My Crimson Red 135i with Breyton Race GTS-R wheels

twinturbo135i · 11-15-2008, 11:01 PM

Okay, I finally took the plunge and I decided to buy some wheels and tires for my CR 135i. It was a tough decision between the bright silver or the plain black wheels. But in the end, this is what I chose simply because black wheels sometimes tend to look a bit too "shade tree" for my likes. Of course this is my opinion so hopefully the black wheeled owners don't flame me too much.

Nonetheless, here's what my baby looks like. They are the Breyton Race GTS-R wheels along with Yokohama S Drive rubber. I chose to go with the exact same size as the stock setup simply because I didn't want to have to worry about using spacers, etc. The wheels are extremely light at roughly 17.5 lbs and I think they look great. Of course I ditched the center caps that came with the wheels and I went with the BMW caps instead.

Very nice.. so those are 18s eh.. any other pictures and angles? The main reason I was thinking of black rims is because of the brake dust...

I was worried about going with silver instead of black because like you said, the brake dust is very an annoying problem. But like I said earlier, the black wheels don't do anything for me. So I'll just have to continue to deal with the dust just like most of us do.

by the way, I plan on taking some quality pics tomorrow after I wash my car.

Are those pics edited? The red looks a little weird...

Black wheels might not work with your chrome trim.
How do you like the new tires? Big difference?

The new tires ride so much smoother than the RFTs do. of course this shouldn't be a surprise to most people.

I continue to struggle with getting these wheels, i really want a 8.5 setup all around but I just don't want to deal with any rubbing..

My Breytons are 8.5" all around (5mm spacer in front), 245x35 will work without rubbing.
