I have DS1s on my Ti and this past saturday I hit some debris in the road and ripped out the sidewall on one of my tyres. Limped the car along the shoulder for FIVE (5!) miles with a shredded tyres barely hanging on. Because the bead never seperated from the rim, the car rode on that instead of the aluminum. NOT A MARK on the rim at all. | | | 04-25-2007, 06:21 PM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 | They may be strong but my DS1s bent easily. They are also heavy as hell. __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 04-26-2007, 04:17 AM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Ma Posts: 176 | Is there a list or chart or anything that lists the different styles of rims with a picture along with it or anything of that sort?
