Just as a matter of interest, it would be good to find out what everyone runs on their cars.
I have a set of 16" Hartge Classics and I have fitted Pirelli P Zero Neros Low Profile. I think that they are 205 50 16. Although not 100% sure.
I also have a set of 15" BMW BBS Cross Spokes and they are fitted with BF Goodrich ones - Usual set up, I think is 205 55 15.
This thread should be interesting to see what the average wheel and tyre set up is.

I have Hartge's on the touring running 205 50 16's tyres are of a varied manufacture!!
On the M3 I have 16" crosspokes and 225 45 16 falkens, very interesting in the wet, and I think it's safe to say I won't be sticking with them..literally!!
I had on my sport 15" bbs crosspokes running 205 55 15 goodyear eagle F1's the best tyres IMHO.

Running all round Nangkang 205/55/15s on my 15" BBS X spokes, good in the dry but completely rubbish in the wet; but that might be due to my ultra low tyre pressure in an attempt to tune the ride (28psi all round
)
Just bought a set of Toyo T1-R with 205/50s on the fronts and 55s on the rears, i'll keep you peeps posted on how they are

Goodyear Eagle F1s all round. 195 55 15 on the front and 205 55 15 on the rear. Eagle F1s are by far the best tyre for the money on the market right now, i still think that wil should have gone for them over Toyos

er i'm not sure they look like a bottle cap they are 14's they are riding on 195/60 14 cheapo rubber
they are rubbish and the sidewalls flex like a bitch
i will be trying to get hold of some 15mm spacers so i can fit a set of team dynamic tornado's i have in 15's
i will be spraying them black though as i hate cleaning wheels.
the wheels i will be fitting are only 6"width so i will be using 195 / 50 15's on these probably toyo ts-1 as the prices are so low at the minute

Dude you wont be disappointed, but the toyos need to be run at a high pressure because of their soft side walls.6potWil6pot wrote:Maybe u shoud have shown me what F1s can do in the wet!![]()

Alpina's are only common on this site, how many e30's do you see now with decent wheels apart from when u go to a meet?Dom wrote:Currently got the alpina reps with 215/40/17 Toyo Proxes, oh, and a stray Falken.

16" BBS cross spokes with 225/45/16 Goodyear F1's. Have to agree with andrew these tyres are tops.
18" BBS RSII's to be fitted soon but only till the weather improves. Still deciding on the tyres
