Default 332ti w/type 162 from my e90 330i

I have seen a few cars here with e36 M3 wheels or type 68M wheels, and I really liked the look. BMW has some not so nice OEM wheels, but the majority are pretty darn cool looking.

I was attempting to do some spacer measurements on the e90 with the wheels I had mounted on the 'ti. Meanwhile, I thought.. Hmmm, maybe I'll see what the style 162s will look like on the 'ti. They are 18x8 with 225/40/18 up front, and 18x8.5 with 255/35/18 in the back.

I REALLY like it! what do you guys think?

They're ok. The spokes are alittle too curvy.
They work for the front of the car, but the hatch's rear "straight-down" profile doesn't match with the rear wheels.

Here's the wheels on the e90, plus my "normal" track wheels on the e36.

E90 look so not sporty (not the rims). I mean ive seen pics of e90 sedans on tracks, they look so out of place and ugly. The rims would look better if they were smaller.

I hate 'em. Not the car just the rims. Too big and too bling for a Ti.

Yikes, I guess I'll keep them on the e90 then. They do look a bit big, but they are 18's, and I think I've seen a few of those on cars here. Maybe hold off on e90 pics too. I like the e90, and it's a great daily driver. Then again, I like iDrive. Kinda shows my taste.

jess, hope you're joking about that. I'm pretty far from that status. Be nice to be there, but I'm not.

I think they would look really good if they were 17's. 18's are just too big.

larryn - I think they look great.

I did something similar a couple weeks ago, I swapped the DS-2s off my m3 with the MM 11-2 I had on my 318ti. I really like the way the DS-2s look and it's cool to have 2 cars that you can change the look on so easily.

I think the E90 is just too much silver on the E36, the Track wheels look nice though, it gives it a nice contrast

They just seem too big for the ti. As wasa said, 17s would be better I think. Those 162's are the best looking E90 wheels (on an E90) though. The plain 325/328 wheels make the car look so boring.
