Wheels - Pushing the limit

[Mafulat]

Woh nice rim there. So irresistible. The poison is so strong and slowly and surely will get infected. I wonder for how long my car will remain stock. Cannot tahan already.

I was going about my research a month back in the hopes of slowly building up knowledge of pricing/availability of the type of wheels and tyres in town. Original plan was to swap out the stock set towards the end of the year as the tyre tread was nearing the indicator.

Past few day's been raining and I hit a small puddle and skidded/aquaplaned running at about 80kph, this triggered an accelerated search but ended up stumbling upon this super hot deal of 2 days old wheel + tyre combo. Dropped in Eibach pro-kit too as I was previously more familiar with its characteristics.

Not fighting the poison much, but the choice is clear with the stupid aquaplaning stunt.

No wonder the gap between the tyre and fender looks narrower. How's the ride and handling with the Eibach pro kit? Do you have clearance problem over speed bump and basement car park? Is the floating feeling when traveling at high speed reduced? I am considering the m performance kit but the high price is putting me off.

The ride on 19" and eibach's surprisingly good, not too harsh, wife's not complaining so it's a big plus point. Slight dropped would mean scraping the bottom when going over kinabalu type speed bumps, no escape for that. Can't plough through bumps anymore, gentle ride over will eliminate most but not all. F30's got decently short front over hangs, so most ramps are ok, just don't be a hero la. Front PDC's got a better view of kerbs now that it's slightly lower.

High speed stability's good, no complains, less bounce, more butt to ground feel for sure. Again, not harsh. I've not tried H&Rs but general consensus on forums is that H&R's a little harder than Eibachs.
