I recently installed MRR GT1 Hypersilver wheels 19x8.5,9.5 with Toyo Proxes T1R tires purchased from Need4Speed. The wheels are as advertised, very bright, technical looking and represent a great value. They ride/handle well with the Toyo's and have survived the Michigan potholes so far.

I spent a lot of time researching this and ended up with the MRR's after talking with MRR directly and then to Edgar at Need4Speed (818) 896-1148. Edgar is extremely knowledgeable and helpful and (most impressively) was available every time I called to ask another question. Highly recommended, a great product and a great buying experience.

 

Sorry for the formatting, it looked fine in the Post Preview.....first photos I've attached.

 

Very nice!! Reminds me like something between 172s and BBS with a nice matte lip

Congrats

 

It looks good, congrats!

 

looks good man. awesome addition to your e60

 

Thanks for the feedback guys. A couple of other points include a 7 pound weight reduction per wheel/tire going from the 18" 124's with Dunlop RFT's to these 19's w/245/275 tires. Unfortunately the 275 looks stretched on the 9 1/2 inch rear rim. I'd definitely go with a 285 in the future and deal with the speedo issues.

One oddity I learned in the process is that the 19" Toyos are about 3/4 inch narrower than the 18" stock RFT's (same 245/275 width rating). I checked other tire brands and this seems to be typical. Hence, unfortunately lost some footprint going up in diameter.

 

Wheels look great.

Your car would look even better lowered a little and I just happen to have a set of Eibach Pro-kit springs for a 545 that were used for just over a week (and I can now say from experience that if someone makes the mistake of installing V8 springs on a 6 cyl sport package car the front will stay the same height as stock while the rear will drop a half inch and the ride/handling is actually really good!).

Anyway, since we could meet up locally to avoid shipping it would be a good deal.

I like your choice in wheels, cant wait to see it with a kit to complement them.

 

Jeff,
Thanks for the offer but I'm low enough with the sport suspension (for Michigan anyway). Shoot me a PM and let's meet up sometime along with the other Detroit members....

Going just a "little" lower is never a problem....

If we could get some of the local folks together that would be great. Maybe we could do it in conjunction with a car show or race somewhere.
