Pics of my car with her new shoes

They were taken with my iPhone, so the quality is not that good, but you will get the point.

19" VM V715's wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza RFT's. Just installed last Friday.

There will be more pics that were taken with a real camera to come.

Enjoy...

Very Nice, Why the decision to stick with the Run flats? They seem to be pretty universally despised? Just curious.

Looks very Good BTW, nice looking wheel.

Thank you...

The reason that I went with the RFT's is because of the fact that we do not have a spare tire and that scares the crap out of me. I had my last car for two and a half years, and in that time I had 9 (That's right, I said 9) flat tires. Only one of those times was because the tired got punctured. The other times was because the tire "fell off the bead".

I know that the RFT's will not help with a tire falling off the bead, but it just makes me feel better.

WOW 9 times? Yeah sounds like RFTs are the answer, reminds me though I need to get my mobility kit ordered... Car look sick BTW...

Looks nice. Need a drop now. Since your car is black, it's not as noticeable.

Actually, the RFTs probably will help resist bead separation. Take a look at the DVD that comes with the "Thank You" gift box from BMW. There's video of a deliberately induced blowout on a 5-series; first with standard tires, then with RFTs.

BTW, very nice rims.

"Thank you" gift box? BMW must not love me; I received nothing. Have others received this? How long after taking delivery?

The wheels really do look good on your car!

We sold these out quick style, once they came in stock.
