M 373 20" What do you think

bimmer man · 03-07-2012, 03:16 PM

Here are some pictures of my 535d xDrive with summer tires, what do you think?

Alan l. · 03-07-2012, 03:24 PM

wow that looks awesome!

Not sure if I want the 303M or these now...

What size are your tires?

Alan

EdM5 · 03-07-2012, 03:32 PM

Sweet!
This 535d rocks but I'd prefer the shadow line trim.

eldo33 · 03-07-2012, 05:55 PM

wow...that's sick. it's exactly how I want my car to look when I purchase one soon.

remmib · 03-07-2012, 06:23 PM

Looks great, I think those are the nicest oem 20" wheels for the F10.

JSCO · 03-07-2012, 08:31 PM

enzeru · 03-07-2012, 08:47 PM

Hey Alan, the tires are DUNLOP SP SPORT MAXX GT 245/35/20 "front and 275/30/20" rear.

PeterF11 · 03-08-2012, 02:05 AM

Wow, stunning rims. I love the 6 series rims although I finally decided to settle for 1 inch less because of my kids in the backseat ;-) Enjoy your beauty!

XDEEDUBBX · 03-08-2012, 02:33 AM

love it!

cidair · 03-08-2012, 03:41 AM

I like the wheels. They look powerful.

Alan l. · 03-08-2012, 05:51 AM

How much did the ride quality change going from the winter to summer wheels?

They are harder to drive on, but when I speed over 60 kph, the comfortable, my car has dynamic drive suspension. so there is no discomfort.

I ordered wheels at my local BMW dealer. the price is expensive in Norway about 60 000 Nok. full price, I got 25% discount on this.

$10,000 you paid for those wheels.

Personally I am not a fan. Those wheels look flat instead of concave like most BMW wheels including the 303M, 343M and 351M.

Also they are very heavy - about 35 lbs each. That is a lot of unsprung weight you are adding.

I would have bought the M5 wheels at 24lbs each which also have a nicer more concave design. There are German exporters who will sell those for about $4000. Not sure if you have to pay import duty to Norway.

Yes M5 wheels are fine. but can not be used for xDrive vehicles due to tire size said my dealer. and M5 wheels are even more expensive than the M373. It is expensive in Norway. a land of super-high fees for cars.

Yes I am astonished by Norwegian prices. I travel there a lot. Somebody tod me that my car specs out to about $250k in Norway. It's just crazy. Government is running a lucrative protection racket.

Really, really nice! In Italy we say those wheels are like cheese on maccheroni, that means PERFECT. Keep them!
