You're only getting two? That's going to look kind of odd.

Do they actually make a 20" RF tire for the 335i? If so, why would you want them. Go with non Rfs.

20"inch Breyton will bend very easy in bad jersey roads. try something else.

the breytons i got would bend if you looked at them funny. seriously, my tire and wheel guy said they must have used a contaminated/ inferior grade of metal to have the rim crack with very little bending... the force of the hit was light enough that the tires suffered no damage at all.....no bubbles, not even a mark on the sidewall internally or externally.

let me put it to you this way, they're gravity cast yet lighter than similar sized low/high pressure cast rims.

the cracks were catastrophic. even if i had had runflat tires on, i would not have been able to keep driving, the cracks ran about 1/3 the way around the barrel of the rims. its basically being held on by a tiny tab of metal that didnt completely crack.

Nooooooooo RFT's... You will regret it man. Bubble city. Plus you live in Jersey so your roads arent that much better than NY.
