AW on AW... someone had to do it!

Jseries1 · 09-13-2011, 06:36 PM

While not for every taste..... I like the result!

Wheels: 19x8.5 & 19x9.5 VMR V715 Custom Painted Alpine White
Tires: 225/35/ZR19 & 245/35/ZR19 Continental ExtremeContact DWS All Season

Rub: Rear rubbed slightly when I hit a speed bump going about 45MPH......I consider myself lucky.....
Regular bumps and pot holes have no issues.

Looks good.

BimmerE82 · 09-13-2011, 09:42 PM

I think the car looks awesome! Nice pics

xerox445 · 09-13-2011, 09:45 PM

You should get white frost tint...

HISI808 · 09-13-2011, 10:38 PM

Too bad you don't have the aluminum trim. I think the car would flow better with it instead of the shadowline trim.

Just noticed, are those white painted grill inserts as well?

Harlequin · 09-13-2011, 10:44 PM

I like it...

bogart · 09-13-2011, 11:36 PM

Lower and camber it and it will look so sick!!

pinmagic · 09-14-2011, 06:48 AM

Nice - but good luck keeping those wheels clean. That may become your full-time job.

Try the Armor All wheel protectant - it works really well.

Bimmer-Bob · 09-14-2011, 07:22 AM

The white may or may not look okay - I can't get past that god-awful polished lip. I guess I just have really, really different tastes.

You thought about powder coating the lug bolts, too? Might look good.

I did consider the trim, but that one is still up in the air.
The grill inserts are painted too!! I also painted the front licence plate bracket and frame too.

I am using poor boys wheel sealant to keep the brake dust off. Seems to work well so far. It does take a while to apply however. I apply two coats though, since the wheels are white.

Nice wheels!!!! I just purchased the Alufelgen Sf-71 19x8 et 45, 255/30/19 19x9 et 48. I got the same front tire selection 225/35/19 DWS, however I am still debating which tire for the rear 265/30, 255/35 or 245/35. I am stock and don’t plan lowering it, I really don’t want to rub or fender roll. What do you thing?

If you go 245, you probably won't rub since you would actually have more clearance than I have in the rear with my 9.5 inch. If you go 255, then you will have about the same clearance as I have now, so you would be okay in most cases. If you go 265, you will probably rub but not too bad. However, I would not go 265, cause I don't want to rub. If I lower my car, I will rub, but my wheel is half an inch wider than yours. So if you go 255 without a drop you should be okay, but that would be my limit.

As in easier to apply? I looked it up. It seems that it works well but leaves behind a residue?

Did poor boys not work for you??

Poorboys stuff only lasted about a week... and was a PITA to apply...

Brake dust just falls off the Armorall treated wheels and you get at LEAST a couple of weeks out of it...

If you over-apply it then you get a residue... Do several light applications rather then a single thick application and the only way you'll know it's there is by the lack of dust

Thanks for the advice, I will most likely go with 255 on the rear, it sucks the DWS don’t come in 255/30 or 245/30; we are obligated to get a taller tire or much wider tire. It also throws off the recommended diameter

Yea, but it was close enough for me not to be able to ignore that 50k mile warranty on the DWS. Had to pull the trigger.

Ok, thanks! Looks like its about 8 bucks. Will give it a try when this current coat wears off.
