While I think the rims look GREAT on my BSM (and I'm thinking about having my std 19s powder coated anthracite) the tires are so-so in the cold/dry. LOTS of tread flex and I can tell that I've got a smaller contact patch in the rear (so I guess the tread flex won't last all THAT long )

Of course, on the way home I ran into a small BOULDER...



(Not sure if you can see from the pic but it friggin DENTED the hood FFS!)

Anyway, I'm not TOO pissed off about it since my 1M is a daily driver and this kind of crap is impossible to control (within reason at least ) I can take small comfort in the fact that a clear bra would not have helped much on this one
Love the look. What BMW model number are these wheels? Also, is there any need for spacers, etc. to make them work with the 1M?
