Wheels for E38. Which ones are better.

[masu3701]

Hey guys, Am trying to decide on what wheel to get for my E38 750 facelift.

I have these 18" M parallels staggered on the picture below

and someone wants to trade with me with these rims on this picture. There are 19" by 9.5 and 10.5.

Anyone think that's a fair trade? Which wheels are better?

Personally I think the ones you have now are considerably better looking, so I would keep them. Just my 2 cents..

He gets your wheels AND tires and you get his as well? I wouldn't do it but I'm 70 and I like a little more sidewall on my tires.

Another vote to keep your 37's...
One more inch of rim is going to lower your ride quality by an exponential percentage...

Plus...the M pars look better on the E38 imho....

[clarkitect]

Mpars hands down.

[ancho]

Keep the Mpars. No question.

I like wheels on second picture, those are from F10 5-series and will probably need some spacers

This looks lil off but now sure if its the correct set up.
On the M parallels i have front 235/50/18 and rear 255/45/18

Somehow thw from looks bigger..

Is that the correct setup or the front should go on the rear?

Based on looks and the potential problems with spacers I would stick with what you have. If not make sure you run them on your car and you don't get a shimmy out of the deal.

that is what Bmw used on e38's,
stupid set up,
where front tires look ridiculously big and rear tires are way smaller than actually needed

Nothing beats M-Pars on a E38 Sport.
