BMW Performance Rims 19': Unpacked & installed (Video & Pics)

[Twinz]

After a long search for the right rims for my car, Revo intoduced me to these and i loved the look on first sight & took delivery of them today. Thx Revo for your assistance and putting up with my complaints about rim sizes/offsets/right tyres etc...

The BMW Performance Rims are lightweight double spoke (269) alloys. The colour is a beautifully crafted aluminium with a powder grey finish (on the inside) and spotless in design using low pressure casting. The diameter of the spokes allow more air to get to the brakes and maximising efficiency (aka BMW). The low weight rims are in fact lighter than my current "super light forgestars" rims. You can see in the video how easy it is for the tech to flip the rims or handle it with one hand. I like the nice touch - wordmark embossed on the rim ‘BMW Performance’...:thumbsup:

Sizes:
Front 19x8 - (Part:36 11 6 781 046)
Rear 19x9 - (Part: 36 11 6 781 047)
RFTs:
Front:225/35
Rear: 255/30

Sweet man looks freaking awesome. Love the BMW Performance logo it’s so nice. Any idea what the actual weight of the rims is? I guess the BMW Performance rims are super lighter than the regular BMW mags.

 

[freerider]

Oh my :drool: Those are just beautiful!

 

[calypso]

Those are beautiful.
Whats the price and offset?

I think they call that insider trading, and it is ILLEGAL!

 

[Rennzport]

the wheels look really good on the car
Great choice

 

[mahinder-suresh]

Are your old rims 18s and light pack rims? If so do you wanna sell?

 

[Julz]

Ja,What rims did you have on?

 

[Twinz]

Been a crazy day...

Thx for the kind words guys...
The rims/wheels (19") in my signature were replaced. I love those deep dished rims but did not fit the face-lifted 335. Caused too much "rear rubbing"...heeeeheee...now the new rims fit perfectly in the wheel well...it just "slips in" under the fender (as a manner of speaking)....:excited: They do look very good on the car...BMW claims each rim weighs approximately 9kg...not sure my self...but it sure is very light.

The original 17' rims & tyres for the 335 are fitted on my 120d....those 17' are heavy...heavier than the forgestar 19s & the bmw performance ones....:dunno:
The 19' trafficstars are being passed on to my brother. I think it will fit the e46 M3 perfectly...

Revo please post the offsets for the BMW performance rims...can't find your email with the info...

@Kabal...i will post some pics over the weekend....have not had a decent break the past two days...work...work :wave:

I will share some more thoughts & questions i have once pics are up...

 

[Rennzport]

[Wild BMW]

Its just awesome man:thumbsup:

 

[@ri]

Jealous.. Price?

 

[Muney]

:drool: Oh man, I love those wheels with a passion...I know for a fact that the 17s are heavy. My old 17s from my car where amazingly heavier than my 18" reps! Lovely purchase Twinz!:clap:

 

[Rennzport]

dealer price is about 30k for rims

 

[@ri]

LOL i know dealer price.. what's your price revo?

how much you think I could get for my current 5 double spoke 18" M rims? About 4 months old. Would really love a set of these perf rims.



@twinz, revo - if i'm not mistaken those are the old -er style269 performance rims? the new ones are style 313 here?

I like the older ones like yours more...
