Looks clean man!

e90Nate · 11-21-2012, 09:52 AM

very nice, i was considering these rims in 19s but 18s look really good! your making me reconsider and go 18" nice work!

Sean@PYSpeed.com · 11-21-2012, 11:05 AM

very clean!

chatch10 · 11-23-2012, 11:04 AM

Champ, sbc, Sean - Thanks guys!

Adi - These are the stock RFs. They are 225/40 and 255/35. To be honest, they are terrible. I'm am switching these out in the spring because the handling is really bad and I don't feel like the car is anywhere near its true potential with them on.

BigNate - The 18's do look great, but the only reason I bought these instead of 19's was so I didn't have to get new tires as well. If I had to do it over I would just spend the money and get 19's with a new set of tires. But if you do want these I might sell them to you since I am really contemplating getting 19's.

Any idea what these weight in 18"? I have seen 19" specs listed but never 18".

chatch10 · 12-13-2012, 10:23 PM

Sorry, I have no idea. I haven't seen any of that info anywhere either.

Amini77 · 12-13-2012, 10:32 PM

Wow that looks very clean!

Mardio · 12-13-2012, 11:00 PM

Really clean look.

chatch10 · 12-14-2012, 12:26 AM

Thanks guys! Tint, lowering perches, spacers, michelin pss, and possibly refinishing them gloss black for the spring. Let the modding bug begin!

Davin · 12-14-2012, 02:30 AM

iczz · 12-14-2012, 02:54 AM

Are you still contemplating moving up to the 19s? I'm not interested in purchasing, I'm just curious as I am undecided on 18s or 19s.

BTW, the 359s look GREAT on LBM!

Ivan@PYSpeed.com · 02-16-2013, 03:03 PM

m359 looks great on e90!!

chatch10 · 02-17-2013, 07:52 PM

Thanks for the interest, but I'm gonna keep the 18's and get some Michelin PSS. I would rather have the ride comfort than looks. I'll post some new pics of the setup when I put then back on in a couple months.

bimmergrl86 · 02-19-2013, 08:52 AM

The wheels definitely do look clean. I'm planning to get some 18" M359s as well.. and have the same tire issue (whether or not if it will stretch on my stock RFT's). The stretch on your tires isn't that bad by the way. I know RFT's are not the best.. and I was looking into getting 235/265 Michelin PSS as well

Very clean wheels though!!

chatch10 · 02-19-2013, 11:31 AM

Thanks bimmergrl86! I definitely don't regret buying them. And yes, the stretch is pretty minimal. I just can't drive with the RFT's anymore. The ride is too harsh.

Side question, how do you like the performance exhaust? I heard there is a drone. Can you confirm?

Olagüe · 02-19-2013, 12:15 PM

nice car!

I agree with the RFT's being a bit harsh.. but I guess if it's worth saving the money until I need to replace my RFT's ... then I'll stick with them and get the wheels for now

I love the PE! I've had it for almost a month now and no drone at all. I notice that it's a bit louder than when i first got it (I guess I've passed the break-in period). It definitely makes the car sound more alive now than before

chatch10 · 02-19-2013, 06:08 PM

Thanks Olague!

Sweet! I was on the fence about getting one, but I think that will be my next major mod! And maybe the performance suspension!
