My wife hates may car. Help me pick rimsmy
What’s up folks!? Yeah so I’ve been asking my wife her opinion but she hates my car due to how the dealership handled a bad water pump/thermostat when I bought it. Was a headache to get them to fix. Sooo anyway. I need some advice. I’m having a hard time picking between v710 gunmetal or something else. Kind of looking to do 18” Any thoughts?
I’m including a pic of my car with my current stock 17” rims and my car with photoshop VMR v710 18” gunmetals added. Color won’t match due to different lighting but I think looks good. Thoughts? Now to learn more about figments… My car is a Titanium Silver e93 I took the photo below about 20-30 minutes after sunrise. |

what the **** has your wife’s opinion has to do with your choice of rims? if she has so: listen to your wife. if she hasn’t: do whatever you like…
apart from that: your bottom picture looks like your car is lowered while your top picture isn’t… so not an apples to apples comparison |

Nah yeah NM about the wife. Regarding your comment about the 2nd pic being lowered how low does that look? Since it was a photoshop I don’t know how big those rims even are. Coilovers are in the mix but my car is on stock suspension right now.
Know of anyone who bought 18”s, but wish they’d got 19”s? |

The roads are horrible in SoCal that's one reason not to go with 19" on the E90 chassis. I blew two tires from sidewall damage and bent two other rims because of pot holes. Even with no pot holes most roads are harsh for 19s. 18s are a little better depending on the tire.

Well. I'm in Boston, and progressives are siphoning our road money into worthless items as well.
I only run 18s in the winter. Otherwise, f it, i'm on 19s! |
