NM RSe07 Rims Review, pictures, and is it worth the $

Hello,

I am asking for anyone who as Black NM RSe07. To post pictures on your ride along with tire specs. I am debating on buying these for my JCW R56 2010.

-Are the Rims worth the cost.

- I would be switching from crown blacks 17s with Dunlop tires
to Michelin SS with the NM RSe07 18inch

Looking for better look with the JCW calipers and brembo brakes, Reduce sound of tires, better handling, and easier to clean rims.


Thanks guys
any other rim suggestions throw them my way looking for the Black rims

Easier to clean than crown spokes? Those are some of the easiest wheels to clean I've ever had.

If you want to make them even easier to clean, get some new low dust brake pads.

As for worth it? If you are planning to keep runflat tires, I wouldn't go with 18's...

I'm eyeing up these rims as well. From what I've found, these NM's are some of the lightest 18" rims out there for that price. Matched up with a good pair of tires they would look/ perform pretty sweet. Everyone likes the Breytons, but they're a lil heavy IMHO, not to mention alot of ins and outs to keep clean. I like the look of the Breytons, but the new multi spoke NM rim is lighter still with kinda the same look. Post up some pics if/ when u get them.
