Re: Why so many BMWs on Breytons?
Agreed and also, its a made-for-Bimmer rim aka something-you-wont-go-wrong-with rims ....
I would say its a combination of personal preference + affordability + wide acceptance mentality
BTW, Not to offend any one here but I personally like to steer clear of conti car with Jap / Taiwan rims combi.....:boxing:

Breyton is the cheapest Conti-brand wheel you can find? Some say Breyton authorised it to be made in China, hence so cheap. Got cert got papers.
Problem with volumn-based designs - they are seen everywhere. Modded but look like stock, cause so many cars on it. No longer individual.

Cheap and awful!
My less than one week old Breyton rim on rear left, catastrophically broke and split into 2 on Cameron Highlands old road. Nearly loss control of rear and went down the cliff. Wheel cracked and separated down the circumference literally into two rims held together only by tyre.

Re: Why so many BMWs on Breytons?
This happened in 2009, you are talking to a ghost.
It was just after a right bend, as I was straightening out the wheel, there was a loud bang. The car lurched and slipped off the road. Fortunately, there was a patch of loose rocks gravel on the side of the road (you can see in the picture) that caught the car and I could roll it into it and stop.
Got out of the car then I realised the gravity of the situation. One tire repair kit, no wheel left to repair. No spare tire. Called PML and they sent a flatbed to drag me out then send me to Ipoh. Waited 2 hours for the truck.
Reached Ipoh and they do not have any 19" wheels in the entire town to fit BMW. Furthermore, it was a saturday. Closest they have is 17" but it couldn't even clear the stock rear brakes. By evening, someone sent up a pair of 18" from a lorry scrap yard in the outskirts of KL. That managed to fit with a set of hard as rock rubbish tires. Paid and drove off slowly. Reached KL around midnight.
