The drive feel is different. The car feels a lot heavier and nosier the BMW drive feel is gone. After I replaced replicas with the genuine style 124, I got back the BMW drive feel.
Forgot to ask you how much do the original #124 wheel cost n where did you get them. Also, what tyres are they on. Thanks.

I got mine from BMW dealer in Singapore, i.e. Performance Motors. The 4 rims (style 124) without tyres cost S$3,000. My tires are Goodyear F1 245/40/R18 (S$390 each) With this tyre, the overall wheel circumference is the same as the stock style 134 16" wheels. The handling and ride with 18" rim is better than 16" stock and ride comfort still good and only slightly noisier unless the replicas which compromised handling, comfort and noise and made the car no longer feels like a BMW.

ac388, I think the Michellin Sport is also very good but it is more expensive. Goodyear F1 is rated very good for both wet and dry handling but not for snow.
