M3 E92 competition wheels VS 18" wheels

MPowerrE92 · 05-10-2012, 08:56 PM

Besides the size and looks can anyone take about the advantages/disadvantages between the two rims?

Tire sizes different?

I just went from the 19" comp wheel to 18" 219's and the car rides and handles much better with a little xtra side wall IMO

I thought the comp wheels were 18"?

Depends on what your purposes are. What are they?

MPowerrE92 · 05-13-2012, 10:18 PM

I want the bigger set of tires in the back I think 265/45

I think the Comp Wheels are wider than the OEM 18s and that means you can run a wider tire.

Comp wheels are 19"?? That's what I'm really confused about

Believe it or not I have run 8.5/9.5 wheels and then the ZCPs which are 9/10..on same tires..the ZCPs handle better..that .5 inch makes a difference

Yes they are 19x9 F and 19x10 R

And it looks a lot meaner from behind... The weird thing is the sales sticker on the '12 e92 I'm looking to buy says the wheels with the comp package are 18"
