vmr v701 bronze burst wheel size questions.

hey guys i have a 328i e90 and i fell in love with the VMR V701 wheels in bronze burst and debating on what size. either wanna get 19" or 18" not sure which ones. i want a nice ride but i don't blow through tires in under a year either
was looking at 19x9.5 rear and 19x8.5 in the front with Michelin super sport pilots.
anyone got any opinions or personal experience they'd like to throw in.
let me know an send some pics if yall got em
thanks guys

The ride quality between 18s and 19s is fairly similar. With either choice you have to watch out for major potholes.

If you need anymore help or a Quote shoot me a PM

If your area has poorly kept roads, 18s are probably better for you, but many prefer the look of 19s over 18s. Ultimately though it's up to you. Great choice in regard to the finish as well. Just be sure to clean them regularly with soap and water, and you'll enjoy them.

Personally, I prefer the functionality of square fitments, but I would say the majority of BMW owners I've talked to and sold wheels to prefer staggered wheels and tires.

It doesn't matter if they are staggered or not. And if your roads are in good condition I wouldn't worry about your wheels or tires.
