My Ride: 2006 Titanium Silver 550i, with all the bells and whistles!!
Default

I mounted some 124's with Dunlop runflats today. Big improvement over the 17" 116's that came with my car. I love the staggered look. The runflats are definitely louder, but the handling is nice. The 116's are dedicated winter tires now.

I have to give my car a good wash and take some pics with, but here are some from today that I took part way through for comparison. Let me know what you think?

I also changed all the roundels from Blue & White to Black & White a while ago.

OEM Wheel Changes definitely count as a "mod" ...

Keep those dollars flowing into the economy + you get miles more smiles for the contribution as an added bonus!!

To me, if the wheels were not the original equipment style, it's a mod.

Yes it's a mod. I like the 124s much better. The new Roundels look good.
