Rim size

[Mike2013]

Hello everyone,
This is my first post! Does anyone know what is the rim size from this link. I'm not sure if its 18" or 19".
I can't tell for sure. Both are 397 double-spoke rims.

I will be collecting my 316i next sat, and intend to change my wheels to this.
Many thanks.

Mike

If it was 19", I think FC question may follow

Re: Rim size

The color is ok ..... Will that color affect the FC ?

Re: Rim size

Looks like matt black, will increase fc due to higher drag coefficient caused by the paint surface

Keep waxing, better still apply a Teflon layer on the rims. May decrease Cd by 0.00001 and save $1 of petrol a year!

I made my order after watching these 2 videos..397 rims but 18". I posted my question assuming there is also 19" rim available n wondered if I made a mistake ordering the wrong sized rims.
Yes I did the google search.

Re: Rim size

You have to be more specific

Re: Rim size

Makes sense. Black absorbs heat and will cause an expansion causing an increase in rotational mass too.

Re: Rim size

I think 397 only comes in 18".
