Horray! Finally arrived just in time for winter... getting them installed today

Congrats! I'm getting the 18" version of these for my F31 when it arrives. They look great!

Thanks!

These are 235/35/19x9 and 265/30/19x10. Need to sort out coilover options, maybe in the spring.

So here's something to take note of. Took them to my wheel guy to get mounted and he said the hub center is wrong and they won't mount. Sure enough when we hold the wheel up they don't fit. I take them home and contact the vendor (MB...) who says I need to sand off the excess PC and clean off the hub. Their Powder Coater has a couple of issues - enough to make me not ever want a PC wheel ever again.

Today I (finally, after so many years) bought a jack and a torque wrench (will need them for track days eventually) and did as explained and they seemed to fit a little better. Front right I had to thread the lug bolts and work the wheel on a bit. Front left went on a little easier. Ran out of daylight..

Little test drive went well, only issue was I forgot to take the stickers off the tyres.

P.S. One other note is that I would have liked to go with Vredesteins instead of the Michelins... at least there is always next time though. I've noticed that the Michelins have a big tendency to squirm as squabble when the road has ruts and cracks where as the Vredesteins just squat, especially in high speed turns. Much more confidence and better feedback, in my completely amateur opinion.

Was the above driving feedback and theory based on driving on tires so new, the stickers were still on the tires ?

Brand new tires should not be pushed immediately, they have a break in, just like a brand new motor.

Give it some time.

It was based on previous Pilot Sports. Haven't pushed these yet and won't until they're worn a bit. Definitely interested to see what the PSS feel like, but I've been pretty much completely swooned by the Vredesteins.

Had to file down the inside of the rears..



The rears... so nice!

Looking good. I would love a half inch or one inch drop. I like the roof rack too. Does it make much wind noise?

Not annoying, but definitely noticeable. Glad they changed the "race bike" mount, the one on the passenger side is a mega-POS.

The CF5Vs look amazing! They go great with the lines of the car.

Put the centercaps in and post some other photos
