New GS Spider Wheels..
Anyone has any opinions on the new Spider wheels? That option costs $2400. I'm wondering
I could save alot of money by purchasing after market wheels (e.g., BBS, ENKEI, etc.). Any
suggestions?
Thanks,
JM

18" wheel upgrade include tires
The $2450 wheel/tire upgrade includes the tires. The Spyder wheels at Sewell are a good deal. I recommend the Bridgestone Potenza, Michelin Pilot and the Yokohama. Don't forget that the tire pressure sensor/valve stems will be needed from the original rims. Don't break 'em because they are expensive little devils.

any tire shop can easily mount them?
I have owned Michelin Energy, Pilot and Yokohama on my BMW. My first set was Energy then
I tried Pilot and Yokohama. I don't really like Pilot and Yokohama much. They are fine when they
are new but it is noticebly bumpier than the Energy. The Energy tire is last longer and quieter
but costs alot more. I think I'll go with the Energy tire.
