Decision on wheels and tires...

[egg666]

Hi All,

Can't wait to get my Space Grey 35i in 2 weeks time.

Unfortunately the dealer here in Hong Kong don't offer any choice, we can only have v-spoke 257 19" as standard, therefore I need to get the 20" set seperately.

I particularly like 214 but also tempted to go for Breyton Race GTS, anyway this is easy to resolve.

My dilemma is: Should I go for same tire size for Front and Rear (275/40R20), or should I go for the popular and cool Front 275 and Rear 315/35R20?

Some say 315 to too big for 35i's power and will drag down the performance!

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

i will go for 275 front and 315 rear...that looks much better and powerfull,and i guess that is what are you looking for...20 inches!!!try style 259 or 214,both are great and more than good looking on x6!
however if you are choosing between 2 alloys,that you have posted,then i will go for darker version.
performance will be drag down,but not as much as you think..maybe 1% he he...you wont feel it at all!!

Not bad for style 259! Difficult decision now!!!!!!!!!

Yes I have the same. Oyster Nevada with Bamboo. Originally I want to go for Saddle brown with flywheel trim but again the dealer here said it will delay the delivery (!)

Anyway Oyster looks nice!!
