18's or 19's with Run flats
Hi guys I just picked up an e90 and it has crappy 16" wheels with run flats. I am wondering if anyone can comment if they know what it is like to go from that to a set of 18 or 19's with or without run flats.
Will there be a noticeable difference? If I'm going to go to the larger wheel should I get non run flats? |

Don't get runflats. You would just be paying double for the misery of harsh ride.
Personally I prefer 17" or 18" non-runflats. With larger rims you are basically compromising ride quality and the potential for wheel damage just for the sake of looks. However if you live in a place with good roads then its not as much of an issue. |

Only reason I asked about the runflats is because I can get a set of 19's second hand with run flats on them for reasonably cheap.
I understand that they arent the best tyre, but going from run flats on 16's, to non-run flats on 18 or 19's will there be much difference? |

I understand as a contractor money might be a little tight so have a look on the second hand forums for some slightly used rubber |

Anyway, that last 50kms that RFT allow you to drive could be the difference between sleeping on the couch with the dog or getting home on time and making the wife happy. So to me RFT are very important |

Anyway, why are you worried. I have no chance against a big shot like you right? Tell her not to be shy, I am fluent with google translate so I will be able to understand her. |
