Finally got rid of my 16 inch wheels..

ducatiti · 05-12-2016, 10:22 PM

Managed to get a good deal on a new set of Style 416 wheels. Tried to sell them in multiple forums but had no luck, so I decided to use them for now. Used to be a Momo Quasar fan back in the day, but these are my new favorite wheels. I honestly think that they even look better on E90's than F30's

They look nicer than what I expected.

What tires are those?

kkasson · 05-12-2016, 11:14 PM

Looks good! I had (and preferred) 16s on my E46, but the E90 definitely needs 17 or 18s.

Needbmwpartzz · 05-13-2016, 05:05 PM

I love my 16s but me likey the looky

cdgatti · 05-13-2016, 07:45 PM

How's the ride quality going from the 16's to 18's? Any handling improvement?

dannyhavok · 05-13-2016, 08:00 PM

Looks sharp, any difference in acceleration from a stop or responsiveness? I like the look of bigger wheels but I don't want to sacrifice performance much

So far, I don't feel any difference. Overall diameter is pretty much the same but a little heavier than stock. I think the overall performance compared to the narrow stock tires are well worth it over the slight loss of acceleration, if any.

milbrae!

looks nice

Handling improvement when I went from 16 to 19 was noticeable but ride quality was another story

Installed 19's on my MK6 GTI lately and sold the set after a few months. Ride is too rough for me. Went back to stock 18's for a more comfortable ride.

Looks great though!

Love the look

What made you purchase those wheels? I've never seen them on E90's before.

Dark_Knight_335 · 05-15-2016, 09:43 PM

They're gonna be a bitch to clean, but nice upgrade.
