TSW Mallory wheels on my GT

Just thought I'd share a few photos of the newly fitted TSW Mallory 5 Wheels on Our GT that we got this summer...:-) Searched for a loooong time for a good alternative to the BMW alloys, Nice but unbelievably expensive here..
These are 18", the original 18"s Turbine style will become Winter Wheels With the EXCELLENT Nokian Hakkapelliitta R tyres fitted.

And yes I know, 19's look better, but not all the roads here are brilliant and marble smooth, so these are plenty big for me..
And I found that thinner and more plentiful spokes make the Wheels look a lot bigger than fat spokes. Take that as a tip of the day.

Sorry for the poor quality iOS Pictures !

Nice, looks great. If you don't mind how much did they set you back?

Not a bad price, about 1000euros + the tyres, and the wheels where specially ordered from TSW USA from the dealer to get the correct BMW bolt pattern and ET. No spacers needed! Best for summer only though, as the front is polished.. Nice bling factor :-)

Hi NorwegianE46,

Are you going with RF tire? I just wonder whether your 320 engine can load with 19'' wheel or not in case of using RF tire.

I determined to get 19'' M Wheel (598 stye) but so confuse which tire i should get between RF and Non RF ?

Anyways, your combo looks great.

Well.. These are the original RF tyres that came on the 18"s the car was delivered with this summer. Changed them over to the new TSWs and made the original wheels my winter set. As the car is not on M suspension the comfort is still good with RF. But I've got non RF on the winters, as the winter RF are not good enough, AND: they still need to be repaired, and they are very seldom in stock, so you risk a long wait even if you make it home.... An important point not many consider.
