Avoiding the pot holes is easier said than done...Specially at night or an area you are not familiar with...

Looking at the background scenery on the pictures appears to be in the BX or Brooklyn. Avoid Cross Bronx/FDR or Brooklyn's road all together.

Do you have any other mods plan??

You are brave indeed to ride on 22's with so little rubber within the 5 boroughs. I find that even on the ///M Sport 20's, the ride can be a little harsh in certain parts of the NYC area.... even in comfort+.
I still think that my old X6 in 22's handled the harsh road conditions better than the GC, but as long as you are enjoying the ride, have fun and stay safe!

Not so difficult if you're looking for 'herbal' substances, you'll find a few in those places

This may be a very bad episode of pimp my ride!

I am sorry but in my opinion the wheels do not suit the car.

What size are those rims? 2pc or 3pc? Do you mind letting me know where you got them? I am looking for 22x9 / 22x10.5 for my 2012 650i convert
