Duke-

Look into the deals Ronal (a board sponsor has)...nice alloys with style and a decent price. I think that 16" wheels are really where it's at....huge selection of rubber but with decent ride. Plus they don't look as 'out of character' on an E28. 16" wheels make it a sleeper. 17"'s say, "Look at Me!". Subtlety, my man, goes a long way.

I keep spinning the TRX'es, almost gets annoying ..almost.

Seriously, I can spend $700+ to get new rubber on my M-tech wheels (Avon), or I can buy some M5 17" rims with $200+ tires on them. With the Avons I keep the original look. With the M5s the sky is the limit with available rubber.

I do not plan on racing (tracking) the car, except for the occasional street sprint. Schooled a Mustang GT the other day, and he was trying hard!

My delema is, there are very very few original M535i's in the states. I really want to keep mine original but the HP I am achieving (will only get better with the Hartge equipment yet to be installed) now is getting dangerous with the TRX'es and I do not know if the Avon will deliver the performance I need.

What do you guys think?

Thanks,
Duke
