Titz looking, imo... :thumbup:
and, you'll like the 18s vs the "19s" you thought you had,
plowing through the drifts.

Hey, quit clowning around and check out the wheels on my ride! (Note I am not calling anyone any names.) :rofl: Had to get that in there...

Your car looks amazing. I can't tell you how much you've changed my view on 18's in black for a winter set-up. I was seriously concerned about going to 18's and was thinking I would have to cough up an additional $1000 to go with 19's, as the car was going to look to awkward with such small wheels and the theme of my car. However, now that I've seen your car, I'm sold. Man, Winter in the X might not be so bad afterall. Cheers King! :thumbup::D

Well it looks good from the side view but the wheels do look kind of puny from behind especially with the wider wheel arches. It does help if the car is lowered and if you plan on using spacers. I already had the 18's so I tried to make them work with the look. However if I was going out to buy a new set of winters, I would probably get a set of 19's. Granted your winters are short so you may be rolling on them for four months or so. But here, I may have to keep them on for five to six months! :( We've already had our first snowfall so I had to get these suckers on fast. I bet you can find a set of 19's on ebay that someone is selling. Everyone and their dog is buying the 3.0d, I'm sure some of these guys will be selling them and looking for 20's.

That is a great look!

King, are you from BC?

Was going to suggest the same thing. I may do it on my black type 68's on my 3 series

Wow, they look good!

Here's a chop of the wheels with a thicker red stripe on them. I think that they look Really Nice! I'll thin outthe stripes and post it later if you'd like!

Haha, I don't know if I would put a red stripe on those little 18" wheels. They're just my winter set. My 21's will be back on in spring! :thumbup:
