22" Rims compared to the stock 19"

[ATSELLAB]

If you want the email of where I got the hook up. Or his direct phone number. Drop me an email. Hes a direct dealer out of Las Vegas. He has more of the exact 22" machined face Tropez wheel in stock so you dont have to special order them and wait a month.

What is the size and load index of the tires you have on them?

[ATSELLAB]

Size is 255/30/22's. Not sure on the load index. Each tire individually is rated at roughly 1500 lbs max load.

The load index is marked on the side of the tire. Near the speed rating. Something like "95V" or equivalent ...

[ATSELLAB]

Load index on the 22" tires is 95 which is 1521 lbs of max load, I know the OEM tires on the 19" rims are 94 which is a 1477 lbs of max load.

Looks awesome! Any rubbing in the front while turning?

ZERO RUBBING- Might also do a 1/2 inch drop in the back and an inch in the front. Im gonna see how I like the current look after a while.

i cant find ur email but mine is [email protected] im very intersted in order n those wheels thanks

[peter_rabbit]

I hate do ask, but what did the tire/wheel combo set you back..?

Also, what's the offset..? It might have been in one of your responses but i was scimming through and probably missed it.

Looks very good

[ATSELLAB]

Email me at [email protected], i will forward you the info

[ATSELLAB]

Offsets are +38mm

[pmtran16]

Rims are sick.....you should get some springs to drop it an inch or so (Might cause rubbing)

Just curious I heard with bigger rims it is recommended to upgrade to bigger brake kit since it takes more to stop and slow down big rims

Either way rims look hot and I also saw your other thread on your new exhaust......Sounds sweet

[ATSELLAB]

You know, obviously having an M ive let her legs stretch and run a bit, especially with the exhaust its an obvious GAIN!

But stopping I havent even noticed a difference with the larger 22" rims, Like I was stating before, these are lighter high quality wheels and not chromed which saves weight. Its all about weight when stopping.

For example, Ive done a run on the back roads to test her out going 0-70 and stopping on a dime. They added a good braking system to the car knowing the drivers could get a lil crazy at the wheel.

I would only upgrade the brakes for looks. Other than that, I feel there is ZERO need to.

[timgbuggy04]

i emailied u.....the price i got was 2550.00 is that a good deal

[ATSELLAB]

Is that with or without tires?

[timgbuggy04]

thats with tires but i read on another page you paid under 2000 for everything........

[blazin_lo]

Yea I got an extra ordinary good deal during xmas time. And ebay had another 10% speacial with the already killer deal. I got my tires from a local guy for 300 bones !!!!! I went to a LARGE LOCAL tire shop and they wanted $1400 for the same tires.

Its all about the good buys, thats all.

[Carlito]

i love the m with 22"s i just cant put them on mine. i thinks 20"s give pretty much the same effect at a cheaper prices and less compromise on the feel of the ride, but the overall look of your car is sweet

[timgbuggy04]

well come on and hook a fellow m owner up....... can you still get thoose pices how much you get just the wheels for

[Bob24]

You are the master of the deals! With the road here in Minnesota I wouldn't dare get 22's since the potholes would kill them in no time flat.

I am seriously considering getting 20's however. I like the Tropez look but I am leaning towards the Ace Executives. Does your hook up carry Ace?

[ATSELLAB]

Ill check on the ace executives. I liked the ace executives but I wanted a unique look that no one would have. Either way, any upgrade would be a bonus.

[timgbuggy04]

i called your place and they told me it cost extra because you didnt choose to get 10.5 in the back. why didnt you get 10.5 in back

[ATSELLAB]

I did try the 10.5, they dont fit. I initially had a staggered set but they stuck out alittle past the fender. Looked good with a lip but stuck out too much. So just went with the same all the way around.

[New2Import]

Where did you get your wheels? I like them and thinking of going 22s if I dont do Asanti in the 20s staggered.

[ATSELLAB]

email me for the info. thanks

[blackm35xbourbon]
