BSM 135i with Matt Black GT CX Wheels

Installed my new Matt Black GT CS Wheels earlier this week. These are similar to VMR V710 wheels. The wheels were purchased from Jason at EuroDivision in Melbourne. Jason was a pleasure to deal with.

Wheel and tyre details are as follows:
Front 8.5" x 18" ET45 with 225/40/18 Bridgestone RE050A tyres
Rear 9.5" x 18" ET50 with 255/35/18 Bridgestone RE050A tyres


No rubbing at all. I could have probably instlled 235 fronts and 265 rears tyres and the Bridgestones are a bit rounded. I think the car need a drop now so I was thinking of installing Eibach Pro Kit Springs.

Yes they're RFT? These are my daily wheels/tyres so I stuck with the RFT. Also the car is leased through ORIX and it was too much of a hassle to change to non RFT due to insurance issues.

I will put a set of R tyres on my other set of wheels for the track.
