Newbie question

[325CInewbie]

Hey guys~ This is my first time on this forum. Nice to see u all~!!
I'll be getting my first bimmer in 2 weeks!!!
It'll be 2004 325ci. ( Can't wait... )

I'm thinking of getting some aftermarket wheels for it.
I looked at those 18 inch Replica M3 wheels with low profile tires and they looks so nice..
I saw them on Ebay.com.

Now, here's my question. Would I lose a lot of riding comfort if I get the 18inch replica
wheels? Also, is there any good canadian website to get aftermarket wheels or spoilers
for my bimmer?

Thanks guys. I just can't wait to experience the "ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE"!!!

you'll lose some ride comfort and trade it in for better handling w/ the 18s due to the shorter but stiffer sidewall. your highway ride will also be louder, but that depends on what tires you get also..

your wait will be way worth it.. yer prolly getting all season tires right? i'd at least stick w/ them for the winter, then go out and get 18 inch summers. that'd be nice.

i'm sure mr e. will point it out soon, but you might have to upgrade your brakes to be able to handle the heavier 18 inchers, since i imaigine 330ci brakes are beefier than the 325s.. (i dun really know how how to figure that out tho..)
