as abrasive as your posts often are, I have to agree 100%.

the spirit (at least according to the press release) of the car is to perform well. I think the 18s that are on the car are a strech. but they could be replaced with lighter 18s and non-RFTs. adding 19s pushes more weight onto the wheel and farther from the hub, plus its expensive, you have to put rubber bands around them for tires, and it will probably feel as such.

to those who are planning on slappin 19s on this car, what is your reason for purchasing it in the first place? just cause its a BMW? cause it looks cool? it obviously isnt the same reason im lookin at it.
