18's or 19's

lux good · 06-15-2009, 08:34 AM

I have just ordered my New Z4 in space grey and have gone for the 18'' multi spoke alloys....i'm now thinking i should change to the 19'' V spoke!!?? Dose anyone have any pics of a space grey with the 18'' multi spokes on, i can find pics of the 19's and they look great.
It will cost me an extra £465.00 but would it be worth it??

HHHHHEEEEEEELLLLPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!

I went with the 18's simply because replacement tires in 19's were $500 more.

I think the 18" multi-spokes look great - the initial pictures all had those wheels and they don't look small at all. One of the best standard(ish) wheels available I think.

I went with the 19's for looks and basically to fill the wheel arches! Initially I thought they provided quite a harsh ride and tended to crash into pot-holes. My previous car (325i coupe) had 18's and the ride felt much smoother. Now that I'm used to the 19's I'm happy with them.

You know you'll regret not getting the 19's later on, and £465 is not that much extra

Good luck in deciding! What other extras have you specified?

heated leather, blue tooth phone prep, USB audio interface,
anthracite roof lining, auto lights/wipers,
brushed aluminium trim, and 18'' multi spokes (may end up with 19'' V spokes!!!)

Go for the 19s.You wont regret it.I wish i had them from the order.

I will go for 18s. 18s tires cheaper and more comfortable ride than 19s. Use less
fuel than 19s (correct me if i'm wrong).

And it is better as well if you need winter tires.. (price, availability)..
