Mineral Grey F30 on Vorsteiner VFF103s and KW V1s

Geoff.T · 09-27-2015, 09:18 PM

I finally got around to taking some pics of my current setup. The wheels are Mystic black Vorsteiner Flow Forged VFF103s in 20x8.5in and 20x10in. Tires are 235/30R20 and 275/25R20 Nitto Invos. The reason why I went with such a low profile tire is to retain the factory rolling diameter. Suspension is KW V1 coilovers. Overall, the ride is similar to the original run flats. Pot holes and uneven pavement are pretty scary with this setup though.

I'm on the fence to swap out the chrome grills for black ones. I think the chrome grills flow better with the headlights but black grills will match the shadow line trim and wheels so much better.

I say keep the chrome grill, it flows alot better with the headlights. I see way too many black out rims and grills BMW out there, seems like every Bimmer you see are the same. Doesnt stand out anymore.

Looks good.

Those sidewalls are indeed small but if you can pull it off, then why not.

I went with 235/35R20 and 275/30R20 to provide some additional sidewall. There isn't a good combo that provides the same 26" diameter, it's either -1.7% & -2.3% (your combo) or +1.8% & +1.9% (mine). Though there aren't many choices in that size. Either Pirelli or MPSS which are basically impossible to get.

Looks perfect!!

OP, based on your first post, are you saying the V1 coils ride is similar to MSport suspension + run flats? Also, is there more adjustment to raise the car?

Correct. 20" wheels, super low profile tires, and V1s ride very similar to stock. I can adjust it up about a half inch from where it's at now.

Perfect. Just the kind of feedback I was needing to hear.
