Those sizes were ordered by the dealer for me. So I am assuming they figured them in accordingly. I was going to go 245 on the front and 275 on the rear - but Im glad I didnt because I think these are perfect.

BTW - Yujini - I worship your car - you have exactly the look I want, which I have done a lot of my mods after. I printed off your car pics on my pillowcase so it is close to me every night.....lol -

In general, I find the stock sport suspension to be low enough but with the low profile of your tires it seems that a very slight drop may make a nice looking car even better.

In regards to the comments about your wheels looking disproportionately large, I think a lot of that has to do with the spokes of your wheels extending all the way to the edge of the wheel. I see a lot of people going for the whole deep dish look, which typically makes the wheels look about an inch smaller than its actual size. I have seen a few examples of E90's with 20 inch wheels (with very large lips), but very few complain about the size.

Keep up the good work.

I have the ZSP - sport suspension

Very well put - my opinion as well I like the open-ness to show off the rotor - if its done right. I know its not necessarily a classic BMW look but I think ACS tries to compliment the car when they design the wheels.

Im trying to find this exact figure out along with the weight - will post as soon as i can

I like the stance those wheels give your car not to mention the fender gap is at a tolerable level too

ET90 · 05-10-2006, 11:47 AM

Love the wheels seem to flow with the car, a drop would make for a more agressive stance with the wider rear tires.

wuufer001 · 06-05-2006, 04:04 AM

Drooling on my keyboard now SpanX. Been trying to look for those in black but not getting anywhere. They really looking fly. By the way is there a difference in the suspension and ride height between a E90 with and without Sport Pkg. Really like the clean 'rareness' look of the rims. Where can i find the ones in Magic Black?

SpanX · 06-05-2006, 10:18 AM

The sport Pkg makes does ride lower than normal - contact roveractive.net for any ACS wheels

ldpantoja · 06-05-2006, 10:33 AM

Your car looks really good with those rims!!!

Personally I like the Type IV Racing but those still look great!!!

I liked the racing as well but they didnt make them in a 19" for the E90 and i didnt want to push the 20" mark

But besides the size, I find them too "empty", they make the car look "naked".

I like much, much more your 161 17" rims or the 160. They are a lot more in proportion to the car.

if i get the ACS, i probably i go with 18" Type IV Mono. just perfect proportion?

FLIP954RR · 06-06-2006, 10:18 AM

nice wheels

MIKEYMIKE · 06-06-2006, 07:34 PM

Spanx,

I love the wheels, looks HOT. You gotta get the ACS kit to complete the look, and by coincidence we have a group buy in the market place forum...lol Come by and check it out.

climkt · 06-06-2006, 10:02 PM

have you seen the rims in black- called black magic. looked great in a silver e91 in a UK bmw mag/

danbao · 06-08-2006, 12:49 PM

so cool
how much?

ALPINE6SPD · 06-08-2006, 06:38 PM

CLEAN great choice

MeTaL · 08-09-2006, 05:02 PM

Sorry for bringing this thread back up but I have a question.

The rear wheels seem to have a dished kinda look...is this normal with all ACS Type IV wheels ? Because I don't really like that dished look actually. The front wheels look so much better.

RaptorKTM · 08-09-2006, 05:05 PM

damn those are hott, but also bank!!

It's true of the 9.5" x 19" wheels, but less so or not at all with the 18" wheels, the latter not available (at present) in a staggered configuration (by width, not offset). Look at some pictures of the 18" version and you'll see much less difference -- if any -- between the front and rear wheel profile.

For the record, I get the most positive comments on the rear wheel profile. I think they're most striking from the side, where the difference in profile isn't apparent. You might change your mind if you could see a mounted set in person and walk around them. I always thought they look a little wonky in pictures (mine are here), but I've never had that reaction looking at the real thing.
