anyone changed their f10's wheels yet?

[pratt]

But comparatively roads in s'pore are so much better than in m'sia. Im running on 20s too and the ride compared to my previous 19s made a vast difference on m'sia trunk roads, even with adaptive drive in terms of comfort. But i totally agree, 20s are awesome in the looks department.

yeah.. i guess its the advantage of having the SE suspension instead of M suspension..

There is a guy in Sg selling his Vertini 20 with Goodyear tires for 3k SGD!

Just came back from Lim Tayar. Initially not going to buy anything as my car only 1 week old. Saw that they have the gorgeous 20" 356 selling for 16k rim only. Met the boss, he drives a 520d using 356 also. Informs me this is he's second set as he's previous set, someone saw and offered to buy it from him second hand, so he sold it and reinstall a new set 2 months ago. I then ask if he interested to sell as second hand again. In the end, we made a deal. 12k (second hand price) - 3k (trade in for my stock rim/tyre) and i paid 9k , complete rim & tyre. Maybe he install again 356 and you can go there 1-2 month later and ask him to sell as second hand again if anyone is interested.

Sorry for lousy pic

356 ROCKS!!!
What tyres are you on?
Noticed any changes? My set of Bridgestone s001 was quite noisy at first but seems to be settled in

The handling on wet is superb..

Nice rims. :top:

From the tyre thread patterns,they look like bridgestones?

Dunlop Sport Maxx. I notice an increase in noise . No feel of powerloss though

 

[ck318ci]

The diesel powered engine probably has much more torque to move off and having a wider traction will provide a much assuring drive.
The 523I petrol..I do feel a bit of power loss but only minimal. Slow/gradual pickup is as per normal but kickdown could be a little bit affected.
however, The car does handles better with better road feedback compare to the 17 and 18.

Sport Maxx is still the RF? How is the overall comfort?

 

[ck318ci]

I was advised that RF does not come in 20Inch or was it not advisable to take RF on 20S...

Sport Maxx not new model already.. I used this on my CI then... good tires!

I'm on 20s RFTs. But different W & H. Ride wise definitely incomparable to the non runflats. A tad noisier and 'harder' but still acceptable. Gonna change to non runflats Michelins once the thread wears out.

 

[Rubik]

my sport maxx are non-run flats

 

[serenum]

i am absolutely adore ur rims Rubik. looks nice !

Does changing from RFT to non-RFT affect the TPMS?

 

[Eclipse]

I am using 19" Michelin Pilot Sport 2 non-RFT 520d, nice handling especially on wet surface, but really noisy at first. Now after 5000km, sound softer.

 

[Rubik]

i was told ours don't use TPMS and the monitoring system is independant of the tire/rim so it don't matter if it is changed

Bro Eclipse & Rubik,

Do you guys keep spare tyre in the trunk?
