great looking whip man, congrats
I think the general consensus here is there may be some better rims to suit the car and I have to agree, but your taste. Enjoy!

From what I have heard, the limited slip diff for the M235i isn't available until fall 2014

The M235i is technically an M gmbh product and they are free to use whatever tires they want so the M235i comes with Pilot Super Sports. That's my take on the situation, it's weird but when you understand how corporations like this make their decisions it does make a little sense. The $4,100 price also makes perfect sense. People comparing this price to the 19" upgrade on the E92 M3 are forgetting that in the M3's case, you are simply paying the difference between 18" and 19" wheels / tires whereas in this case you're getting a car with one full set of wheels and tires and also buying a second set of wheels and tires. |

I like the matching diffuser but I would be pissed about the fact that they put RFTs on your wheels

Unfortunately BMW uses run flats on most of their cars except the actual M cars. The M235i is not an "M" car, so it gets fitted with run flat tires. When I had my 135i I wondered the same thing, then when I upgraded to the 1M it came equipped with the right tires. When an M2 is launched, that car will have the stickier, lighter, non run flat tires.
Great looking car!! |

One thing is certain looking at the way those wheels fill the arches - BMW needs to offer a 19-inch rim option from the factory!!
