BBS machined with matte graphite accent. Better ride, less jarring over bumps and undulations.

Switched from 19" Englishtowns to 18"x9" RPF1 mainly because I was getting tired of the jarring ride quality. The benefits of cutting unsprung weight/adding sticky rubber and the aesthetics of the new stance made it happen. I'm also loving the metallic silver against Oryx White when it's all clean. Could not be happier.

Nice move. Soon I'm really looking forward to a similar change for my ride.

I hate the 19's, for one bad roads feel like they are going to destroy the tires, and bought mine lowered and they rub slightly, I jumped on the Apex group buy and goin down to 17's.

It looks better good choice!
I went to a 17 for my winters. A lot less jarring for sure. Will go to an 18 when I lower the car.

What did you do with your Englishtowns?

I feel like I want to go this route after destroying 2 of my wheels. One in Iowa (Construction zone) and one in Ohio (Construction zone).. You would think they would make sure the road they give you to drive on is good when they decide to tear up the rest of it...

Still have them and am actively looking to sell. Currently on Goodyear Eagle Exhilarates and come with a set of Sumitomo HTR ZIII.
