Looking for New Rims

m3_tristan · 02-10-2016, 10:58 AM

Hi guys,
I have a 2012 BMW X1 28i and I have been loving it! Just recently I have been looking for new rims to freshen up my look.

I got my eyes on these. I am wanting to run a more aggressive set up so what offsets do you guys recommend?
Please let me know it will be greatly appreciated

m3_tristan · 02-10-2016, 11:58 AM

Those ones or these ones

help me decide!

If I'm not mistaken our stock rims are +35 offset.

Both are nice rims though!

Would I be able to push it to say +20 offset?

I prefer without bolts, so the Beyern Munich. Bonus, they have the 5 small holes that fit the alignment machine.

You would have to check if there is clearance. Though based on some YouTube videos it would be advisable not to change the offset unless you know what you're doing as it changes the suspension geometry and driving dynamics.

Look for a few videos by Engineering Explained channel on YouTube.

Stock 17x7.5 are ET34
Stock 18/19x8 are ET30
Stock 18/19x9 are ET41

For the OP get Beyern Munich - the little bolts on the Valencia look silly.

Im actually in love with these and I rather spend a bit more to get a good quality rim.
I'm thinking 19" or 20" but can't decide

I have these and I'm generally pretty happy with them. My only complaint is that the spokes bow out more than I like. They actually poke out maybe a mm or two past the edge of the rim. If I had to do it again, I might go with Apex wheels instead. So I'd definitely suggest you look at those before buying the Raijins.

(These are 18 BTW

NICE! Can I see a full side profile of the Raijins on the car if you have. These are the ones I'm leaning toward but I am wanting 19".
I went today to the shop and the guy told me these are similar but cheaper.

I rather spend the money and get a good rim. Any comments?

Here are a few more pics. The last is most recent, after removing roof rails:

Here is a link to Apex wheels. You really should take a look. They are similar to the Raijin style, but honestly I think the Apex have a nicer, more dish-like look. They're high-quality wheels, too. Like I said, I probably would go with these if I were to do it again.

I am really wanting to fill the wheel well, does anyone know any 20" rims?

My winter setup looks almost the same (Mine is ARA)

So I've been looking for 20" and I found these
http://www.nicheroadwheels.com/circuit-m110-w-8785.htm
I would be running 8.5 in the front and 10 in the back.
For the 20"x10" the offset is 40 would that be okay?

Probably not. You might rub. I have 19x10 in the rear on an et 34 and I'm pretty close to rubbing with factory springs. With a coil over I think It would work.

Ideally with a 10, you want to stay around 34-30 et, with a 20" diameter, unless you run a rubber band for a tire, it'll look kinda silly tucked in the wheel well. Lowering the car on 20's might be a chore with that offset for sure.

Shit so I'll have to buy 10mm spacers then

How wide are the wheels/tires? If you're staying in, say, the 225-245 range at stock height, then yes, you'll be fine.

It will increase scrub radius, but won't affect suspension geometry per-say.
