Hi guys,

i am looking for wheels for my black sapphire E90. I think I found my choice:

Please let me know what you think, if someone has pictures of these wheels on a E90, they are more than welcome! I would go with a 8x18 (225/40-18 ET 20) in the front and a 9x18 (255/40-18 ET 25) in the back. Will this work?

thanx
Peter

Ca va pas, non? Ces roues vont pas etre tres jolies sur l'E90. Il vaut mieux acheter les roues de style M5 ou CSL. J'ai attache quelques exemples pour toi...

thx a lot. Iw was indeed doubting about getting the MIRO typ 318 (M5 replica). On the other hand, everybody hass thos wheels, its not really original anymore :-)
I did a photoshop of the JZ wheels and it looked stunning altough...

did anyone actualy saw these wheels on an audi???? Easy to say that it will not look good when you never saw them... Looks stunning in photoshop.

I could be wrong, but your front offset seems to be to little which would cause the wheel to stick out from the fender.

And I think the rear would be tight...

IMO, if you have sport, 162" is already one of the best looking one. Otherwise, the 3rd rim from pictures above should be the one. Keep in my that: because the e90 brake rotors are large, you want the rims with open space so that you can show off the rotors.

Those are the 19's from an Audi A8 no way I would get them
