I'm looking to purchase wheels.
I was interested in either the Alpina Softlines or The BBS RSII. But recently I've come accross some cheap Knock-offs. Does any one know any thing about Highline Wheels or Wheel Max?

Definetly wouldn't purchase from either of them. If you want a good source for replica wheels check www.thewheelexchange.com

Nonsense!still superb ride :D

Post pics of wheels in question. :)

as long as you don't mind a harsh ride with 20inches

I agree with S50 - this is a bit of a generalization...

I have 19s and the car rides fine. I doubt going to 20s would make my ride "harsh".

It WILL firm things up, though...

I think the ride quality is still good

im fitting 20" 8.5 front and 20" by 10" on the rear

oh my i cant wait for spring :D

i wish i could affordo alpina 20" but that will be well over 6kUS plus shipping from euro. no thanks!

what clear corners are those?

Also will my speedo change if i put 20"?

As long as the OD of the tire is the same as stock, it will not change. There are online tire calculators to determine which size tire you need for each diameter wheel. I just went with the factory 20" Alpina tire sizes as I know they have figured everything out already....

Front 9x20 with MICHELIN Pilot SX in 245/40 ZR20
Rear 10x20 with MICHELIN Pilot SX in 275/30 ZR20

My front wheels are .5" narrower than the Alpina front rims, but hopefully it won't be too noticable visually. Mechanically it will work the same.

You won't be dissapointed with these tires :redspot

More than anything the remaining ride comfort impresses me the most.
