Nose to Nose, 5 Series MSports - 19" vs 18"
My business colleage and I recently purchased 2 520D MSports, both in Sophisto Grey - almost identical cars apart from the wheels. We need to settle a small debate: Are the 19" or 18" wheels more suited to the MSport?
Sorry about the quality of the photos, but they were taken during a quick stop in a local supermarket car park. Vote Now, the score starts at 1 each (Left 18" - 1, Right 19" - 1) - keep the score going please. |

19" look best......With potholes here in NYC the 18's are a winner....IMO
I have the 19's on mine. Luckily I have the tire insurance |

This nose-to-nose view is the only presentation that really shows a difference in my opinion - and it's not a major difference either. 18" looks good, 19 looks a bit better. Definately not worth the extra money nor deterioration in ride comfort in my opinion.

19", because 18" are just too small.
But the design of the 18" looks good.

I like the spoke design on the 18 but prefer the fewer spokes and diameter of the 19. If I could pick and choose, I would take the 19 with 5 spokes designed like the 18 has.
