Seeking used BMW 523i Rims & Tyres

F10 must be at least 20". Turbo has plenty of torque. Don't waste time with smaller rims. Form flow rims are as light and comfortable as 18" with run flats. FC should not be much difference.

Forge rims would be much lighter.

btw normal bro here change rim also still use run flat? but i was told run flat cost much more then non run flat. so if tyre puncture, call tow truck cost less then #100...more worth it right?

17in is too small for 5-er. 19 in is too expensive to replace tyres. In between 18 in. I just replaced mine today. Bridgestone 245/40 R18 RE050A Runflat. $1180 for two. I like the peace-of-mine of RF. Twice, when iDrive warned me of loss of pressure, I could continue with my appointments. Then go tyre shop a few hours later when I am free.

Hi Mervyn,

Form flow is hybrid of forge and cast iron rims. Lighter than normal cast iron rims but heavier than forge rims. Price is still much cheaper than forge and not much more than cast iron.

Run flats not required in singapore as we can call tow truck to come in less than 45 mins. Important only if u are in places like M'sia. They are also loud and hard. Not very comfy. 18" are ok but looks small in a F10. Stock 18" weigh similar to form flow rims.

Me first day collect car straightaway change to 20. Cos my friend who changed to 19 regretted and has to sell off his 19 and go for 20. I noticed the comfort of 20 inch still better than run flat 17. Runflat is like running on wooden wheels cowboy time.

Re: Seeking used BMW 523i Rims & Tyres

Thanks for the quality advice.

Still shopping around. At the end of the day, i am looking for rims that fit well to my vehicle outlook. Not going to be too extravangant on rims.

Thumbs Up

Bro, if budget is a factor... go for the used replica AC Type IV or replica Breyton GTS rims.. sure look good on the E60. 18" minimum.. or else, no use spending the money to change rims.. tyres not too expensive for 18" too.. abt $200++ per tyre new

Try not to go for used tyres, tyres are the one seperating the road and you, safety is a main concern. our E60 is a heavy car.. cheaper made tyres wear off faster, so u need to change more often..

Juz my 2 cents worth

Bro, I think good 18" tyres start at $300+

Last year I bought Bridgestone Re001 17" already $230+. just above average tyres

And prices keep going up.

That's why I stick with 18" for my new F10. You are right that tyres are very important, so I rather sacrifice on looks (actually 18" is still ok on the F10, but 17" is really too small), but I can change new tyres more often. 19" and bigger tyres are very expensive.

E60 / F10.. U need min 18" for looks n handling.. hahaha... all sums up to personal preference..

Me on 19" staggered PS3 tyres.. tyres more exp than the rims

Re: Seeking used BMW 523i Rims & Tyres

Go Top93, Mr Yang should have a set of 17" for you. I traded in mine for a set of 19" and he was still saying that my RFT are still pretty new.
