I finally got around to taking pics of my ride. I just put on 20's yesterday. Got a great deal on swapping my 124's for these babies. Thanks Mo!

Need to detail the car, but wanted to share my ride.

I added 35% 3M tint all around and then added the Zenetti Deuce 20's. I'm running 245/35/20 in the front and 285/30/20 in the rear.

I was amazed how much my Dunlop runflats sucked. I have no road noise and the ride is actually smooth!

I hope the attachments work....

Great Pics! So are you no longer using run-flats? I'm looking at doing the same for my E60.

Yes, got rid of the run flats. It's amazing how quiet the car is now. The car is standard with sport package, I noticed with passengers, the car sits lower, but no rubbing.

Very cleaning looking ride -- great choice of rims with that colour

And yet another member who's gone for larger rims without run flats and had an all round improvement in comfort.
