Opinion from the Wheel Gurus

buckeyedoc · Mon, Jul-19-2010, 02:32:44 PM

Hi Guys,
Wondering if I could get your input on something.
Im getting a pretty sweet deal on a set of Black Momos (18 inchers).
Although this does mean I have drop from my 19 OEM, but I would do that in a heart beat (hate cleaning em) on my '05 E46 vert.

Wondering if you guys thing its worth it.

400 bucks for all 4. Ofcourse, Ill have to get new wheels.

Or is dropping to 18 not worth it?

Definitely a downgrade from the oe wheels. The stock 19s are nicer in every way. Take the $ you would be spending on those wheels and new tires, and put it into something else like suspension, exhaust etc.

Yes, that is a huge downgrade in quality and appearance. 19" OEM are one of the nicer wheels for this car. They look many, many times better than the Momos.

Going to 18s can be a great choice, if they're quality wheels, even quality reps like VMR.

I think Ill pass on the MOMOs then.

Don't need wheel gurus to answer that...I wouldn't pay a dollar for those wheels...they're hideous

Get some quality spacers and the oem 19s will look even better than they already do now
