Hi all,

I'm new to this site. Just picked up my M235 the other day. In love with it!

Only problem I have is I'm not a fan of the wheels on it. I have looked around and I think a set of the current M4 style rims in a Saturn black would look perfect.

Only issue is I don't know what size I can fit on the car nor where I could source them. Anyone know of any good places that have replica wheels in Melbourne? Or even a website they would recommend?

I'm thinking 19's would look best but how wide could I go without any rubbing and not a huge loss of ride quality?

Sorry if this has been covered before. I tried searching in other threads but everyone kept talking about spacers and camber and whatnot. I'm not hugely technical with that stuff and I would prefer an easy on off fitment.

Thanks!

I like using Tirerack to see what wheels fit the car and how it looks
http://www.tirerack.com/content/tire.../homepage.html

Personally if you aren't lowering the car then go 19" but if you are lowering then 18" are ok.

I personally have CH-R as i like the classic look and it suits the car.

Thanks guys.

Any idea if 19" rims 8.5 front and 9.5 rear will fit ok?

Found a set I like but I don't know if they will fit ok?

VMR wheels look decent

Depends on the offset... you can make 9.5" rear fit,

I personally think the F22 is better suited to 8 or 8.5" fronts and 9" rear.

But there are people getting by with 9.5" rears and offset of around low 40s IIRC

Hi Guys .Afer looking many places I have invested in 3 piece custom made SIMMONS wheels for my M235i from" Tempe Tyres NSW"

[apm235]

hey mate....can you post a pic of that? A friend of mine actually was telling me to look at a set of Simmons a little while back...would love to see how it looks.

+1 for Tirerack in the US. They will ship to Aus too and good website. Auto Technik in Botany I think supply Enkei, for same price or cheaper than you can get them in the US.

I wouldn't buy cheap imitation / knock off wheels for your Beemer.

Any idea if the new M2 wheels will fit on the 235? Exactly what I have been wanting this whole time!

Not a chance. M2 guards are much wider.
