Hi,

Just deciding what alloys to get on my 120d. I have seen some of these:

Does anyone have any suggestions for rim size etc. I think 19"s are too big, will 18"s look too small?

Thanks

The larger wheels available from the factory are 18 inch so they don't look to small (for reference look on the photo on my profile).

Not sure how the car rides on 19s to be honest, as they are fairly hard on mine. I'm sure they will look fantastic though!

Nearly got the 123d as it has 200bhp vs 170bhp however being 23 this causes an issue when you drive upwards of 20,000 miles per year.

Your car looks great.

Thanks they should suit the car give it a big presence. I think 18"s are ample.

Very nice, I've got the 18 inch M double spokes on mine looks the biz, no need for bigger.

Definitely wouldn't go for 19's - a bit too much imo. I have 18" 206M's on my 120d and I'm more than happy with them.

I think 18's are just enough.. I have a set of 18" AC Schnitzer type iv reps on my 5door 1 series and I think it suits them smile
