New rim age, again

Donbona · 10-11-2012, 03:38 AM

I finally got some wheels with the perfect fitment. I am not running any spacers. I ordered the front wheels with an 8.5j width and running 235/20/35, previously I had been running 255s but was getting severe rubbing when turning corners and a lot of tram lining. The rears are still 10.5j with 275/20/30 tyres.

The wheels are made by BC racing and are HB 29s with goss black lip and matte centres.
They weigh a lot less than my previous wheels and the paint job seems a lot better. And the best thing is that they don't cost a fortune!

It looks very nice!

THE TECH · 10-11-2012, 07:53 AM

Definitely a good look. How close is the front to rubbing?............Phil

No rubbing at all... the set up is perfect

wafik · 10-11-2012, 08:28 AM

Tazzz, they look awesome bro! Really like them! Hopefully they are still on the car when I see you next!

Donbona · 10-11-2012, 08:45 AM

another happy BC Wheels owner

the BC Wheels are the best i ever had on a car.

but why you dont go wider on the front wheel? i had 9.5" with ET20.

Yeah they are great

....

I was running that spec on my previous 20s and they rubbed way too much on the inner are when I turned the wheel.

positiveions · 10-11-2012, 09:34 AM

Matches well. Good looking.

ROB_S2K · 10-11-2012, 10:00 AM

Looks fantastic. Love it.

tbone28 · 10-11-2012, 10:06 AM

well done. i like

slicer · 10-11-2012, 10:18 AM

Looks aggressive! I would not be happy with the front tire size if it were me (too narrow and too small of a side-wall) but it looks good in pictures.

NoM3ForMe · 10-11-2012, 11:21 AM

I approve!!

Not that my approval matters

the infamous... · 10-11-2012, 11:34 AM

oh ya!! my fave sg e93 jus got even better, luv the wheels!

well played, sir

Sam@ModeCarbon · 10-11-2012, 11:35 AM

Looks incredible. Someone correct me if I am wrong, doesn't running 235 in the front and 275 in the rear throw off the offset? Doesn't this harm handling?

The wheels do compliment this car phenomenally though.

Kriston · 10-11-2012, 02:20 PM

This gets my stamp of approval, even though the wheels are black.

Kriston · 10-11-2012, 02:28 PM

need top down pics STAT!

BMW Fanatic · 10-11-2012, 02:30 PM

Damn the tires are so thin!! 235/20 is ridiculous. I have seen people with 255/30/20 up front, there's even one guy that is trying to get a 285/25/20 to fit in the front on a 10" rim. Looks good in pics though. Congrats.
