Got 20" Breyton GTS and awaiting BMW black grills, carbon rear spoiler and optional tail lights. Debating if I want to lower the car with RD sports springs.

Very tasteful choice of rims. I wanna get the Breyton GTP 19", got a quote from Shxng Txk at Tai Hang for$3,650 per wheels. Do you think this is fair? What kind of tires you have?

Just wondering if you are getting your grills, spoiler and tail lights from Gxrman at Hung Hum?

That's about the average price for the rims.
I am running Bridgestone S001 F245/R275.

I ordered my grill, spoiler and tail lights directly from BMW.

I swap my ugly wheels for Breyton 20" GTS Matt black. They look stunning.

Looking forward to getting my car. I'm not such a "mod" type of person. Likely looking for 19" OEM rims.

19 OEM might as well be after market as OEM aren't cheap at all. Specially if you order from BMW.

chiver · 08-24-2010, 05:10 AM

Any pics of your car? I actually have not personally seen a f10 with anything other than the standard 17" or 18" rims on the street. How was the ride with the RF tires?

I am on a biz trip in china now, I will post pics as soon as I get back.
Regarding the RTF, sorry I can't be of any help, I took them off the min I picked up my car.

juztinl · 08-24-2010, 06:06 AM

i want the oem 19' as well. trying to find a deal outside instead of buying them from the dealer. we might as well do a group buy here. lol

chiver · 08-24-2010, 08:59 PM

kfiend. Thanks and have a good trip
juztinl Happy to participate if we can get a good deal outside the dealer. Do you know any shops selling OEM rims?

juztinl · 08-24-2010, 09:21 PM

a few fellow members on here recommended me a shop in wan chai. i am going to check out the prices at lunch today.

akhter · 08-24-2010, 11:00 PM

I'll be happy to participate on oem 19" too if there is a deal. maybe we can get a group by

my car doesn't come for a few more months.

juztinl · 08-24-2010, 11:21 PM

let me check them out during lunch. i will ask if we can get a better deal if we have 3-5 orders in total.

akhter · 08-25-2010, 12:22 AM

i would also want to trade in my new 17" 327+RFT wheels

juztinl · 08-25-2010, 01:16 AM

talked to the shop. i asked the guy to quote 331, 356 and 312 with non run flat tires and trade in our 17' oem for me. the guy said he will check and get back to me soon. let you guys know asap =)

chiver · 08-25-2010, 01:29 AM

Thanks very much for investigating! If you go for the non RF tires, is there room in the trunk for a spare?

juztinl · 08-25-2010, 01:40 AM

well. you can always put one in your trunk but you can't put much else in it afterward. but i think run flats are not worth it esp in HK. they are a lot more expensive and don't ride as well as non-runflats. more importantly, in hk, you can just call your garage or other roadside assistances and they will arrive within half an hour max.
that's just me though. haha. i will ask them how much extra for runflats when they call me back.

f10 doesn't have any space for spare tyre. if you go non-RFT, then you will have to carry a mobility kit.

akhter · 08-25-2010, 01:47 AM

chiver & juztinl which model wheels do you have right now?

chiver · 08-25-2010, 01:49 AM

On my old e60 I got rid of the RFT but that car has a space in the truck for a spare. Never used it though.Yeh I guess a mobility kit is a good option!
