Rim turned out fine but the tire took a beating. Gotta love run flats though! This was from two potholes on the highway directly in the driving line under an overpass in the shadows, by the time I saw them there was literally no where to go.

Ick...now this is making me rethink wanting 20" tires...maybe I'll go 19's. Idaho isn't known for the best roads.

Be careful in your homework when doing 19's
Very few vehicles come with 19" options, and as such the rubber is harder to find and rather expensive. In my experience 20" rubber is significantly cheaper then 19's

Thought some might want to see pics of my replica 20's with Continental DWS's.(and the before pic with 19's). This is on a 2012 50i. I am happy with them. Extended wheel arches were added at the same time as the wheels.

Do you have vibrations or shimmy at high or low speeds? Do you use centering rings?

Thanks

^ I thought you got rid of those for 214s Trainer?

Those OEMs stayed in 1 piece - right where there's support, luckily. I wonder what reps would do... anyone have actual experiences where a rep actually cracked pretty severely?

Actually, I never wanted the 214's. I wanted the M wheels and that guy wanted the 214's. So I was looking to swap my 336's for 214's so that the M guy would swap his for mine.. In the end it never happened.
