In Reply to: Hamann HM2 18"or ACS type III 17"?more plz read! posted by WayShie on July 02, 2000 at 21:13:00:

: hi, thanks for anything who response to my poll as what size wheel should I put on my 323ci, you guys were very helpful, however, the situation I am facing right now is that I can get Hamann HM2 18" for around $70 cheaper than the ACS type III 17", therefore, I would want to get the Hamann HM2 if the 18 does not make the ride too harsh or degrade the performance alot. what do you guys think???

: if you guys can give me opinions of which one I should go for, please do, I am looking for answers to following questions:
: 1. eventhough the wheels might be cheaper, are the tires for 18" rims alot more expensive.
: 2. it was mentioned that 18" don't improve performance over 17", but would 18" be worse off than 17"?
: 3. wheel wise, is hamann alot worse than ACS??? do they weigh very different?
: 4. which one would you go for?
: 5. how is the ride of 18" with stock suspension?

:
: thanks for any input!!!
