    Do you still have the nav screen? If so are you still looking for $350 shipped for it? Have you gotten your 5.0? Damn... even the new V6 it tempting... until I think about the 5.0..

    Your option on new set-up.

    On a MS6 at 80mph it is worse than that... more like 5-7mph difference. Checked by GPS on a 1,200 mile trip. Additionally... tire and wheel manufacturers don't recommend a 225/40 18 tire on 18x7 (stock MS6 and MS3) wheels. It'll fit... I have a set of winter tires like that, but it's not...

    Thinking hard about replacing my MS3 with...

    Personally... 135 over a 335 anyday. on average the 335 will cost more. The interior is but ass ugly design. I really can't stand the design. Exterior... I'll give you that... I do like the exterior. But I like the 135. It's more of a classic BMW shape... like the e36, 2002... Not a fan...

    Looking at some Enkei RSO5 wheels

    Ditto. I've got Rotas on my MS6 and they have survived Michigan roads. Trust me... they are easily in the top 10 worst in the US. More potholes than the moon has craters. I've got Rota GR-A/Tarmac II http://www.machiii.net/wheels/groupa.html...

    New Enkei Wheels

    Stock is 18x7 ET55 RX-8 wheels are 18x8 ET50 Enkei FD-05 are 18x7.5 ET53 Rota GR-A/TarmacII are 18x7.5 ET48 All of these fit. Generally anything over ET45 will fit without rubbing if you run 225/45, 225/40, or 215/45 tires.

    Need some help finding these alloys

    Depends on if you want 17" or 18" wheels. After that... if you like 5 star (like your old ones) or more spokes for your wheels. After that... color... You get the drift. Try looking at what some people have on their cars in the members wheels thread for some ideas.

    Comparo: 225/40 vs. 215/45

    I've got a set of winter tires in 225/40 and I don't recommend them. During a recent drive from MI to FL I checked my speedo against my GPS and yeah... at 60mph the % different isn't a big deal, but by 80mpg there is a big difference. My speedo read 80mph, but my GPS said about 71mph. And of...
