Re: Breyton GTS and Vertini Riviera-S

After months of deliberation, I decided on 20" Breyton Race GTS (graphite) and have not regretted it since. Weightwise, having run on other 20" rims prior to this, it was lighter than I expected and I now do more zoom-zoom.
As this is an official Breyton product with QC tests, this is good enough for me. The last time I checked the various forums, I did not note any QC issues.
Ray's is the best (read cheapest) place in Singapore as I compared around all the rims shops I could find the last six months. I am aware Raymond managed to get the best price in Singapore as he placed a significant order for this particular model in various sizes and colours. Make sure you get the Breyton valve caps.
Consider 20" and here is my post with pics:

Re: Breyton GTS and Vertini Riviera-S
Hi Jiunn Siong, nice rims and setup you have there!
Since yours is E92, so should be without spacers right? BTW "Race GTS" and "GTS" is the same thing right?
My main concern now is:
1) for Breyton: need to use spacer. Not so much concerned that they're from PRC
2) for Vertini: Don't know much about this brand, and so not sure of quality. But I like the deep dish look, and price cheaper by 1K+.
Alternatively get the OEM M5 rims, but it looks like every E60 has them! And I think they're heavy and overprice.

Re: Breyton GTS and Vertini Riviera-S
Yep my E92 no need for spacers.
I believe so long as you do not go over a certain size in spacers (20mm? 30mm? ask around), you should be fine.
What colour's your car? I've seen one E60 graphite running Race GTS 20" gunmetal lowered...hawt!

Re: Breyton GTS and Vertini Riviera-S
Sorry to OT abit.
Was told that the breyton gt rims for the e60 would come with spacers of 15mm, max 20mm. Would it be advisable to still use them?
What would be the worst case senario if i would to use the spacers. Pardon me for my noobness.
Thanks.

If black, then maybe silver rims may be best. Check out other posts on spacers. You should be fine so long as you get them from reputable manufacturers (Eibach, H&R) and do not get them too large. Good luck in your decision.

Re: Breyton GTS and Vertini Riviera-S
Good price after trading in my stock 16".
Only regret is that left front rim kenna scratch coz stopped too near curb & the spokes are abit "protruding" for Race GTS.
Went back to Ray-S for touch-up - quick and good job! Looks good now.
was initially concerned about Breyton made-in-china but since no need spacer (i dun like) so decided to go for it - no regret since.Jiunn Siong;429974 said:

Just in case I hit mine in the future!

Re: Breyton GTS and Vertini Riviera-S
Touch up back to Ray-S where I bought the rim.
10 minutes job and the touch up was excellent - cant tell difference unless u'r looking at it very closely.
They even clean my other 3 rims.
nominal fee lah - for the great service, i'll be paiseh if i don't pay anything.
I kenna 3 spokes & the edges on the left front.Jiunn Siong;430346 said:

Re: Breyton GTS and Vertini Riviera-S
That's gr8 service from Raymond. Your gashes mustn't have been too deep.
What's the colour of the actual rim material below? Didn't you need to get it painted? I ask this because I thought the gunmetal coloured rims were just painted on...I may be wrong...thanks.

Re: Breyton GTS and Vertini Riviera-S
So the black was probably the kerb.
Some small part difficult to grind so touch up with paint over - not obvious even on close look.
Am happy that it's looking good!
Thot it was something black. But when grinding it revealed the base to be silver!Jiunn Siong;430419 said:
