Advice on changing rims

[bond8855]

hi bros,getting my car next week... so looking into changing the rims and springs... already surveyed the market and got a set of rims i'm interested in...before that, need to know roughly how many of you changed your rims to aftermarket ones right after taking delivery of your car...reason being i'm still having nagging thoughts about the warranty related to the suspension of the car (read some posts about steering rack issues, etc)...or should i drive around for a few weeks and if there's no rattling / knocking sounds then only do i change the rims and springs?any help is much appreciated....thanks.... :top:

Make sure the wheels is made for your car and the offset is correct. Avoid using spacer for the installation. Good luck.

if ure worried about warranty, i think its better to keep the car as it is for now. ^_^

If u intend to use the Homura rims on the F30 the problem u will face is that the lug nut head is too short n thus the socket used to open the nuts will scratch the rim. Also the lock nut cant be used.

Thanks for the heads up bro...

If you intend to use RFT, make sure the aftermarket rims support it.

IMO the second rim looks bigger and more garang than the first.

Good choice. So is it 18 or 19? And care to share how much you pay for it?
