    Two big decisions for the BMW 330 ZHP ...

    Decisions which require the help of those who know/care:

    1. Summer tires are absolutely finished. Once the winters go on, I've got the whole winter to buy new summers. Seems like I can spend over a grand and get amazing tires, or spend around $700 and get okay tires that are pretty good for the $.

    2. My stock wheels are beat up like a cheap hooker who doesn't pay her pimp on time. My choices are:
    - VMR CSL reps (I love 'em) in 18x8.5 all around or wider in the back. Offset ideas?
    - Refinish my 135s.

    I love the stock wheels and a stock look, hence the CSL reps should I go that direction. I'm not worried about weight or rotating mass since this is my DD.

    So, what say you?

    Refinish. DIY -or- find a good place that will do them for @ $75 a wheel. Thats what I did and they literally look brand spankin new. Very happy. Good luck either way.

    I think that's the way I'm leaning.

    That's the verdict! Gonna keep the 135s and look for some good refinishing options. I go back and forth on tires by the minute.

    I think it was Eli that said the Nitto Invo tires are supposed to be alright and they are pretty cheap.

    Are you going to go with the stock tire sizes also?

    PS2s for the best compromise price no object.
    Z1s for the best handling & tied for best rain performance.
    Hankook V12s for the best bang for your buck.
    Continental DW for the quietest, smoothest, and lightest tire that is still very high performance.
