Any one moved to a smaller rim for the sake of comfort?

I would've thought that getting rid of a cash sink would be one of the best ways..

Its not as easy as dumping her at the side of the road I assume. There are costs involved with saying a friendly goodbye too right??

i've recently upgraded from 16" to 18" on RFTs..in terms of ride quality and handling, didn't find it harsh at all - very happy with it!!

285s on the back for traction and because the rear wheels are 10 inch wide

Hi xcuzme,

Now we're talking.

Was looking for 20's that were not "chrome" and in a staggered fitment to put on my car last November. Could not find anything decent in Australia that would fit an E92 . Was looking at Work SC1 or Work Gnossis. It worked out to be over $6K AUD for rims only. The guy I was dealing with was in the process of setting up a showroom in Sydney. May be a little cheaper now with our currency situation. Needed something to fill out the guards, especially in the rear. Ended up getting 19x9.5in M3 reps from **********s.

Please post up some pics when you get those puppies fitted.

Everyone has different tastes and requirements. Thats half the fun of playing with cars. Have a look at this aussie E92. Looks pretty "comfortable" to me on 20's.

i love that e92

my wheels should arrive next week hopefully.

and whoever said 285 hasnt been done, you need to read the american side of these forums more often.
