Summer shoes, finally!

[ElchTest]

Finally got the new shoes on, 18" Bridgestone Potenza S001 225/40.

Coming from 16" run-flats it is like an entirely different car!

Needs to be cleaned, but it is supposed to rain for days, and it actually snowed (!!) today.

nice

 

[WLH]

Excellent...

 

[DannyBoy]

Absolutely crying out for a rear diffuser to match the spoiler!

 

[PawnSacrifice]

Not that I'm even slightly biased, but looking really good

Thanks everyone!

I'd actually prefer to get the spoiler off rather than adding a diffuser. It was there when I bought the car, didn't think it would be so difficult to get off cleanly since there were no bolts.

They look great, what wheels are they? Did they come in that finish?

 

[Z4Nick]

Looks great. Was thinking about going with matt black on mine (also silver). Is that dropped to?

I was originally after Jade R, as far as I can gather manufactured by Team Dynamics, but sold under several different brands:

By the time I got around to placing an order it seems they had stopped making the 8" model, I could only get 8.5" and delivery time would be 6+ weeks. Also, one of the dealers I spoke to said he wasn't impressed by the quality.

I ended up getting a set of 8" Ronal (who manufactures BMW's wheels) 41t:

They looked almost like what I was after and the price was pretty good too, so I figured I couldn't spend more time and energy looking.

They're available in matt black or silver.

Car is dropped 30mm on Eibachs.
