So many wheels out there! The decision is never easy so i just switch through different wheels every 6 months lol

Nice update! Came here to ask if the tires sat proud of the rim. Looks like they don't, but just barely.

What do you mean by proud, exactly

Tires pushing out just beyond the rim. So, if you were to parallel park and you got too close, the tire would touch before the rim.

Hmm...I think I was wrong, looking at it again they do look like they sat just proud of the rim. The angles are tough.

i see what you're saying... The rim itself does NOT poke beyond the tire.

Thanks for the update!

Just to get this straight: the consensus here is that the Bridgestones are working out better than the MPS2 or SS? I've gone through multiple sets of both PS2 and SS (like the PS2 better) but it's time to get brave and try something else. I'll probably keep the 19" original rims....this is an e92 M3. And how many miles do you get from a set?? Give me a little confirmatory feedback before I order please. Thanks!

My buddy installed the RE71R tires on his e93 M3 and he did not like it... The tires provided too much grip to the point where he could not burnout.. (DCT full throttle from dead stop would not spin the tires lol was kinda sad)

In our case that would be awesome

Agreed. That would definitely be a good problem to have in our case lol

Definitely! I browse this thread daily because I'm going to straight up copy you. Wanted HRE 300s, but they are just to rich for my blood and I'd be saving up for a while to buy them. These look amazing and with tires are still cheaper than just the HRE wheels.

dubsesd · 03-07-2016, 02:54 PM

not to mention these are readily available with no downtime if something were to ever happen (knock on wood) plus they weight the same if not less than most HRE. i wish i had the balls to blow 8k-10k on a wheel package, but my wife would probably beat me if i did.

OP, send me high res photos and ill post em up for you. shoot me a pm if interested

I will update with some new photos!

I'm in the same boat. Wife would not be happy with the price tag of HRE 300s.
