18" Tz-10

Here's a picture of my new 18" TZ-10's. I'm running 215X35X18 BF Goodrich KDW 2s. Didn't like the Exel center wheel emblem and found that the 45mm BMW roundel fit perfectly. I was told that the standard wheel bolt would not fit so I converted to the Pilo wheel studs with red Gorilla tuner locking lug nuts.

Just got my new R90's mounted! I ditched my S-Lites and runflats last Fall and ran R82's with all season tires this Winter. Now that Spring is finally here, I decided on the 16 inch R90s with 205/50ZR16 Goodyear F1 GS-D3s. is all I can say....

Wider is Better

After two years of lusting, scrimping, saving, coming up with excuses, and finally purchasing, I finally had the opportunity to mount my new (slightly used) Kosei K1s with 205/50/16 Kuhmos.

Pardon the dirty car, but look at ehose new shoes!

https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...cat=500&page=1

p.s. could someone PM me and tell me how to do the thumbnail attatchments? I didn't want to drop the large image in here, indeference to my fellow dial-up users.

thanks!

Nice. Is your MCS lowered? Do you know if the 16" R90s have a different/ more aggressive offset relative to X-lites?
