19's just don't "fit" aesthetically on an e36. 18's are perfect.

It should be perfectly predictable what my reply will be to most members on this forum.

Fikse's www.fikse.com pretty expensive though.

ok,,got another ?
what tire size should i be lookin into if i go with 18's
and what should i look into for 19's??

i think most the rims iv been lookin at are 8.5 inches wide
and from what i have learned on here the past couple days,,im gonna try and stick with a 8.5 inch wide rim ,,all around,

could someone give me an idea of what would and wouldnt fit on the car,,as far as tiresize
on both sets of rims
im prob gonna go for the 18's as long as i can find a set that are less then the stoch wheelweight,,which stock from the sedan im buying are those double spoke rims(i think they r 22 lbs or so)???if im wrong correct me

i know the rims im gonna go with will have a nice phat lip

thanks
