    New wheels for 2007 335i

    Looking to buy some new 19" wheels for my 335i. Originally was thinking about BBS RG-GT, then I discovered the Dinans but I'm not sure they are worth all the $$$. Or how about KINESIS? Or...?

    Anybody have any good recomedations or input?

    I would go with 19" BBS LM's ...
    20" for bling...
    or maybe something witha a big lip like : HRE,DPE, Iforged wheels

    I also like the Hamman race wheels...

    Check e90post.com for pics....

    Thanks for the reply but believe it or not looks are not as much of a concern as performance i.e., width, weight and strength. So I’m only considering wheels that are all forged and less than 20lbs. I think I've decided against 2 and 3 piece wheels also.

    Well I guess KINESIS is out of the running with an average weight of 22lbs for a 19" wheel.

    Looks like HREs are all in the 22-25 lbs range also.

    If you're looking for performance over appearance, you should go for 18's; other than possibly a smaller sidewall tire resulting in less flex, I can see no performance advantages to running 19's.


    Also, I would look at the Volk Time TE37s or RE30s.

    Personally I really like the BBS LM's, they are expensive but they have a look like no other wheel.

    Whaaa? bf.c card revoked!

    Kidding.

    I have the 19" BBS CH's on my '93 540/6. Love them. Not forged, but no issues so far on our crappy so cal roads.

    I'd go for the Rg-Gt's.
