Hello All,
Just wanted to get this groups opinion on Breyton Wheels. What does everyone think of the Breyton Race GTS Wheels in black for my white 528? Thinking of 19", maybe 20"'s. Dont really hear much about Breyton wheels, although they are made for BMW's. Should I Hit or Skip these wheels.
Thanks for the input...
I have had two sets of Breyton wheels. Needless to say they are not the strongest wheels made. They bend like crazy. Breytons were made in Germany (mine) these new Breytons are made in China. My guess is that these China made wheels are of lesser quality (of the not the greatest quality) German made ones. I would be wary of these wheels.

No wheel will hold up on NYC streets. Stick with an 18inch wheel if thats a major concern of yours. You need as much sidewall as you can get if your defending against potholes and the like. There isnt too much of a difference between a 19 and a 20 as far as sidewall size would go and 20's just look better on these cars. There are sacrifices to be made by running larger wheels. Take that into consideration when deciding what to do. Assume you'll be investing more than your initial purchase price over the years. It's just part of the whole pay to play scenario. You wanna play, you gotta pay. Sux for us NY'ers but unavoidable.

I got these in a Staggered 20 inch setup for my 550. I did them in Matte Gray. Im also running a 295 rear. I will post some pics when done with the car.

All the best

The wheels are beautiful!! Though I'm not sure about the Black on White theme. Perhaps another color?

Thanks for the reply. Trying to decide whether I should go with the silver or black finish. Decisions, decisions...
