My new Rohana RC7 Wheels and tires have been installed

[PeteFiniti]

Greetings,
I finally got my new Rohana RC7 Wheels and Tires installed this week. I went with the Continental Extreme Contacts DWS06 tires.

Here is my ride 2012 M37 triple package AWD.
(Yes I also have embedded TV screens on the back of the head rests).

Stock wheels and no window tint.
How it looked before:


Just about to get the 18" OEM wheels and tires off at discount tire:


This is how it looks like now:




*PHOTOSHOP DEPICTION*
How it would look like if I lowered it (I spent a few minutes with photoshop)



I will have to make a new fancy signature pic


I started the discussion here - thanks to all that provided feed back:

Looks good.

[Altered]

Your car came out really nice, after seeing the PS I would lower it but it looks great as is.

[PostalsQ]

I have a silver car too. Really like the look. Great choice. Was actually considering a darker gray wheel. But I may have to reconsider.

[PeteFiniti]

@postalsQ - Initially I was thinking the same after I found some pics with the same color as my car (liquid platinum) with gun metal, I changed my mind. I can post the complete grocery list a bit later on if anyone is interested.

Yes I am teetering between lowering it or leaving it alone. Its not a "need" at this time so far now leave it alone until I have a compelling reason to get coil overs.

[MY2J]

I have the same wheels... won't thread jack but if you want to see how it looks lowered on BC, just holler lol I went staggered 20x10 & 20x11 (deep concave)

[PeteFiniti]

I would liek to look - You have a link to share?

[PostalsQ]

MY2J, I'm curious to see too. That's the exact width I'm aiming for as well.

[MY2J]

here you go...

20x10 +25 (F), 245/40/20
20x11 +28 (R), 285/35/20

[PostalsQ]

Your car looks so disgustingly ugly with those wheels. But being the nice guy that I am I'll give you mine as an even trade.

Damn those wheels bring out the cars natural beauty. Love the big width on the wheels. Great choice.

[PeteFiniti]

Oh yes! I have seen this post..! I didn't put two and two together that it was you. But these pics helped me decide on my purchase. Albeit you have deep concave cause of the width.. But yes - rad ride man!

You have it dropped as well? And if so what I assume coil overs?

[MY2J]

Thanks guys. Yes, I have BC coilovers but did not slam it completely because I daily it and have a family. I can load up and never hear a rub or scrape... can fully lock the wheel and not a single noise is heard. Hence the taller sidewalls and more rubber. I like functional over looks.

[PeteFiniti]

I agree! Function over looks however i think you have fused both together nicely. I am considering BC coilovers for my AWD but I am still not totally pushed over the edge yet on getting them.

[dmclone]

here you go...

20x10 +25 (F), 245/40/20
20x11 +28 (R), 285/35/20

If I was going to go with a wheel/coilover combo this would be the exact stance I'd want. IMO this looks so much better then the lower drop.

[MY2J]

I'm currently trying to dial down the infamous "clunk" the BC's are notoriously known for. If I could voice my opinion, I would tell you to stay clear of this brand. I'm almost considering taking the loss and replacing these in the near future.

[PeteFiniti]

Noted and truly appreciated information!
What will you replace with?

[CRV_33]

After seeing how your car looks after its lowered, I dont know what you're waiting for?

Also do you have any pictures and details about the tv in the headrest? I would love to have feature in my M.

[PeteFiniti]

As for dropping it. Well I was waiting on what MY2J was going to recommend for coil overs as BC's had a clunk and quite frankly I don't want to deal with that.

Any how here is the pic of a the back of my headrest. Both headrests have them. There are head phones in the rear seat center console along with joysticks for built in video games. Also the audo from the screens can be played over the stereo

[DoN_BLaZe34]

Scale suspension offers AWD coilovers if you don't want to go the BC route. CRV_33 has them on his AWD M56

[PeteFiniti]

What are the reviews like? I may be interested on my m37x. Anyone?

[MY2J]

sorry guys... I don't have this set up to notify me. Anyways I honestly do not know what better options are out there that won't cost and arm and a leg. I do know for a fact tho that these BC's are a horrible product... buying something with your fingers crossed in hopes that it won't clunk is not the way to buy anything. There are so many "hit or miss" stories out there that it's just scary

[PeteFiniti]

Yes I have heard of them. And yours just adds to it.. Sigh.. No clunk for me. I may just leave the car as is..

[Malbec 56 Beast]

I have the whole set of BC'S with the swift springs and adjustable upper control arms.

I can't wait to get them on.

Honestly the M56xS rides a bit soft in my opinion. Don't want it to break my bad back but do love a firm complient ride.

[ssmrico]

where u get the headrest done at or from?

[PeteFiniti]

It came with the car as I purchased the car use (CPO). I can look and see if there is paper work on it and share that info.

[ssmrico]

oh ok. they look nice

[wideopn11]

I'm going to be installing SCALE on my AWD in the near future with the Swift Spring upgrade. I'd like to do it now but vacation fund is trumping car fund at the moment.

[TLoc]

Pete,

What size did you end up with for the wheels and tires? Maybe I missed it.

[PeteFiniti]

@wideopen - I went with 20X9 all the way around. Tires were the continental DWS 245x40 R20.

Loving it thus far...

[stm37s]

Nice set up, I would lower it, I think you would like how she rides afterwards
