Mod fever is coming back to me...
Thinking of getting new rims.

Questions are...
1) if I get same size rims, can I reuse my run flats on the new rims?
2) where can I have this done in Maryland?
3) any idea on how much it will cost to remove a tire and mount it to a new rim?
4) What do you think of 167 rims (replicas since OEMs won't fit the E90)
5) just doing a pulse check, is anyone in the DC METRO area interested in my
162s?

Thanks in advance.

i dont think ull want run flats on new rims... run flats takes away the real tire feeling

Be careful about mounting and remounting the RF tires. Im sure it can be done, but they can be damaged by the mount and remount...

Remember AJ's episode with the tire slipping off the wheel some months back.

Also if you're going with the 167s (M6 Reps) I recommend going up to 19"s...it looks a bite anemic in 18"s Why don't you save the 162s to mount some non-rft winter tires and sell the RFTs.

staggered 162 setup is not really look up to for winters

anyhaw! I dont see why those tires cant fit your next wheel....
but ideally 235s/265s are std norms, but to take it up a little I'd go 245s/275s
in 18" or 19"s

runflats will cost an average of $30 per tire..

If only I had xenons I'd jump on your 162s... but let me know wat you expect from them... if not I'll just take KL old 156s b4 I trade in my car


nahhhhh! I quite happy with my little DD bambino

You and your halogen-whining Get some euro halogens and we'll all chip in to install them for you. I think your ride would look better without the ambers, halogens and all, you have a nice setup I'd get some front splitters to complement your rear spoiler.

Btw, dibs on your 159s/winters if you sell your car We can do a part exchange with my 156s, if you're so inclined...

Hey Frank, instead of the M6 reps, go with a 19" Hartge Classic rep, it'll tie in better with your Hartge lip

wow! how gracious! how about the 161s w/ PS2 AS instead


you see sometimes I hallucinate in my office waiting for 5pm and I daydream
... about this 335i sedan instead... I/m thinking maybe for Jan/next year when I get my national federally mandated minimum wage increase
