Arrow New to the forum need some help with mods!

Hey everyone! I've owned my 328xi for about a year now and I was looking for some wheels to get for it! As well as what size I should get them in. My price range is about $1000 (excluding tires), any help at all would be appreciated .

Oh and any mods that would make my car faster that you could recommend me that would be sweet to.

Thanks!

Trust me don't do engine mods cars a slow car. Just focus on wheels and keep up with maintenance for now. For 1k I mean 500-800 would be brand new tires itself. I would check craigslist for used setup or here at classifieds.

I got avant gardes for under $1000 from Sonic Tuning. As to what size its just a matter of what look you want. Also if you post this in the tire and wheels section someone should help you fairly quickly.

A lot of people on here like the VMR VB3 and VMR V710. Given that you have the xi suspension, I would only go 18'', 19'' will look bad on stock height. A set of 18'' VMR VB3/V710s can be had new for around $800. Great looking wheels.

Your question about wheels has many answers. In order to narrow down your selection, you will want to consider what you are looking for in a wheel. There are literally 1000's of different styles out there.

Do you want something light weight? Forged Monoblock?
Do you want a deep-dish look?
Concave look?
Aggressive fitment or standard fitment?
Color? etc etc..
Are you going to lower the car as well?

I'd suggest looking for 18 or 19" wheels with 8-9" wide in the front and 9-10" wide in the back. There are several threads on various forums with many pictures of E9x cars with wheels on them. Check out these threads for starters...

I won't be lowering the car! And I'll probably be looking for something 18, as for style I'm open to anything right now! Fitment is also still up in the air ,but these threads will definitely help thanks!
