hey guys

I bought a silver 2001 330ci for my bday and i want rims NOW where can i find bmw rims from and what size would be best, the bigger the better?20s? As a female I really think the blk with the chrome rims would be soooo hottt any feedback!!!

try here (http://store.summitracing.com/egnsearch.asp?N=700+4294923107+4294907563+42949013 99+115+4294924653&rsview=sku)

wait...YOU bought it for YOUR birthday...that doesnt make sense. But anyway, any chick driving a bimmer is hot, especially if it's a manual. And I also love the black wheels with the chrome lips (esp with black cars). Try tirerack.com. You can actually see what they look like on your car. From an aesthetic viewpoint, yeah, bigger is better. But I would put a limit around 17-18. Anything bigger than that and you hinder performance. Also when buying bigger wheels, you need bigger brakes. It's not like your car wont stop but it will certainly take a lot longer and will benifit you if you like your new bimmer.

lol i told the guy that was wanting to find rims for his camaro in the thread below about tirerack forgot to mention it in here. it's definitely a good site to get a visual. but they are lacking some choices.

Maybe just black would look nice. BMW + Chrome just seems not right. I always think of BMW's and sportier. Post up some different pics and we can help you choose. Happy BDay btw.

Pick up a set of 18s, I think anything bigger on the 3 looks like too much. Try Schnitzers if you want something really cool.

Thanks guys im picking them out this weekend because i got into grad school therefore they are sort of a gift someone told me to buy regular rims and get bmw caps on them is that tacky????

a little tacky, and why do they have to be bmw, get any rim brand on a pair you like

tacky true so i picked some ROX rims they are what they call button rims are they hott

Oooooh, happy birthday and grats on the new car! Have you named him?

Post pics. :)

changing your wheel size from stock will effect your performance and mpg, i would not recomend it. going to a same diameter yet alluminum would get you both mpg and performance. course, you don't get the much desired bling bling effect :rolleyes:

aww... no i havent name him yet but he is truly my boyfriend :)
