Re: BMW 18" rims for E90

OEM BMW wheels will not flushed to the fender.
you would probably need a spacer to achieve that effect
Good looking 18 inch that fits PFL E90 would be Style 162 and M 193 type
LCI goes well with 189 Style

Other than that, aftermarket 18 inch are dime of dozens to choose from

Good luck and happy hunting

J is referring to the rim thickness, example 19x8.5J front and 19x9.5J rear flush nicely into your car.

Would anyone be able to advise where I could purchase 1 single OEM 18 rim from the 328 luxury? I scratched mine and pml quoted $1000 for one, I couldn't find any shop willing to sell 1 piece.

Why need to change, just get it fixed at Yew Lip (Sin Ming).
The last time I was there, they charges about $25/rim.

I had good experience with Yew Lip previously on a painted rim.

The OEM style 416 is polished though, thus could only be skim/ polish. The repaired rim looks OK, just that the lip is rounded & very shiny (the kerb rash was deep, thus need to skim off quite a fair bit).
