21" Wheels - How many have them

How many members are sporting 21's on their F10's? How do you like the ride? I know it looks sick though but how's the ride? If you have msport specify it also.

I've had both 20" and 21" and honestly they both ride the same and yes to Msport.

Loving my 21's.

I was a bit more relaxed with 20's but they both just need a bit more care.

Have 21" with HR springs and wouldn't change a thing. Not only looks so much better but also rides extremely well for a more aggressive setup. My wife couldn't tell a discernible difference from stock, and she is in the car quite often. You won't be disappointed.

And if Lacster says your good then you're good. I think everyone would agree that he's the resident expert on the forum.

This is good to hear; been toying with it. Q was also convincing me to go 21. I'm about to order my wheels; might have to rethink the size now! The roads here aren't bad; as long as I stay away from DC and NY! LOL

21" is the norm for the best fitment on the F10 chassis, couple it with some nice lowering springs and it looks money. 22 inch is too big and 20 inch is a tad too small.

21 are a good fit. I personally wouldn't go with 20's. I have 21's and love it

Modified Rennen R8 concave wheels with the BC Forged TA04 face. They are custom designing it for me.

Garage List
Are there any decent 21" wheels that don't cost 4-5k a set w/o tires?


Seems like most wheels are either 20" or 22", not a whole lot of companies doing the 21", at least not in my budget.

I think for anything under 3-4K in 21's, you are getting garbage.

20" doesnt fill out the wheel well imo...21" is perfect with either H&R or coils

I dont feel my wheels are garbage. I get lots of compliments
and they look great on the car. I also didnt have to put myself
out to get the set either. I go through rims rather quickly so
I didnt want to spend an arm and a leg for something I would
get rid of shortly.
