10.5 rear 305/30/20, going down to a 295/30/20. (Rubs, not lowered or rolled in the rear). |
Hows the ride? I am in the market for wheels but I was trying to stay away from 20s because I heard the ride is rough and I daily mine to top it off

The ride is rough because most people run a 25 series tire in the rear with 20s, I switched to a 30 series and it drastically improved ride quality. 18 and 19s will obviously ride better because you can run a taller tire but 20s aren't bad, this is the most comfortable car I've owned (previous 3 M cars), I dd it and travel frequently on the highway. |
If you do go 20s try getting a quality 20 though, it will save you weight, but the main thing is rigidity - if you don't go flow forged or forged monoblock and the roads are bad where you live you will bend them extremely quickly with a skinnier tire sidewall as well.

E63 Picture Thread
Ya damn those are the exact rims I want, but roads are so bad here I'm thinking max 19 maybe even just keep the 18s.
|
They make the V99 Axis in 19 now, but that is also my dilemma
|
i would go for them in a 19 !

^those are a super fresh wheel, but I'd prefer these:naughty:

P101 http://cdn.hrewheels.com.s3.amazonaw...b004a557d2.png Don't get me wrong id love those but the cost for something similar is unreasonable (yes quality is "so called" better). Also about 6 different companies make these exact "style" wheels. 20's with a 35 series tire up front and 30 rear keep ride quality great and protect the wheel pretty good. (For those asking about size) |
Here's my E63, at one of its favorite places. Wheels are Niche Targas in Anthracite. 19X8.5 and 9.5. 245's and 275's, respectively.

Why? Because they say HRE on them and cost 5 times more?

(For those asking about size) I think they all look great in this style, I myself would just prefer the HRE's.....I've not had as many as some around here :) but the 5 sets that I do have are built to last, lifetime structural guarantee and are light as a feather as far as wheels are concerned :) and if you can keep them clean, which I sort of can, they look beautiful:y thanx for posting

They're no doubt a P101 look a-like, and I would love to own a set one day, but as for now, being in college and not having that kind of cash to dump on just wheels, I'll take the Axis. The P101s are forged, lighter, better built, but just too expensive at the moment to justify :y
And I think the Axis look great also; it's just I know what I'm getting with HRE:naughty: |

How about weight and strength, especially the former, rotating AND unsprung weight has a HUGE impact on performance.
and they still are............so heavy.......in dust |
