My Ride: 2009 535i xDrive; Black Sapphire Metallic; Premium, Cold Weather Packages, Navi, PDC, 20% Solargard Tint
So current mods: Angel Eyes, Front/Back/Wheel Roundels, Side LED's, Interior Lights, Plate Holders/Frame.
Next, I'm going to buy new rims/tires - I've gone through the epic "XI Wheels" thread and got some great info there.
1) I'm probably going to go with the Miro 111's, or the Breyton Race GTS - 19 inches. Which brand in your/user opinions is best for longevity and reliability? I live in pot hole riddled Washington DC, and would like to avoid a bent/cracked rim. Of note, and rec's beyond Miros or Breytons are fine. I will be avoiding the replica's due to "quality issues", and they they usually weigh considerably more than stock/listed.
2) Now regarding tires, which brand, thickness, and offset, will keep the ride the smoothest, the most all-season ride-ability, and longevity in terms of flats, and need to replace them?
3) Lastly, are any of the upgraded rims going to be better (performance, longevity, ride) going to be better than my stock 17s?
Thanks again.
