What do you think?

Very nice, what size and brand tires, and what offset and width are the wheels?

Pat Hines

The Wheels are 18x8 TSW with ET20 offset, the tires are Kumho 225/40-18s($123 @Tire Rack)...the ride quality is unbelievable with a ride as nice, if not better than the 225/50s I had on it prior to and SERIOUS wet traction. SmittY

What are TSW and ET20 offsets? The wheels look great! What are you doing with your old wheels and tires? Post pics.

Lou, thanks, TSW is an Italian wheel maker; they named this design SGV; ET20 is the wheel offset or back-spacing; 20mm is the correct offset for the E28s without a need for wheel spacers; the previous wheels were 16x8 AREs which looks very similiar to the stock wheels that came on the E28 M5s, they were shod with Bridgestone RE 910s(with less than 4K on them). I was holding on to them in case I didn't like this look but will probably sell now. I'll see if I can post some pictures by Wednesday. SmittY
