i never stated your wheels were made by tsw. i put since the recent transaction with the "new " owner which only happend recenntly, (which means recent) i put that for future reference. sorry buddy not gonna take time to dismount my tire and rim just to prove anything i have a life other than my bmw, but if you want to say your right then take all the credit i can really care less. oh well i guess the awnser jus stays in limbo. i know u never said 22's wouldnt fit i was just answering the question that first started this topic. im done now next next topic and u also have a great day.
i never bet or gamble, also i have more money than u can imagine so be carefull who u say that too in the future, u never know who has it.

Why would you have to dismount a tire? If you are truly the manager at AZA wheels you should have a spare wheel to weigh. Not only that, you would know the true weight as the manager you should know the specs on the wheels you sell. It is obvious you are a liar and have been called out. My bet still stands and I will even pay your fees to dismount the tire(s). But as you no I have nothing to worry about.

In all fairness, a simple google will result an 18inch AZA wheel weighs around 25lbs. Not to throw fuel on the fire or anything

I got love for wheelsplus because he was the first I know of that had 22s on the E60 and done it more than once when people said it couldnt be done
But I do got to agree, based on the weight of the 18s those aza wheels in 22s got to be well over 30lbs at least.

Getting something to fit does not make it 100% right. A 285/25R22 tire is ~2" taller then the stock tire. Where are you going to get that space in the wheel well for the larger tire. I can assure you that the car does not drive nor handle the way BMW intended it to. I bet it bottoms out on the smallest dips in the road. If you drive 25 mph and slower then this would be OK, I tend to drive faster especially in the corners.
Oh, and whats my woman doing in your sig
