    Wheel options for 2010 328i sedan

    Looking at purchasing a 2010 328i sedan RWD. It has stock 16" wheels. Looking at changing to an 18" or 19" wheel. What rim size will work for this? (Stock suspension, just want to give a slightly more "muscular" look!) Thinking of something like this look:

    Remember as the size increases the height of the side wall decreases meaning more chance for bent rims and harder ride. Also you want hub centric rims, which a lot of aftermarket rims use plastic centering rings to make up the difference because the aftermarket rim hole size is made to fit may cars. As a tech I know commented once after fitting aftermarket rims and battling a annoy slight wheel balance problem, the car his e30 only was totally smooth with stock rims

    Thanks for the advise! Are there certain brands of wheel that would be hub centric for BMW? I am aware of the decreased sidewall height factor, but really like the look of the larger rim diameter on these cars!

    Wheel options for 2010 328i sedan

    Rotiform KPS R139 is what I replaced OEM with and offset works great to allow for 275’s in rear. I went with 10” R and 8.5” F and 19”.
    Also, make sure you throw away the run-flats, and get a quality tire with conventional side wall.

    Here is specs, if interested. Only downside it’s tough to find a quality bmw wheel cap at Rotiform DIA, as I order some quality stickers from Turkey I think and worked great for 2 years, and bought extra but will likely never be needed as these are 2-3mm thick and very durable in like plastic/rubber clear finished with OEM look. these installed on Rotiform cap and ordered in custom size to match, and you would not see difference over OEM in my opinion... and pretty picky with things like this.
