ssbmw 186 Report post Posted January 28, 2012 Hi Simon, I agree with what everyone has said above. The Style 5's are aesthetically a perfect option. I am a fan- I have owned 3 cars that have had style 5's. Saying that, despite the superb looks, I am not thoroughly convinced they are 'perfect' for the E24. Considering all the trashy reviews you read about the old Michelin TRX metrics, I thought my 6's always 'felt' better when they had the factory wheels. Mind you, this is purely my opinion. I have had the pleasure / privilege of driving over a dozen M635csi's, and the best ones I have ever driven had the original wheels (less thumpy and better feel). Another thing too- the Style 5's being bigger seem to place more stress on the suspension parts - my buddy Ross who is an esteemed BMW independent workshop owner is adamant that the bigger wheels have a part to play in the increase in wear and tear in the suspension. He has seen it happen a numerous times when a E24 has gone onto Style 5's. It's funny- the Style 5's were launched in the early 90's and were new on E31's, E34's and later the E39's. However, despite that though, as everyone has alluded to, they kind of suit the 80's E24's and E28's (and probably sensational on a E26). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

simonvv 2 Report post Posted February 1, 2012 Thanks for the feedback The original wheels are great but the tires are so expensive to replace... The BBS 212 are very cool but I like the LM kinda style No bigger than 17in then? I have 16s on at the moment The guards just have to so room to spare..!!!
