Thanks DTMRack!!

serge73 · 02-06-2011, 02:00 PM

I finally made it to washing my car to take some photos of these AWESOME wheels! - I purchased these from Setian at DTMRack as they are the exclusive distributors of the diamond cut wheels for Alufelgen.

I think these wheels are simply put "beautiful", I received the first 2 compliments while mounting them at the dealership on Thursday.

my 2008 E90, Black sapphire metallic with sports suspension (no aftermarket drop).

looks great. lower it

BMWsky · 02-06-2011, 02:36 PM

I love those wheels. I don't think it needs to be lowered; I like the symmetry of the wheel well following the curvature of the wheel. IMHO, "slamming" the car looks cheap and takes away from the lines.

PeteW84 · 02-06-2011, 03:03 PM

Look'n good

Pathy01 · 02-06-2011, 03:16 PM

Looks amazing. The Diamond Cut Black looks great with your black car. Nice choice on the Conti DW as well.

serge73 · 02-06-2011, 04:19 PM

Thanks guys! I made the purchase after months of watching pictures and reading reviews to determine what I wanted. I am actually glad I took so long because that made it possible to see the diamond cut wheels that were not avaialable earlier.

I don't think I will lower the car (at least not for now).. It kind'a feels right to me as it is

cssnms · 02-06-2011, 04:34 PM

Looks great. I like them with ride height of the sports suspension. Maybe spring perches up front to get the front a little lower and match the back and it will look even better.

KCSchoey · 02-06-2011, 07:00 PM

Looks very nice! What size did you go with? They look like 19s.

Yes, Alufelgen SF71 only comes in 19's

nano10 · 02-06-2011, 09:55 PM

really like the wheels, i think you made the perfect choice!

3lusive · 02-07-2011, 01:10 AM

Looks great, the Mtech front bumper would make your car that much more aggressive!

Lowering perches for the front springs.

They are an economical way to get another .5" drop up front without compromising your stock ride quality or requiring an alignment.

enrita · 02-07-2011, 09:39 AM

wow... some really nice wheels... congrats !

lpphreakx06 · 02-07-2011, 11:28 AM

02themax · 02-07-2011, 11:49 AM

Nice rims, nice tires, time for some spacers in the rear...

Thanks for the tip, I will look into this. Are they too difficult/costly to install?

I think Supreme was installing them for $90. My local shop wanted $125. If you are a DIY'er and have a good spring compressor it doesn't sound to difficult.

very nice!
Should i get these or the lc lemans?
