New shoes yesterday

z4z4z4 · 11-03-2011, 12:58 PM

I made it 15 months getting some mileage out of the original RFTs on 17" 292s. Now I made the jump to Michelin Super Sports on 19" BBS.
I knew RFTs were heavy but I didn't expect the 17" OE setup to be 20lbs heavier overall than the new 19" package. About 6lbs per front lighter and over 4lbs per rear. Happy!

Looking good, hows the ride quality?

z4z4z4 · 11-03-2011, 09:05 PM

I had no idea how loud the RFTs were and how poor the car handled. I swear that even the bodily lean is reduced when making a residential 90 turn at 10 mph. ON ramps were amazing today! Now if I can just get the TPMS to reset. Living with Inactive alerts on dash. Sighhhhh. But I love the wheel/tire package.

Nice shoes! Be nice to take a full pic of your beauty to get the full effect.

Malfunction · 11-04-2011, 07:34 AM

Nice! Can you post a shot of the whole car?

Sorry I've taken so long to reply with some pics, but I was in Vegas since last Friday for my x9th birthday . My girlfriend gave me the Exotic Car racing- Ferrari experience, 5 laps at LVMS. But, Vegas got rained out on Friday so my Saturday class was overbooked with the Friday folk and I had to surrender my 458 Italia for the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 below.
Excuse the camera phone pics I just took today.

flpnout · 11-08-2011, 08:54 PM

Nice pics!! Funny, I was also in Vegas from 11/4 to 11/6. Stayed at The Palms. Partied at all the clubs at the Palms and Cosmopolitan.

Malfunction · 11-09-2011, 04:47 AM

Thanks for the pics. Which size spacer is mounted?

Happy b-day BTW.

I'm a big guy so it drops a little when I get in.....something like this video.

RE: Jbuck- "Which size spacer is mounted?" 5mm all corners.

I am particularly interested in your comments going from 292 with RFT to 19s with non-RFTs. I have the 292s now and plan to go for 19s in the future. Nice, nice wheels!

TWiley · 12-05-2013, 09:17 AM

What size tires did you go with?

BMWZ4RIDER · 12-05-2013, 04:12 PM
