QUOTE(6UE5T @ Oct 29 2015, 11:01 PM) For your BMW use more high end rims like Rays la. Well, yeah, lol but I'm sticking to OEM rims. Would have bought the M-Performance 20 inch rims if it weren't for their weird offsets and width lol.20x8 front and 20x8.5 rear. What the hell is BMW thinking lol, 8.5 width for a 20 inch!? |

Should get 18' but much lighter one, like 7.5-8kg forged rims, then the car can be even more lively. 19' for 5 series while 20' is for 7 series size car or a big SUV only. |

I don't know man, gotta wonder why BMW just makes 20" OEM wheels for the F30.» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « 19" looks alright to me. This is from the F20, 19" 624M. |

They want to sell so they follow what people seem to want, and people seem to want bigger and bigger rims so they just follow. Doesn't matter if it's actually too big or not comfortable or make the car slower or what, as long as they can sell then that's the first priority. Same like Mazda 6 2.5ltr that comes std with 19' rims even though it actually makes the car slower and harsher! Even worse, it might make the car handle worse also in the corners!» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « 19" looks alright to me. This is from the F20, 19" 624M. |

True lol, it seems to me like the 19" is the "new" 18" standard nowaday.There are many people that say 18 incher on a compact sedan is small LOL! |

For me, unless you got north of 500HP and need big size multi pot calipers and big tires to handle such power, then absolutely no need to go bigger than 18' even though the car is the size of a 7 series!There are many people that say 18 incher on a compact sedan is small LOL! |

Agreed. But the bling factor prevails lol. Not everyone can utilize the horses all the time but everyone can look at their car and go "damn that looks hot!" Haha |

QUOTE(leehernandez @ Nov 1 2015, 11:16 AM) Thanks for the reply. However will the stock absorbers wear out faster given the heaviness, width of the new rims/tyres? Is there any pointers when I visit the local tyre shop so that I don't get throat slashed. |

Just make sure the new rims and tyre gives you the same diameter as the 16". Make sure the offset and width is suitable for your car so it doesn't cause fender rubbing and/or hitting your suspension. |
