Show me your aftermarket 18's!

I wanna get new wheels/tires for when my current tires need to be replaced. Since this is my commuter, I'd like to keep the stock size wheels/tires which are 245-45-18. I drive a non-msport 535d in Alpine White.

Almost everyone I see who puts aftermarket wheels on their f10, it's almost always 19's or 20's.

Those who have 18's - let me see 'em!

Wheels are 18" x 8" with 30mm offset and I have 245/45/18 Nokian winter tires on them. The wheels are made by WSP in Italy and are called Neptune GT, specifically made for BMW. Here is a link to the wheel on their website. They also have a wide variety of 18" wheels for BMW.

Good luck!

Indeed. I chose them for two reasons: easy to clean off the winter sludge that can accumulate, and they do look like not over-the-top OEM.

I just tried the same link and my browser just sits & spins too. Dang. I paid about 900 Euro for the four wheels and another 900 Euro for the four tires. These prices included the 21% TVA, and I purchased them from my local independent mechanic in Belgium where I lived at that time. I'd figure about $250 USD per wheel +/- but I don't know if they still make them or ship them to the USA.

I just re-attempted to access the WSP catalog again. Try this link. It brings me to their wheel configurator. I notice that this time the selection of Neptune GT wheels is limited, but I'm pretty sure that they do more than just one offset for each size of wheel, but it just does not show here.

I switched from a 20” to 18” bmw 350 style wheels and nv felt happier. The ride is so cushy & comfortable now.

Who said 18” looks small? Its perfect!

- the bumpiness is gone
- i dont have to avoid portholes or bad roads now
- very comfortable
- handling remains sharp

18x8 et30 245/45/18
18x9 et44 275/40/18
With 12mm spacers all around
Lowered with coilovers
Pirelli Cinturato p7 rft (wanted to go for non rfts but it came as a package)

Last picture with the 20” rims
