    POLL!! Thinking of swapping wheels...

    Alright folks... I'm thinking about swapping wheels... Why? I don't know.. I want something different. Part of me wants to step up to 19s... I still need to really decide if I want to do it, which is why I'm asking all of you. I'm only looking for your opinion on the LOOK. I know some will say don't go to 19s because the ride sucks... But, don't forget, my car sits in the garage half the year, and when it is driven, its done so on smooth, wide, flat roads... Florida is really easy on cars, so I'm not too concerned with the ride. Either way, the options are to either keep my current wheels, or step up to a set of 19" OEM Style 225 wheels (335i option Performance wheel or X1 M-sport wheel). Specs would be as follows... Pics included... So, post up and tell me what you like better...

    to be honest, i think the style 225's are absolutely gorgeous. i like them better than the M359's.... but 19s are huge and look a bit cartoonish on the E46 body. and how heavy are they?

    I love the 225's. Do it.

    Or

    How about some 19 inch 313's?

    Personally I like the wheels you have now. They compliment your car very well. But which ever wheel you choose, I will like either way

    Everyone please vote. It's a polling thread.

    I say go 225's. Why? If you're asking the question it means you're tired of the 359's (csl look).

    This will only get worse and more depressing with time.

    Depression causes tears.

    Tears cause..... Well... You get the point.

    I absolutely love the current wheels (and might be interested if you do settle for the 225s which I don't particularly care for.
