I was actually looking at those wheels. It looks good and I may have to pull the trigger soon. Thanks for posting.

You're welcome! They suit the car. I'm actually looking at some spoke design wheels now, I used to run some on previous M's. I go thru wheels.

TWINS! Except I have the VMR 810s


They always look much darker once the brake dust settles though

Agreed about middle road colors. Hyper Silvers are too much contrast for my taste unless its a rim that doesn't have a lot of spokes / material a la OZ Leggera's. I'm not a fan of black rims on mineral grey, but definitely looks better to me on any other color.

Well, if you happen to be in the NW, I'd be interested in your set!

I'm in Bethany so I'm very close. My car is actually at Discount Tire right now getting new Michelin PIlot AS 3+ installed because I had a second bulge in the RFT in 6 months. Kuni refuses to warranty the tire even though it was the exact tire I replaced 6 months prior due to a bulge. I wasn't about to drop another $300 to replace a front tire to have a rear tire blow out in a few months and cost me $400+. These RFT's are a joke! I swapped out my old E92 to Conti DWS06 and it was much better than the Bridgestone RFT's and these new Mich's are supposed to be even better.

I think you'll love the Michelin's. I like them better than the DWS06, which isn't bad for what it is. Yeah, the RFT's are terrible! Hopefully Discount tire gets a good balance for you. I don't think they have a road force balancer. Check your rim too, they don't have a "touchless" tire removal tool.

They've yet to screw anything up for me. I had them do my E92, IS350, and G37 in the past without incident *fingers crossed*

Just picked it up and happy to say that they're balanced with no wheel damage.

I think Bronze colored wheels look good on MG
