Re: Rims mod (^^,) Yes.
Just a quick sharing session. Last two day my tyre got noise & I rush to TS Auto (Sembawang road). Ask them to check & WOW... a big tack, the Idrive didn't prompt me at all coz tire didn't run out of air. Well, TS Auto (Sembawang road) repaired for me & did the balancing for all tires.
At the end. I really peace in mind, the best thing is TS Auto (Sembawang road) didn't charge me at all coz they told I'm their customer & in additional, they gave me the 4 pieces of BMW rims cover coz I told them one of my rim cover loose already.
Yes... this is the services that we want which meant money can't buy !
Meantime, FYI, so far I'd changed to 19" rims & it didn't brush my tires at all.

Re: Rims mod (^^,) Yes.
Think of changing to a wider tire and rims coz original 205/50/17 appeared not so stable especially in wet condition.
Was advise by Ray to use Breytons staggered rims front 225/40/18 n rear 255/35/18 with non run flat.
But worry tat I will in deep trouble if tire puncture n staggered rims means can't rotate tire therefore running cost will be high.
Any bro here is still on run flat tire after change to 18" or 19" rims? Is it a good idea to change to staggered rims? Not intend to spend so much on rims therefore need advise and suggestion for some good n not so expensive rims n tire.

Re: Rims mod (^^,) Yes.
consider the big advantage of run flat tyres since you could drive to the nearest shop to change
Recently I had a flat tyre upon reaching my guest's hotel, drove from Orchard to Balestier and
change one tyre, and then proceed to dinner before driving my guest to the airport.
No a single bead of sweat.

Sg is too small to worry about non rft. The savings for non rft should b able to cover 2xtow trucks liao hehe. How often do we encounter a flat tyre if we check tire pressure regularly.
As for wet condition, narrower tires actually better when comparing to same type of tires. Wider tires are better in dry condition.

Re: Rims mod (^^,) Yes.
My wife was driving her 116 in a mscp wet flooring n the rear wheel skid when cornering. So intend to change to a wider tire size for safety reasons. The current 116 came with conti 205/50/17 tire n wonder whether is it a good tire to use?
I personally prefer a rft for lady driver to save up tire puncture problem. In addition, I am also worry that driving up north in non rft will be a problem.
Any bro here can suggest a good match of tire n rims for our 1er?

Re: Rims mod (^^,) Yes.
Car skid could be due to uneven wear of the tires. As i said, wider tires will skid more easily during wet condition.
Rft tires choices are quite limited. Ur stock tires should be s001 rft? Imo, pretty decent tires. Go to workshop and check on the tires. Can ask for pricing between rft vs non rft too. Difference in price can be $300-500
It is not necessary to change to bigger and wider tires and rims if it just for skidding.
