Winter rims for imperial blue F30?

Spectra81 · 11-01-2013, 01:09 PM

Hi, I'm having trouble deciding which rims to get for my winter setup. I have an imperial blue F30 with 397 rims on and I think they look great.

17" or 18", are there any significant differences between 225/45 or 225/50 in terms of handling? If not, I'll probably go with 18".

Black rims would be nice but maybe that would be too dark for imperial blue?

Edit: Went with the one below

Any thoughts on what would look best on my car? Thanks in advance!

I am getting mine installed Wednesday. I picked the Rial one that you have pictured. I went with the 225/50/17 set up. They are the same diameter, but have a more narrow profile. That way, plowing through the snow is not so difficult as it would be with a wider tire. If you can wait that long, I will post some pictures of them installed. The only difference is that mine is Mineral Gray, but you will get the idea of what they look like in real life.

Thanks for the replies. I decided to go with 17" Dezent TB with 225/50 Michelin X-Ice XI3, hopefully it will look and drive fine!
