Haha, you wish mlai.
Jxnco, please give us a review after you have done some mileage on your new wheels. You've been with your stock long enough to give us a review more justice. Hope I am not bias, I kept selling bros here to swap their springs and wheels.

Yup I will. My wife will be riding the first time this afternoon after I changed the springs and wheels. If she doesn't complain, that means the 20s with the non RFT's has the same comfort as the stock 17s with RFTs.
And then later going up the hill, I'll see if she tells me she wants to throw up. I also had a few of my friends over last week to test drive my car. I'll have them try it again this weekend to let me know what they think. |

No problem, if you come. Better yet try jxnco's 528 with ultra light 20" forged wheels, should be better than mine. Opss, sorry jxnco, if you let BMMW drives your baby.

Actually, I think the F14s are only around 1-2 lbs heavier then the morrs and the f14s barrel is thinner. So f14s are probably on par with the morrs in terms of weight.

Jxnco got the H&R too. Just like you and me.
Seems like you think the H&R is a bit low, really? You have scratching problem? Has yours settled? I wonder if you 535 will be lower than our 528 since your car is a touch heavier. The stance is alright for me, I even want a bit lower.

No scratches yet! Just getting use to the new look! Happy with the ride and performance. Maybe getting too much influence from reading these posts and think my 19" look kind of puny!

BTW, my wife never noticed the change from 17" RFT to 20" non RFT. Even the springs. H&R's are very soft and bouncy. Almost like stock but just lower. Didn't experience any scraping underneath even with 1.5" lower. The tire size for F10 is 1 size bigger to begin with vs the E60. So I guess even with 1.5" drop, it's just equivalent to 0.5" lower vs the E60? I'm comparing the F10 with smaller cars with stock springs and seems like the F10 with H&R is still slightly higher.

I drove a 535GT and I pushed it hard. Sure faster than the 528 but I like the noise of our NA engine better. The turbo engine is very subtle and smooth, may be too smooth to my taste. I know you are faithful to your rims, fixed your scratches yet?
