this is my first post here and i was wondering if anyone knows of a web site that sells engine performance parts for a 2003 325i bmw. And also if anyone knows where i could find a good deal on 19'' rims i would be very grateful. I like the AT Italia Inox rims on tirerack.com http://www.tirerack.com/upgrade_gar...toModel=325i+Sedan&autoYear=2003&autoModClar= (Scroll over 1)

and i was wondering if anyone knew where i could get rims that look like that but for a lot cheaper... i just can't see spending $359 per rim, and the fact i don't have $359 to spend [bigcry]

if anyone would help me out i would great appreciate it

ok thank you very much for the info.. when you say it is oversized will the tire rub and cause damage or will they just look funny that big?

The E46 is designd to hold 19 inch rims. Yes with oversized I mean it will look too much. And they will also add a lot of weight if they are not forged or Magnesium but you said you don't want to spend a lot. E46 looks great with 17 inch rims but 18's are perfect.

But its your choise and money. You do whatever you want. In your case definetly 18's.[thumb]

You don't like the AT Italia Flash?

With 19s, won't it rub? I think you might have to roll the fenders to fit 19s on a regular E46. The M3 has larger fenders than the regular 3s.

Of course you can fit 19 inch. There will be no rubbing. E36 will hold 19's without problems. If you are using wider rims than you would worry about rubbing but not the diameter.

If he now has 16 inch and 50 series tires, the diameter is going to be same for 19 inch with 30 series tires. Otherwise it will affect the odometer and speedometer. He should definetly go with 18's.
