That's why I can't justify changing my wheels. The 19's look great. Sporty yet classy.

My girlfriends father picked up a 2009 M3 Brochure from BMW, and there wasn't ONE picture of an E9x M3 with the 18s on the car....WHY? because they are gross...
and FWIW, I have the 18s (not 19s) for my winter/track use. I dread going to the track because I have to put those ugly wheels on.

Saw a Melbourne Red e93 at the dealer a while back that had the 18's on it and I thought that the car didn't look half as good as the e93 335i next to it with the stock 335i 19's.

I believe it's compulsory to play the Black eyed peas really loud from the stereo if the car is fitted with 20".
Can anyone confirm this? |

WOW!, i didn't think that this thread would turn out like this!...anyways, think of it like this!
When the E46 M3 came out, Remember the options? Ugly(hideousss!) 18's and then the optional 19's which looked superb. I bet if you were to look up on the E46 forums, you'll probably find a similar thread to this. But i am going to have to be biased and say the 19's have always looked better, but then again, when you have to consider track/winter usage, the 18's will work out better. I can almost guarantee, when the new M3 comes out some years from now, the same deal is going to happen. 18's will be hideous, and 19's will be hot! But can someone answer this question... Why are most of the IB M3's, especially sedans, come with 18's?...it seems like that to me.....

You know, while a bit of rivalry is always good fun, the only thing that matters is what "floats your boat." There is no such thing as "better" or "best."
I can't understand it, but some people actually put totally black wheels on their cars, in which case the design of the wheel is completely irrelevant.

I really like the finish up close especially on sunny days. Also I figured I might want to get a set of aftermarket 19's after the first set of tires are finished and use the 18's as winter/track wheels. So instead of carrying out this sensible plan I order a set of RAC's before I even pick up my car!

NB, I specced the entire M3 w/ zero input barring this wheel specification: I listen to her because she's clever and sees things I often miss. So, 19s it was. And I still like the 18s - and if you're tracking, then no debate. No 100% right answer except at extremes: reflect, see both, ideally on the colour you desire, then go w/ your gut. If I'd selected Space, no contest: have to be 18s. With Jerez, really happy w/ 19s.
