My Ride: Jet Black 545i
Just got them mounted today!
Hmmm Angelina Jolie LiPs... not too big, not to small...
BTW, I can confirm that the runflats ride harsh. These ride sooOooOOo much better than the stock runflats. I did not realize that they were the sole cause of the harsh "teeth chattering" ride.

My friend, that's about as good as it gets.
My car is kinda jittery. I've only owned it for two weeks. I'm wondering if it's my stock Dunlops, but am hesitant to drop a $G to find out.

Thanks! I'll take more pics when I wash her this weekend and get some far away shots.
It's the Dunlops, trust me. Mine rode like it was on 22s, no joke. Those runflats are extra hard.

[/quote]Okay, I'll trust you. Send me your address though in case I decide to send you a bill if my car is still jittery after new tires. Did yours shake a little all the time w/ the Dunlops, or just on rough roads/bumps? Mine seems to be a little busy all of the time, regardless of road surface. In fact, the smoother the road the more it irritates me.

Yea the runflats didn't ride smooth on smooth surfaces. I don't know how to explain it, but it seems like I could feel every single loose rock or slight imperfection on the road. The dealer balanced them twice, it was much better the 2nd time.
I read about people swaping out their Dunlops for regular tires and said the ride was much better, I was skeptical like you, but behold they were right.

My Ride: 2005 - 545 - tit silver/grey/sport/premsound/nav/cold weather pkg/ hardwire valetine/clear bra/4700k fog bulbs - acs fron and rear spoiler, r10's radenergies with michelin ps2 - 275/30 - 275/35 - aux audio, v 18.xx
nice rims wonder where you first got the idea from to buy the R10's, was I the influence? What type of rubber did you purchase? Whay kind of lugs did you use? They protrude out. I used stock being my car is tit silver. I find my wheels very easy to clean takes me about 2 minutes ahweel with the right brushes and right wheel cleaner.

What kind of brush do you use? I was thinking maybe a flat skinny brush to clean the inside of the wheels? It's the inside that's hard to clean.
Yea, I saw soc_fan's wheels first (20's), then I saw that you had the 19" version and I really liked them a lot, that's why I asked you how much etc...
I could have gotten the 20s, but I had 20s on my Benz and didn't like how rough it handled after the upgrade. Trying not to make the same mistake twice, I went w/ the 19"s.
Those lugs came w/ the wheels. Those are Radenergie lugs.
