10" Wide wheels for the winter. Lol Good Luck.

BBS look pretty good though. Get plenty wheel wax on them before you fit them on the car.

I want a wheel for the winter that still goes with the
look in going for and easy to maintain and not as
precious as the Style 5's

and these seem to fit the bill and hopefully the car wont
need to be used to much over winter as im looking for a
daily driver anyway so i dont think the 10s will be to
much of a problem,

I would be happy with a set of Borbet B's also!

But yeah im awaiting my center caps still then the wheels
will get waxed up, we're talking about giving them a
slight scuff back just the top coat to give a key to grip
to and going for another coat of laquar just to make sure
the wont get damaged with stonechips easly.

Ah that makes sense then.
When you said winter i thought you meant for using in the bad weather. 10" rims will be going nowhere in snow.

morning visit often lol) so i can have a beter look at
your car in the light this time, looks great in the pics

Update :

 

Unfortuneatly i wont be picking the car up till dinner time tomorrow due to the fact somthing that was supose to be ordered by bmw was not and wont be with us till tomorrow morning but,

After heering the car run kyle took the car out up and down the road last nite to check for any problems and said this morning that the M3 Mani conversion that i choose to have done is one of the best mods he's seen/done..  its the furst time he's been asked to do one and said it transforms the car completely, throttle responce and accelaration is unbeliveable, even compaird it to his own M3 and said it would easly keep up till 3rd and thats without the..

BBTB
M50 Inlet Conversion
Dave F
S50B30 Us Cams ETC..

So needless to say im happy just cant wait to have the rest of the work done now and see what gains i get from those!

Couple pics of the wheels :

Bit stretch and poke..

Its great that its flying along and everything is working cool but have to be honest, I dont like the stretching of the tyres, I know its "Euro" style or something, just think it would look better with straight walls and fat tyres. The main thing is that you like them but so dont listen to me.

I am however most impressed that a young chap like yourself took on such a project, so Well done bud.

Thanks cambell!

Yeah people think its a euro thing to have stretch tyres, but to be honest there stretched on the wheels for a reason and the main reason is these wheels are not made for this car so the offset and width make them hard to fit to lowered cars.. so by stretching the tyres it gives you more room to play with and keep the car as OEM as possible without having arches made wider and such like this way they just need rolled!

When i get a chance and steve is not busy am going to ask him very kindly to take some rolling video's and pictures of mine and his car together as he's the man for that kinda stuff !

Looking very nice mate, those wheels look spot on!

But I have to ask, are those lights even legal being that dark, and are they still as bright at night??Just curious, not being picky.
