[QUOTE="Zul, post: 587618, member: 173"] Hi bro ezzo369, I can feel some difference in the handling and pick-up of the car. I can easily spin the tyre with the HRE compared to stock. The handling also improved. Now that car is back on Hamann Edition Race 20". I like the design of the Hamann. But definitely the pick-up are affected. As most people said the bigger the rim U'll lost the pickup. Bigger rim only for show. On the M3 may be not so affected because enough power to get the car move. Can still spin the tyre up to 2nd gear but with the HRE I can spin till 3rd gear. However IMO the car felt more stable with the 20" on cornering and high speed (rear tyre 295/25). That is why now I'm back with 20" on the Jerez Black 6-MT. I would prefer good aftermarket rims, forged, 3-piece but they are expensive. Sorry to say that I'm not keen on Taiwan-made because I don't think it is proven to be strong. I don't want to have broken rims at >200 kh/h run. If not then I'll stick to ori BMW rims. Don't know how long my Frozen Grey DCT will last with the ori rims, might change it later but mind saying keep ori/stock. Enough changing with the Jerez Black 6-MT. [/QUOTE]
