Upgraded my wheels and tires on 2015 E89 to Style 515s

rikwynnpa · 02-23-2017, 11:05 PM

After 1 season I was tired of the puny 17" wheels that came standard on my car. UPgraded this week to Style 515s in 18" with staggered Michelin Pilot Sport RFTs. Huge difference in the look and ride. Also wanted to brighten up the front bumper cover a bit without changing to an M Sport clip so I installed the platinum grilles and the platinum ring in the lower openings (from the sdrive 35 car). Between the wheels and the new trim the car now looks much better IMO.

do you have a before and after picture? i honestly can't see any in-your-face "oh yeah. that does look better"

Should have gone with Super Sports non-RFT instead. Also, replace your antenna with the sports version for an enhanced look as well.

I like the stubby antenna!

When I use my indoor car cover, it is easy to unscrew and just set it in the interior cubby near the shifter
