Very nice wheel - forged center with spun rim. You might look at the BBS RS-GT's, a few dollars more, but a higher quality wheel - forged two piece, very light and stronger than the Radenergie.

Hi ch7656:
Are those BMW OEM? What style numbers are they? The look awesome! How do the ride, and any steering wheel vibration, and in the back past of your legs, (femur area?) at 45 to 55mph?

Hi Chris ! ! !
I went to the Monet wheel site, and you got the best looking wheel there, for your or any new Bimmer, ("The New age")
By the way I am sorry to hear about the "thin" paint job, but at least you got BMW attention and got a new one, and it does look BMW excellent! Congratulations!
I read where you said: "Monet Wheels and yes my ride quality was affected...IT GOT BETTER! "
What did you mean by how did you get the ride quality better?
Thanks in advance!

[/quote]Without a doubt the ride with 19? Michelins compared to the stock 18? run-flats IMHO is quieter, softer and more responsive

I hope you don't mind answering the following:
a) How is the ride? Is it smooth as it was with the BMW OEM 18inch?
b) Do you have any vibrations at 45 to 55 mph in the steering wheel, or in the back your upper (femur), legs?
Again thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
Presley348

a)How is the ride? Is it smooth as it was with the BMW OEM 18inch?
No, it?s smoother than the 18? runflats the car came with
b) Do you have any vibrations at 45 to 55 mph in the steering wheel, or in the back your upper (femur), legs?
Hmm, ever so slight in the wheel?I will tell you however that I?ve had 3 E60?s all with 19? aftermarket wheels?3 different wheel manufactures and all were a bitch to get balanced just right. I have a local shop here in SoCal that can ?strobe? the wheels (balance them while on the car / I?ve found this to better than ?road-force?) and seems to be what it takes to get things just right.
I take it you?ve had issues with vibration?steering wheel indicating problems with the front / back your upper (femur), legs indicating problems in the rear
