New ForgedLite Wheels Mounted Up!

imflyn · 05-06-2024, 01:42 PM

After much anticipation I finally got my wheels mounted up today. ForgedLite MC6. Front are 19x8.5 +30 and the rear are 19x9.5 +40. For tires, Falken Azenis 510's. I'd used them in the past on my previous car and they were great, plus a little savings over Pilot Sports. I went with a finish (brushed gray) that was a good match to the cerium gray trim accents. Can't wait to put some miles on 'em and see how the ride compares since these are not runflats!

Looks really good! Well done

Your ride will definitely be better than any runflats AND you are on 19s. Should be a plush ride. On my F10 535i when I switched to non runflats it was a night and day difference.

I took her on a 300 mile trip and the handling around corners is definitely improved. The ride is incrementally better. I think going from all season run flats to summer non run flats is where the trade off lies. Summer tires are always a little rougher and noiser than all seasons so it wasn't a total night and day transformation. All and all, loving the new look and handling. More grip from sure when punching it off a corner.
