anyone changed their f10's wheels yet?

[alpina b5]

any of you guys know where one can get alpina rims?

 

[fastnfurious]

The F10 is still relatively new so not many rim shops carry its specs. Your best bet is Sunway & Lim Tayar @ TTDI

Xero200 do you have the contact details for these places?

 

[xero200]

Hey Fastnfurious,

I'm afraid I don't have the contacts, but nothing beats going to the exact place and checking out the rims in person.

2? ure awesome haha. yeap, well basically most people would buy a bmw or worse volkswagen anyday over a saab. sad we can no longer get a saab here anymore.

hahaha, ya but eventually bought a beemer and merc and then a beemer again will keep the 93 for sure. hope someday saab will re-enter the malaysian market.

Saw another f10 with 331rims... Nice!

Sorry la for being long winded ahhh

YES Ong the F10 looks great in the 19" 331 with mixed tyres, 275 wide for the rear. Makes the car look a bit more fierce in a subtle way directly from the back.The front sport seats are very supportive with thigh support, but only complain is no lumbar supports except for the 535i, come on la, even the C-class has 2 front seats with electric lumbar support u know. the 16 speaker professional sound system is amazing. Not to mention the Head Up Display with nav assist and rear view camera which is extremely useful. The 8 speed sports automatic transmission with Steptronic is just super smooth, and best part is that with this paddle shift, you can drop a gear or two at a flip of your fingertip with the shift paddles on the sports leather steering wheel,all while on auto mode, unlike the some other paddle shifts on other cars. And personally, its always nice to have the extra torque and horses....... and sweet revving sound of the 3 liter engine is never breathless.

I am really sorry to say but in my humble opinion, for whose of you guys out there still considering between the 523 and 528, just add little bit more for the so much more extras that will bring much more joy. That being said , I've also driven the 523 and it is really a superb car as well, a joy to drive Whatever it is...... be safe and patience on the road guys! F10 rules!

will attache a few pics once the "manage attachment matter's sorted"

The orginal rims and tyres trade in?

they took in trade in very cheap though.....about RM2400 or SGD1000. so still cheaper lah than kl, not too bad. plus always goto singapore anyway.

Just got my wheels and springs lowered with Eibach Pro Kit today. So far, the eibach springs did not really affect a huge drop in the car and I could still slot in 2 fingers between the tires and fender. In terms of handling, it definitely is much steadier and firmer. Will post some pics once I get the car washed!

 

[paultantk]

so eibach pro kit confirmed works with the adaptive dampers?

 

[xero200]

Hey Paul, my car's without the Adaptive Drive so it's all good! For those who want the drop being reasonable, eibach's a good option.

yeah, i think the style 331 wheel is very gorgeous looking, i have a chance to opt for the 19" 331 wheel as im buying directly from germany, however i think it would not be a good ride on my 523i as i heard 18'' wheel would be the max for the 523i... therefore i only opt to the style 328 18'' wheel for my 523i.. the car has not arrived yet, but hopefully it would look good.. ride good and most importantly not having much impact on the fuel consumption... i hope..!!

some pics here..

how do u buy directly from germany? is it a strenuous process?

Its because Im a EU resident... furthermore they are also giving me the hot climate version and the N52 engine for my F10..

Saw a black F10 last night around Ara Damansara, had G1M plates, shod with awesome 19/20'' rims! :love:

 

[burnin]

Does anyone know how the ride quality with the staggered 19 inch on F10s? As in with the front 9.5 inch rear width and 8.5 inch front width?

 

[leeman]

I'm rolling on 331s and the ride doesn't suffer too much compared to the 236. You feel more of the road surface imperfections of course but it never gets uncomfortable. Tyre roar, however, does go up by a good few notches. 275 is very wide for a 4-door saloon. I reckon it's a small price to pay for the awesome look.

Which 19" are you looking at? Wonder if the 351m is on the local market yet.

331s look good man and I agree the 19s make the car look that tad more aggressive! Are you running on runflats as well? Coz from what I read the 19 runflats really contribute to noise in the cabin! I just got me car about a month and a bit ago so still looking through what options I have for wheels. Was looking at the Breyton 19s but if I had a choice I would probably put a 20 on! But looking at the condition of the roads that we have here. I think it may only be a matter of time till the 20s get dented or something.

 

[paultantk]

tyre roar went up a few notches? damn, that's bad news... i already feel tyre roar is kinda loud.

 

[xero200]

I am on 20" Work Rims from Japan. They are lighter then the 19" 331 I had before, so far it's perfect! I also lowered the car with Eibach so the car handles pretty well. No issues with 140km on Kerinchi link turns. Who says you can't combine luxury with good performance?
