Before I went with 21's I did some research. What's interesting is I found more guys with M5's rolling on 21's than the 5 series guys! First thing I notices was I don't feel like I'm driving on a bag of rocks! Those runflats I'm guessing has some pretty hard or reinforced sidewalls so not a whole lot if give there when going over bumps or tracks with a loud thunk! Now the car rides super smooth! Over the same bumps and tracks It feels like it's got some cushion going over those...yes on 21's! so as far as comfort 100%! Now for handling maybe different for everybody because of the size tire you're running. For me cause I have a bigger contact to the road 255's in the front and 295's in the back the car pretty much sticks! I can take freeway off ramps rated at 50 MPH to 65 without the tires squealing! There's part of the 360 entrance ramp with posted speed of 35 and the car can hit it around 45-50 without breaking the backend. I am learning how to park all over again because the wheels poke!

Congrats on your new wheels. The finish turned out very nice l think. It's hard to judge the fitment before the drop, so l'm looking forward to seeing it slammed.

@[lsturbointeg] (In reference to the pictures of your integra) I can really appreciate the work you put into your car and the journey it has taken throughout the years. I am glad my first "love affair" with cars started with a BMW but I've been feeling a strong urge to get into something JDM as of late. Whenever I see a clean EG hatch, S2K, s15 or teggy roll by I feel as if Im missing out on something. There is more to the car world than all things BMW and I want to immerse myself into as many niches of car culture that I possibly can. I believe that is what makes the difference between a "brand" enthusiast and a "car" enthusiast. I always admire those who have a BMW and a nice JDM car as they are some of the most tolerant and well rounded people out there. In closing, I guess what Im trying to say is (1) Im feeling emotional today and (2) if your car disappears I might have something to do with it

It's funny how I got into cars as I was always a Band Geek in high school. Never interested in Auto shop or nothing. But it wasn't until back in 91 when I was recommended to go to a shop to get my windows tinted called Solar Eclipse in National City in San Diego. I just wanted darker windows that's all. As I'm sitting there on the curb waiting for my car to be done this group of cars...probably 15 deep roll in with loud exhaust and slammed to the ground. I was like wtf is this? I thought it was the coolest thing ever! Street racing all underground. It was a new culture to me as back than it was low riding and rocking the deep dish wheels and neon lights. Remember, this was way way before the FnF era. There was no market for car specifics. Everything had to be modified to work. Cut springs and universal intakes and exhausts. Anyways, from that point is where my journey began! Tricking out my Geo Storm Lol and than I finally got my hands on a brand new Acura Integra. My love for the car scene grew and grew as I went from underground street racing to competing in car shows all over Cali. Never looked back! But as time went on I felt it was time for change and move up to lifted trucks where i ended up Buying a Toyota Tundra where i immediately did everything possible from suspension work to a full on audio system. Than decided it was time for change again so started looking at luxury/sporty cars
like a BMW, Lexus or Audi. And 24 years later here I am. I'm not sure if I'll ever get back into the import scene unless I pickup a Nissan Skyline GTR or my next love 4 door Porcshe!
