F01 Style 252 Wheels .. what you guys think?

HouseofPang · 10-17-2012, 07:37 PM

Debating if i like this or not.. what you guys think? It has ACS springs but I might raise it back up because wifey likes the OEM comfort more than current setup.

They look great!

LACSTER · 10-17-2012, 11:42 PM

Looks like a 7 now. I like it

Same wheels I have on my F10. They're brilliant and made a huge difference in the ride quality. Its much softer and more comfortable with the taller tries. Keep in mind those that these wheels are a staggered setup. They went on perfectly without issue. One thing I learned though, probably not the best wheels for track day. Tires this size are kind of pricey

I like!

Like! Now it's nice 7er

Excellent. How was the weight and body roll on track day? I'm curious as I've done a few in my M3 but not the big 5. I would imagine the tyres groan and howl under the weight on a slalom run or in the chicanes.

Nice TimeFor! Is yours lowered, and any issue with bottoming out or rubbing with the fronts? I got mine for a pretty good deal, $1500 with brand new tires.

Oh I think I noticed more lag on acceleration too, did you notice any?
