Hi

Looking for some winter wheels, and wonder what 1M's would look like on an EBII?

Anyone able to photoshop these wheels onto this car? Thanks!!!



Wheels


Closer angle?

I don't know the M1 at all, but if those are 19" M3 wheels, I don't believe they will fit a F30.

Keep in mind winter is pothole season, so for any 19" (regardless of perceptions about wheel size and traction) you're losing the one key benefit of a smaller diameter winter tire which is more sidewall.

I'm not sure if the offset/width of the 1 series rims will work on the F30 either, I'm sure a quick google check would let you know.

You can buy those as a ZCP Replica Rim (ZCP's are what they are called on the M3) which will fit (OEM ZCP will NOT). Reps are called BM160's. These are the same style rim I bought for my winter setup.

8.5" F x 19" x ET+35, 9.5"R x 19" x ET+38. Wrapped in Blizzack LM-60s.

Here are my pics... Will be trying them on my car this weekend, I'll take some pics of them on the car and share.

I actually like the ones in the first picture better for this car anyway.
Dont get me wrong, they are very nice rims, I just think the ones it came with look alot better for the f30 model.

You guys do realize that this is for a WINTER setup. Most people have 17" black steelies... and people are like "Mehhh" for this setup???? lol My Goddd!

Well ... I own both sets of rims ... and actually think the ZCP rep's look better. I'm going to try them on this weekend, and may make this my summer setup and use the OEMs for Winter.

Ummmmm..... actually I do. Perhaps you missed my entire signature below????????

And I'm responding because you shared your view on my rims ... guess I'm allowed to share my view on yours? Seems like a fair reason, no?

Here's my car BTW....

Sorry dude but the stock 19s look a lot better. I don't care if the new rims you trying to put on for winter will look better or even be better. I would just stay with the stock and just change the tires to all season tiers or winter tiers and change them in summer.

Sorry guys, excuse my ignorance, loving the wheel tyre options but I thought by going for winter tyres meant usually opting for a smaller wheel diameter and width. What's the point of changing 19"s for 19"s??

Not even getting into this. Tons of threads that speak to this ... and there are so many "perspectives". DOn't feel like getting into a debate on this.

Changing rubber on rim back and forth several times (i.e. 4-5 years) is really bad for the tire and leads to leaks. This isn't generally recommended.

Looks good. Would look nicer if u can fit those ZCP ones. But then again tht would require lots of fender work.
