BMW Wheels Vs Aftermarket Wheels[ 17 vote(s) ]
1.Spec up BMW Wheels 12 / 71%
2.18" Aftermarket Wheels 5 / 29%

I'm thinking of putting some 18" wheels on my 98 BMW 318ti Contour, and I'm tossing up between a set of BMW wheels (some nice m3 ones or something) or going full bling with a set of aftermarket 18"'s, not necessarily chrome though.
I'm not sure which way to go, but the BMW wheels are bloody expensive, so I want to make the right decision.

M3 wheels look awesome but i dunno if they would be worth the money when u could prob get a really nice aftermarket set for waaaay cheaper. How much do m3 wheels cost ? Shocked

depends, but I think they'll be around double the cost of a decent set of aftermarkets.

Quite possibly. Haven't looked too much into that.

That might be the best option, the best of both worlds then.



A bit OT, but do you have any pics of your car? Love to see it... Nothin' quite like a nice Beamer. Smile
