Anyone have pics of a 18inch wheels on a 6er?

I have some 18inch winter wheels from my previous car that I will fit my f13 650i.
I'm wondering if anyone has any pics of any 18inch wheels mounted on a 6er.

I mounted 18 inch MPARS right after this past Xmas...see below. You can also pull up the 18 inch f06/f12/f13 wheels in the part database or bmw wheel sites...then google that bmw wheel style to quickly find examples mounted.

Car, wheels, & tires are dirty.

MPars Wheel specs are:
  • front - 8"x18" w/13mm offset
  • rear - 9.5"x18" w/25mm offset

Michelin X-Ice xi3 tire specs are:
  • 245/45/18 (front)
  • 255/45/18 (rear)



EDIT: here's some pics doing a google search of some of the 18" f06/f12/f13 BMW wheel styles:

BMW Wheel Style 237



BMW Wheel Style 281

They doesn't look as horrendous as I thought it would look. Having said that, it's what I think the new 8 looks like on its 20inch wheels. Can't help but look at the 8 and think the wheels look it of proportion to the size of the car (as in too small).

Yah I agree, they don't look horrible but definitely not my preferred look.

Same here. I was trying to get away with it in Vancouver but it decided to snow and keep on snowing for the next couple days.

...the 18 inchers may not be all that "purty"...but I do gotta say that they're a bit more comfortable than the 20" summers (which are way more "dazzling'" to the peepers). And road imperfections aren't as scary when they creep up on ya real fast and you can't avoid them...and you don't get the loud "BANG" from the suspension making you think you've blown a tire or busted a wheel.
