Hey man, I need the Accord to go to the L&L's that opened in downtown Manhattan (64 Fulton St.). The streets are so terrible down there that it's always a major headache to drive through there with 18" wheels.

I'm going to wait until the spring to touch up a couple of scuffs.

 

Capebimmer:

Great Job (the second time around, LOL) Even the first with Pete's inpatients it still looked good, to the curb rash.

You ought to start a business,,,or have you?

Ho brah, in 'da east coast, we get 'da kine snow and I no like 'da snow get on 'da kine 5er, eh? (Forgive me for my poor, poor pidgin' -- haven't spoken like a "local" in over a decade now, and am told I "talk like a haole" by all of friends back home. *Sigh*).

For whatever it's worth, my car hasn't been driven in snow yet (nor in the puddles of salt that form afterwards) and I intend to keep it that way. I was thinking about getting snow shoes, etc., but I love this thing too much to have her get all that disgusting salt and ice on her. The L&L's comment was just tongue in cheek. Sorta. The Manhattan potholes are bigger than anything anyone in Hawaii can imagine, and they love 18" wheels. Last time I was home, one of my buddies warned me to slow it down on some road, saying that it was in rough shape -- however, the condition of that road was comparable to some of the smoothest stretches on the FDR in NYC. At some point, it makes sense to have a $4,000 beater for city use.

Sorry, forgot to log in for that last post!

 

cool, another "pre-local" member ! potholes in here are getting bigger and bigger . more and more every time after heavy rain . that means constructions all over and traffic is giving me headache sometimes :'(.

 

Hi E60holic:

What do you have 19s or 19s? I am very tempted to go back to 17inch for the pothole reason!

I just had mine on my SONAR balanced great on my e60 for a week, and then going down the road and WHAM a stupid pothole, and it got into my new TOYO Proxes 4's radial belt!

I am not a thrill seeker and do not play games with my tires, and I was going to purchase a new replacement tire, but as I was getting ready to order a new tire, the tire store manager advised me it was covered for free under my Road Hazard warranty! My tire manager friend saved me $200.00+!

PS,
Before anyone here at the e60 forum purchases any new wheels from: "The Wheel Exchange", contact me first privately at: Presley348@aol.com and I might can save you some future new BMW wheel headaches, and a ton of: $$$$$$$$$$.

 

i didn't change my wheels and i have the stock 17's. one of the main reasons is the potholes. well, ok . and the main main reason is my gf stopped me to get wheels .
