Finally the new wheels are on

I've had these sit under my desk at work for ages while I deliberated over tyres, but they are finally on, along with some new Michelin Pilot Sport 4S in 265/30ZR19 and 235/35ZR19. I haven't had a chance to bed the tyres in, but already they seem to feel incredibly grippy.

Currently have a Bilstein B12 kit and TRW M3 front arms installed which has also helped the ride and handling. Right now I'm contemplating M3 front and rear swaybars which I can pick up for NZD400 plus fitting, but we will see as I have read mixed reviews. Running an MHD Stage 1 93 tune at the moment and loving that - but aside from maybe upgrading the intercooler and charge pipe I will probably leave it there engine-wise. Don't fancy having to replace the clutch!

You have nice colleagues, where I've worked wheels as stunning as that would be stolen

Interested to hear your views on the Michelins I'm getting some next few days for my M3.

I think people almost became blind to them, and they were tucked well under my desk!

Once they have a few miles on them I'll provide a bit of an update.

Ha ha thanks. I think they look nice and just seem to suit the car really well. It was only the wheels sans tyres under the desk, and when they're stood upright they don't take up too much space.

Those look fantastic - aggressive and classy

Just got an E91 and need to upgrade the wheels, these are going on the list!
