I wouldn't go with 22in have a buddy with them and hates them. The ride is to ruff with 22in. Since most 22in are super low profile. I have the 21in summer Perelli zero and love them. I had about 25k on them before they got stolen. I usually drive between 110 to 167mph daily on the Autobahn. 1 to 2 hours driving 130mph with no issues.

I ended up using a matte black plasti-dip on the diffuser, as well as the upper bumper trim to bring it all together, and match the hitch so it doesn't stand out so much. Its in this thread somewhere. |

Special thanks to Autoteknic...... for selling me "high quality" carbon fiber parts..... that delaminate and peel in just over a year....... just like the Chinese junk on eBay that costs 1/3 as much.
Had you actually been willing to support your product, I'd still be happy...... but even when presented with the original box, original shipping label, and pictures of your defective parts..... You gave me the whole "We have no record of you on file.... You'll have to contact the vendor you bought them from". I was the first person to buy a set of CF caps for the G05.... they weren't even advertised yet. I ordered them over the phone.... announced it on here..... and then vendors started offering them. Here's the post I made when I first bought them: https://g05.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1675375 Last edited by Ninefourteener; 10-01-2021 at 04:18 AM.. |

wow entire car looks great! how do you like these wheels. I'll never buy a bmw car again because all i did was replace rips and wheels every 4 months driving in New york. I love the X because i haven't had to change a rim. i know your roads in europe are nicer than the united states of potholes, but do you think these rims will take a beating? |

In "Southern Belgium" where I live?? The roads are worse than war-torn Afghanistan. I actually hit a BAD one about 6 months ago.. dented the front rim, Cracked the rear rim.... and literally EXPLODED the front tire. I've since had the rims repaired.... and bought taller tires to protect them.

Been away for awhile.... focusing on a 1991 BMW K100 cafe racer build.
Thought I'd show off my new "beefy" tires. Belgian 3rd world roads..... hit a BAD pothole.... dented the front rim, cracked the rear rim.... and had the front tire literally EXPLODE (sidewall blew out like a gunshot). So..... beefier tires it is.... at least until I move to a country that doesn't have roads worse than war-torn afghanstan. |

Speedometer may be off, but the Ratio between front and rear, and side to side is all that matters. Difference isn’t going to be enough to induce more stress on the gear box via higher gearing either.

My speedometer is off by "maybe" 1mph (low). On the old tires, it was off by 2-3 mph (high). Quote:
Thanks! I did like the "look" of the low-profile tires much better. These new tires also required that I adjust the droplinks to raise the vehicle back up about 10mm. Unfortunately, ultra-low profile tires just aren't feasable in this country.
