14" BBS/Mahle wheels

The 14" BBS/Mahle wheels will look great on a coupe, I used to have a set on my former E3. The big problem here in the U.S. market is that in the stock tire size, 195/70-14 performance tires are going the way of the dinosaur. Tire Rack only sells one H rated tire in this size (Sumitomo). Lack of tire availability is why I sold my 14" Alpina's. Only one manufacturer still makes a 225/60-14 tire and that tire is geared toward the muscle car market. In the Euro market, plenty of H rated tires are available in stock E3/E9 size. I recently scored some 15" old school BBS RA wheels that I'll run 205/60-15 when my stock 195/70-14 tires were out. There is a much better tire selection available in 15".
