glad you guys still have the modding spirit.
it won't be over mod'd, as it is a 2 door, it is easier to fit more extreme items on eg.no rear door=a bigger
side skirt splitter, as no-one will step onto it, i already have the cf AMG rear lip(not for general sale yet)
As i have a dark colour, fitting cf would be easy and no need for colour coding
Capt 16" i need your help to design some bits.
Wheels - cross keys the fronts arrive this week or there willbe
Millwall style!!
saying that why are we meeting on the 16th? is it something to do with the same size wheels, those Dinky/Corgi
puny,feeble,cretinous,weedy,pussy(sorry abt that one
),pathetic,cute,shopping cart....wheels????
can u take any more Capt 16???

Hi, I am new to BMW family. Got my 523i EAG batch in Dec. Need to learn more from C-hing here.
Thinking of changing the 16" wheel to 18" or 19". Will that consumpt much more fuel and sacify the passenger comfort? Some shops convince me to go for lighting wheel which won't take more fuel than the factory ones. I am not sure about this?
Any good shop recommened for changing wheel and where can I find second hand wheel?
Thanks.

Changing from 16" with run-flat to 18" without run-flat will not affect the ride quality, but you will feel slightly more bumpy if you go for the 19" due to the lower profile.
Lighter wheels will improve the fuel economy and handling in reality, but it wont be much i expect.
Dont buy wheels for its weight as we are not boy racer, buy it for the looks

18" or 19" improve good outlook and handling in turn. You can read our signature and a lot of ideas how to mod your ride.
