as the 166 goes, that was my original choice but I'd be easily pushing $3000 for them.

Unfortunately, web designers like me don't make that much money to spend on his BMW

Hey everyone,

Well finally here are pics of my new wheels. They are 18" staggered MRR GT1 silver with BF Goodrich GForce sport tires. Got them from Charles from WheelAutoHaus.com. Great guy! He gave me a great deal for wheel/tire package, I highly recomend him. Below are the pics.

I realize that these wheels are not as fancy or eye popping like some other members wheels, but they're a lot better than my 16" stock wheels and I'm very happy with them. They have turned a few heads, and just the other day a very hot blonde blew me a kiss and said, "Hey baby nice car" as she drove past me at an intersection
