My Ride: 2002 Silver 330xi
OEM 17" or ASA AR1 18"

I have a dilemma. I recently shredded a tire on my '02 330xi and have had to throw on the old OEM Style 79 wheels with 205/50 17. The wheels I had been using were ASA AR1 with 225/40 18. I need opinions.

Should I replace the tires on the Style 79's and go back to the stock look or should I replace the tires on the ASAs and remount those? Price is not a factor. I"m just looking for someone to tip my hand one way or the other. Thanks for the help. Troll Away!




*Note, not my car, just using the image.

Of those choices, ASAs. That said there are definitely some OE wheels that look better than either choice if you want to switch it up.
