Whats the difference between non-rft and rft?

All you need to know is RFTs are crap and you're better off without them!

The sidewalls of the RFT are so strong and thick that they will support the weight of the car even if you lose the air pressure inside of the tire.

In my case it's two split rims and one bubbled side wall.

One might argue that BMW is into sales of wheels rather than cars.

Basically a quick run through,

RFT's are reinforced so that if you do have a flat, the side walls are strong enough to support the vehicle without being filled with air long enough to get you to the next stop.
