Did you speak with timX5 above?

I've had a couple of messages of Weve33 and he suggested my wheels and £250 to him in exchange for his wheels , my tyres are Bridgestone Duelers with 6000 miles under them so very little wear , I'm thinking that my wheels and tyres must be worth a grand + what do you folks think.

I appreciate that Weve33 tyres are quality tyres but will not have as much wear life in them in comparison with mine .

Tim

P's hope Weve33 didn't mind me posting what the offer was , just looking for advice /comments.

He is the one that wants the change because of the ride so it is what value that is to him.

If yours are in good nick I would say straight swap.

How much difference between the two would you think the ride would be , can't be a massive amount , has anyone tried swoping the wheels to find out.

well as said its titled swap, id say put them for sale if people think there worth a grand, you've got to bear in mind now that for 6k you get an x5 with them wheels now and also the 20s just arn't popular with the youngsters

I don't mind at all Tim, more input the better as I don't really know the value etc.

Would be happy with straight swap, but like you said does it improve the ride quality going from 20 to 19?

I only assume it does cause the tyres on the 19 will be thicker than the 20...

I can definately say the ride quality is better on the 19" wheels and tyres than the 20",s.
I have a set of 333 style 20" wheels with NON rfts fitted that ive had on my E70 M sport 3.0sd for a good year.
I got hold of a set of 19" wheels and tyres [NON rft,s] for winter use, and can say the ride is a lot smoother.
BUT
The steering respose is a little less. As the tyre wall is softer....
I suppose its a small trade off for comfort.
Although i will be refitting my 20",s once they been refurbed and the weather warms up...

Thanks for the offer Weve33, I've being giving the offer a lot of thought and I may live to regret this but I'm gonna decline, the reason been is that I don't really want the ride to be any harder than it already is , I tow a 24ft caravan quite a lot in the summer time and it can be uncomfortable, even considered ditching the air suspension for springs to soften it a little bit .

Cheers Tim

That's cool mate, I've decided to keep it now. I took an x5 for a test drive on 19s and they felt the same lol
