Damn those 19''...they look sooooo smart!!

I still don't know if i should stick with the 18'' multi spokes that i've ordered or change to the 19'' V spokes....has anyone driven on those 19'' for more than a week, and if so are they a bid hard for uk roads (full of potholes!!).
I would still like to see the multi spokes on a Space Grey Z4 if anyone has any pics.

I've had my car with the 19" V spokes for 3 and a half weeks, and like I said in another post, initially they felt a bit harsh when hitting pot-holes, compared to the 18" I had on my previous car (325i coupe), but they are not annoyingly harsh or firm and I think all round the car is comfortable to drive. I don't have the M sport suspension which probably does help! My front tyres were actually 3 psi over the recommended amount, so after I sorted that out, the ride felt a bit better. My advice... it sounds like you will regret not getting them later on!!!!!

What car do you have at the moment and what size wheels/tyres?

I Have 20 inch wheels under the z4 with m suspension and it's still a great en smooth car to drive. It also helps that I have the 3 ajustable settings : Normal , Sport and Sport +

So i think 19 will be great for UK roads

They do look good...but new tyres will cost about £100 more than the 18's as well!!
I've got a 1 series at the mo with 18's and when you hit a pot hole you do know about it, and the roads in the uk are full of pot holes after the harsh winter we had.
Also, i have to drive up a kerb to get to our carpark at work and don't want to damage them.
I do like the multi spokes but i just need to see them on a space grey to see if they look ok.......i'm a perfectionist lol !!!
