22" 215 Reps - Mounted w/ pics

Ok,

Finally had time to wash the X and take a better picture.

Initial thoughts?

Ride is much better than stock. I hate RFT's. My 06 330i and 08 535i both had them and it made the ride horrible. Going away from RFT's is so much better IMHO.

Steering has become much easier, less effort is needed to maneuver. Don't ask me if it has to do with the weights of the rims. I can comment on the weight of the OEM's with RFT's and they were damn heavy.

So my 215's wrapped in Falkens have made me happy so far. But I'm not quite done. 10mm spacers are in and I'm going to order the extended flares to finish her off. Might paint the door accent to match the body color.

The wheels were bought from the eBay vendor Detail King and they provided great service and I ordered them Friday and popped open the box Monday.

looks very nice what are the the width of those rims are they staggered fitment?

Square set up, width is 10.5.

After having 2 BMW's with staggered, I'm finally glad to be able to rotate tires.

Looks very good.. Rotating tires with a rearwheel drive is a pain. I had a square set up on my E60. I changed the rears with the fronts after 25.000 km's. The car drove like a wet mop afterwards. It had to do with the rear tires wich do not wear evenly across the thread.

I changed it back quickly and got new rear tires.

not bad, but with the spacing it leaves behind the spokes it's begging for a BBK or at least some color on the calipers. :D
