RC_Design "M2" with Kleber tires. What do you think?

It is quiter. The steering is a little different. Not as bumpy with regular tires. A bit more comfortable.

Chris.. Why didn't you get BMW roundels for the centerhubcaps?? The RC's caps look out of place IMHO

They aren't BMW wheels. I could pop the ones out from my summer set and put them in.

Cole,
The tires are 225/45/R17 rated H.

You can buy the BMW hubcaps in the accessories catalog. They cost something like $4.95 US each. They were listed along with one of the wheels available.
