New Winter Wheels

[envy]

ok, so its about time i put my winter wheels. i bought these a month ago and have just got round to putting them on..... im not sure if they improve the looks over the 326m wheels but bigger is better so these original 20 inch ac schnitzer wheels should do the job

to compliment the wheels i still have to put on my black kidney grills, carbon mirror caps and get the calipers painted red. hopefully get round to doing those in the next few weeks

continental sports...... 235/30/20 front and 245/30/20 rears..... will go for 255 or 265's when the rears are wiped out

They look very nice in deed

I thought the point of winter wheels was to buy something more robust in a smaller diameter then fit winter tyres.

You seem to have done the opposite!

Look great how do they feel with 20" winters ?
Did you have the new tpms system fitted to your wheels ?
Was going to fit 17/18 inch rims to mine for the winter until I found out about the sensors :thumbsdown:

the 20s ride about the same as the runflat 19s makes the steering a bit lighter and less road noise on motorways
i didnt need to do anything to the tpms, it didnt flag any errors or anything and i have done about 100 miles on these

That's good to know. No errors! Did yours have the new system ? Metal valves ?

They aren't winter wheels, they're poser wheeels 8)

What's the width and offsets on your Schnitzers.....?

Presumably straight fit with no spacers or interference?

no errors whatsoever, it is a 2014 car with normal valves

20x9 all round, 42 offsets. had to put 15mm hubcentric spacers and slightly longer wheel bolts on the front to clear the suspension but other than that, they were fine

lol, yeah they could be seen as being that too
