Hi guys

So not that long ago i became a member of the BMW fraternity after years of Japanese ownership and picked myself a tidy E92 335D with a few AC Schnitzer bits.

But im just not getting on with the wheels, i really like the way they look but theyre 20" and profile 30 rubber and the roads up my way arent the best. So what id like to do is drop down to 19" and use the money from selling these wheels to cover the cost of the new ones. Id price them sensibly (they seem to be 1k up on ebay!) plus i have 5 wheels which is pretty rare! Anyway, im in a predicament as to what wheel to go for and am hoping people might have experience or even pictures they could share. Ive got a few ideas in mind:

Rota grid drift:

Which look pretty smart, i think black car with bronze wheels looks awesome too.

3DSM 0.01:

They look good but they look a bit 'optional extra' which isnt the look im going for. But they are BBS style which is always a good look on a BMW.

3DSM 0.06

The elephant in the room, i cant find a picture of these on an E92 but i think they might look pretty awesome.

Anyway, any thoughts and suggestions, good or bad or even some other suggestions for wheels that would look good im all ears.

Thanks

Ok, i have a fitment based question. Id like a bit more dish up front than the 19 x 8.5 et 35 flavour that these wheels come in. I was wondering if i could get away with 19 x 9.5 et33 on the front?

It seems the option for rear is 19 x 10 et32. Can i get away with this or do i need to start thinking about arch modifications? Id like to avoid that so would just go for the 8.5s if i had to.

Sorry, there might be fitment threads around, i iwll have to have a search aswell.
