Sport Edition F10 17"

Luvmybmw · 01-19-2009, 10:41 AM

Are the Sport Edition F10s a 'good' wheel?:iono: They are quoted with a weight of 20.5 lbs. and only $137. I am thinking about going to 17" wheels/tires? Thoughts...Tires to go with these wheels...

Any particular reason you're looking to switch to 17" wheels?

I think they would be fine for winter wheels, but I would look elsewhere for summer wheels. With only 17x8 width, you will probably have a hard time getting power to the ground, especially with your Dinan flash.

That's my 2 cents. :smile:

It's one of our most popular winter selections. I wouldn't hesitate to use it on my car at all.

You are probably right...I just wanted a lighter wheel with lighter tires. I thought that this would = "more power off the pole" i.e. quicker 1/4 mile times. i most likely will just get new tires this spring. I am not a fan of the run-flats.

I really like my F10's, but they're winter only, as I have the beautiful oem Style 261M wheels for summer.

Well, the Breyton Race GTS-R wheels are stock size and reduce the weight quite a bit, especially for cast wheels. They're only around 17/18 lbs each, although they are slightly more money. Throw on some 225/255 tires of your choice, and you're set.
