The only thing bad about the rims is the paper thin tires. No disrespect, or anything, but won't your performance be cut really short with such low profiles? They don't last very long, and they're pretty expensive. Am I wrong? The rims themselves look pretty sharp. I like your ride, too. It's pretty clean.

Can't have your cake and eat it too....Meaning, in my case my wheels mean alot to the look of the car, so if I have thinner tires and have to watch potholes etc, it's ok with me, it's worth the tradeoff when necks snap when they see that staggered lip!

The rims look pretty good. I guess I would just be paranoid about a blowout (and damaging the rims), maybe I shouldn't be. Are the tires pretty safe? I had a blowout right after I bought my 325ix, hence my concern for tire strength.
