I got the wheels from Tirerack which are very good and frendly.
I got the 19" Breyton GTS gunmetal with Bridgestone Potenza RE-11
I will try and take more photo when the sun is out
here is 1 photo of before and after installing the 19" vs 16"
the car looks high because it was jacked up, when driven it it lower

Dang, Bro, you got me thinking about Breytons again
This is gonna look so right - it'll be painful, dood
Love these wheels! Nice choice on the rubber too, but did you do any research on it's wear? I think most Bridgestones wear kind of quickly - but that's my personal observation from prior experience, so maybe its just the crappy ones I've dealt with (OEM RFT's and a couple of summer RE760's).
Congrats on the new shoes, man! They are gorgeous!
PS how come you went with a 265 in the back?

Sweet! More pics please! I plan on getting Breyton GTS in 19" as well. I didn't know your car is grey because mine is also! I would like to see how it would look on mine.

if you push them hard all the time then they will only last year or 2 which I don't so I sould get 3 to 4 years out of it.
I went for 265 because I whated a better pickup and 35 for a better ride, in the end my car is only a 525i not that much on power compare to others.
But I could have gone for 18" but it looks $hitty.

I am so happy you got these!!!!! I want to come back to Hong Kong. Maybe I will come back next year for business AND vacation.
BTW, if you guys need ANY lights or small parts etc from NYC, my grandmother is leaving for Hong Kong end of October. If you want to order something small from the US, PM me. U can have it sent to my address and I drop it off with my grandma. You need to pick it up from ????.
