Hi guys,

At some point (a long while ago, maybe when the AW70L was swapped in), the PO of my 740GLE replaced the rims with 15" TRW 5-spoke aluminum rims. They look snazzy.

The speedometer seems properly adjusted (except for a jitter below 15mph - I figure this is electrical).

I understand that this car shipped with smaller wire-spoke rims. What potential issues/side effects might come from larger rims? The larger (195/70 r15) tires grip the road nicely, but that might be the reason my mileage is still on the low side.

Any transmission/drivetrain stress issues?

Thanks,

Ari
