Melbourne red 18's or 19's

GS997S · 01-18-2009, 02:57 PM

I would get the 19s. Those 18s look like something you would put on your car for winter use.

is it possible to ask a dealer to switch the rims of a car with the 19's on em and put it on the car you want? im sure it would cost a little extra but ive heard the cars must stay the same as configured originally? True or false?

No, the dealer cannot take 19s off a car that came with them and switch to a car with 18s.

do you know what is the reason behind that?

Save your money and get the 18s. So you can get aftermarket 19s!!!!

Yes, they can put the 19s on for you from the parts department, but they won't take 19s off a car that came with them and give to you in exchange for 18s off another car. The window sticker that comes on the car with the 19s specifies that the car has the 19s. All dealers I have dealt with will not delete any equipment that is shown on the window sticker.

19's!!!!

mkoesel · 01-19-2009, 10:41 AM

For the E90, I would go with the 18s. If it were E92 or E93, I like the 19s better with Melbourne.

I am debating switching to 19s next year, myself.

Another vote for the 18's. Add 20% window tint and it gives the car a stealthy look.

How about 20"
