Her new set of 215 style shoes...

I just got her a new set of 215 in 20" replica wheels in ferric grey. I thought I would share with you guys. It looks so much better and much more aggressive compared to my stock 18" wheels...extremely pleased with the upgrade. The next step is to get an extension arch flares...and I will order it from DrewX5 tomorrow. Here is the before and after pictures...

Outstanding! Where'd you get the wheels and tires? 285 front and 315 rear? TPMS's as well?

I used to have a stock 18" wheel with RFT, they are horrible, especially when you drive over the bump. I felt like my internal organs are about to jump out of my body ...I felt a big different on my new 20" stagger set-up as soon as I started to drive. The ride is much better and firmer compare to my old stock setup. One that I noticed was the acceleration from the stop and go seem to be a little slower may due to the weight of the wheels and tires.

My top speed on her new shoe so far was 100 mph on the freeway to test for any vibration on her new shoes. There was no traffic on early Saturday morning and so, I decided to give a test drive my new wheels and tires. For safety reason, I do not recommend anyone to drive at this high speed. The wheels and tires are firmer and the handling also improve greatly, imo. Those tires are awesome, they gripped and sticked to the road surface. I have a 275/40/20 for the front and 315/35/20 for the rear with the Vredestein tires.

I got them from this one place in Glendale, California. They have a nice selection of wheels from ordinary to extraodinary wheels. They carry alot of wheels for RR, BMW, Porche, Brabus and Mercedes. They are very knowledgeable and great customer service. It is called SpeedVision Motor Sport, contact # 818-547-0696 and ask for Alen.

It looks great! I have 19" sport package with RFT and thinknig about to make the change but I have 3rd row seat without spare tire. I was wondering if you have spare tire option? I guess the 20" tire you got has no RFT. What happen if you get flat tire on the road?

From 19's to 20's....why even bother? Do RFT's or carry a tire repair kit and also BMW roadside assistance got your back 24/7.
