Upsizing from Stock Rims ..Need Help

e_arunsid · 06-26-2016, 12:51 PM

Trying to upgrade from my stock 17 inch 393 wheel and need help..

I am looking for only original BMW wheels (preferably 397 or even 19inch 437M) and have following questions

- DO i need to buy a separate TPMS also ? Cant i use the same TPMS as that of my 17inch wheels

- Is 437M a feasible option for a base 328i car ? Are there any additional setup required

- Does moving to regular tyres from Runflats improve the ride quality , Does it affect my 4 year warranty as well

- How reliable are sites like http://www.wheelsandcaps.com/ and http://www.autorimshop.com/

1. You can transfer over the tpm's from the 17's to the new wheels, that is what I did.
2. The 437m wheels have been transferred over to the 328i, however they were reps, so different sizes.
3. Switching tires to non runflats will change the ride quality and make it smoother imo. However I'm unsure about the warranty, you could ask the dealer.
4. Unsure of how reliable those sites are. Maybe try OEM concepts.
