It is really a night and day difference. The pictures with the 16s and 18s together really shows. I actually bought these rims off a member on this forum with a great price.

I think 189's on an E90 look great!

You're rims look great but there is one problem. They may have Nate's special sauce on them. Did you clean them thoroughly before you mounted them?
