[MRacer77]

Oh... thought it was AXXIS.... But anyway, the rims that u have will serve the purpose that u wanted your M3 to do right?

Awesome...

 

[MRacer77]

what purpose is that?

 

[Azrielsc]

what purpose is that?

Lightweight rims for faster acceleration, blah blah blah!

All the rims that we talked about are kinda heavy, except for the BBS RG-GT...

 

[MRacer77]

Oh... if thats what you meant then yes. Trying to reduce the unsprung weight of the car. handles much better and positively now. feel is slightly better as well.

 

[Azrielsc]

Bro, but your suspension a bit high right? haven't settled down yet har?

 

[MRacer77]

Actually I do not want to slam the car to the ground. Right now I think it rides fine and I prefer to have a little clearance so that I don't bottom the car out flying over every undulation in the road.

 

[Azrielsc]

Well, its refreshing to see someone who do not feel the need to slam the car like the rest of us!

Wah lau eh.. I need to ground clearance lah... after the Silvia, not more slamming the car to the ground... too inconvenient....

 

[Azrielsc]

What other chio rims would u consider?

 

[MRacer77]

ERmm... Kenesis rims are really nice and light... HREs but they are heavy... Fiske also not bad...

Radenergie R10

How about these? According to the supplier, the 8.5x19 fronts are 20.3lbs & 10x19 rears are 21lbs.

 

[Azrielsc]

6SpdMan, those are awesome jaw-dropping chio rims!! Wonder can squeeze into a normal 3-er...

Radenergie R10 for e46

Apparently, the R10's are available for regular (ie non-M) e46 in 8.5 & 10x19 setup.
How about these wheels on an e60? Torn between these wheels and the new M5 wheel, not yet released though.

 

[MRacer77]

Very nice rims... but I am not someone who likes the bolts on the rim. would like prefer if they had a plain one.

Well, a non-M can use all 4 19x8.5s cuz the 19x10s will mean that even 265s' side walls may not match well with the rim. May need 275s to go with it... (Just a thought cuz with my 19x9.5, my 255s don't cover them well enough.)

The M5 rims would be nice but the price will turn u off, imo. Asked about M3 rims and PML quoted a mind-boggling $5k for them! I'll rather get aftermarket ones!
