New shoes for wife's car

BMW Rolls · 08-19-2014, 08:33 PM

After looking at a number of alternatives, went with Renn Motorsport RS-51 (19 x 8.5 & 19.9.5) & Continental ExtremeContact DWS (245/40 & 285/35) from Sonic Tuning who I met at The Bimmerfest a few weeks ago.

These wheels are strong, light and I think they look great. Together with these new tires it rides and drives like a new car. Huge step up from the stock 237s and 245s squared Conti run flats.

Sonic Tuning did a great job and have really good prices. I will be going back for other wheels and tires in the future, might even go with a JB4 and watch the install so I can quickly remove and install myself if needed.

Looks pretty good for 19s. I think the thin spoke design makes the wheels look bigger.

Looks good. Good style of wheel since you only went 19". Good choice

Thanks guys, with the drop it sits pretty good and there isn't too much of a gap.

Very nice 19".

Do you know the offset?

Looks good! I'm sure the wife would appreciate the JB4 too haha

JB4 would be a great add, she would actually appreciate the extra boost.
