Re: F10 Newbie wants to upgrade rims

if ride comfort is priority then stay stock.


I never say that the car will look like taxi from behind because the wheels are sunken in.
and the tyre equally thick like taxi.

btw, if you use the f10 as a veggie car, most probably the veggie wouldn't notice the rim size, or your mods, or your badge (516, 535 all same f10) . Jon say one.

Re: F10 Newbie wants to upgrade rims

I just changed from 17" to a set of used 20" forged wheels. The ride definately harsher and noisier now. Acceleration also affected quite a bit. Which tyres will give a more comfortable and quieter ride compare with Michelin PSS ? May be should change back to 17" if cannot tahan :shock:

17" is too small IMO. Like those body builders with big upper bodies but with chicken legs!

Maybe to go 19" with 35 profile tyres as a compromise between looks and comfort.
