What do you guys think of these wheels - Enkei Kojins
Aside from the oddity of having a Japanese wheel on a German car, they look pretty good to me. I really like the five spoke designs. They also take BMW center caps and have to be lighter than my OEM 293 style wheels.
http://enkei.com/shop/tuning/kojin/ Sizes are: 18 x 8.5 with 35mm offset front 18 x 9.5 with 45mm offset rear For tires, I was thinking Michelin PSSs in stock sizes. |

Nice looking wheel, the offsets are a little conservative, they will work, just that the wheels will be sitting further in the arches than the standard setup.

Hmm. They are a half inch wider in front and an inch wider in the rear than my factory wheels. When I plugged them into the wheel calculator, I got the same outer in front and the tiniest bump out in the rear. Maybe I have the wrong factory offsets for my wheels. I definitely don't want them riding any more inboard than they are now.

Thanks for the info. Just looking to get some new wheels that look better than what is on there and fit right. Not looking to push any fitment boundaries!

Great, thanks again. Based on this information and some of my own research, I have decided to go in a different direction. If it all works out, I will post some pictures of the new setup next week. :-)
