Ride quality with Style 199 Wheels

i want the 199s so badly but they are so expensive... it's SO bad that bmw doesnt give more wheel choices at the outset... *sigh*

Michael, Just got back from a dealer here in central florida. They had a great brochure with the wheels. 199's in 19s look absolutely sick. 4k is big jack. Did you consider getting them when you bought the car? They are pricey but they stunning in the brochure pics. They are +/- 500/wheel. Anyone have any weights for the 199 style 19" wheels? That kinda money buys you BBS RGTs.

I would be concerned using 19" wheels with runflats. I have 19" wheels but Michelin tires and the ride is roughly equivalent to the 18" wheels with runflats. They are nice looking wheels, though, and there is no need to use runflat tires. I personally wanted at least a 9.5 " rear wheel, and I think the 199s are 9" for the rear.

Get the 199's and non-RFT's. That's what I did, problem solved.
