looks....or function?....a 4200 pound car being pushed around a tight corner applies a high amount of pressure at the front wheel/tire bead. it is not unusual to to break that bead and lose air and ruin a tire and wheel in such a circumstance...looks or function?...


I'm planning to upgrade the stock wheels of my 97 740iL. I've been told that going with 19" 8.5 front and 19" 9.5 rear is the way to go. Do the 19s make a dramatic difference from the 18s? Are they too overwhelming?

Thanks for the info.
