Thats the same style as Borbet & Ronal, go to http://www.raceandroad.com - www.raceandroad.com and click on the link for 'see these wheels on your car'.
BMBitz's site used to do it too. ------------- Gentlemen I may not have a brain but I do have an idea Past; E39 540T/E46 328CI/ E39 535/ E39 520/ E36 M3/ E36 318iS jet black Mtech/ E46 320d/ E36 318iS diamond black/ E36 318iS blue Mtech kit |

You cant go wrong with 18" M Parallels on an E39 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2003-BMW-530D-SPORT-AEGEAN-EDITION-A-BLUE_W0QQitemZ4592786550QQcategoryZ9837QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2003-BMW-530D-SPORT-AEGEAN-EDITION-A-B LUE_W0QQitemZ4592786550QQcategoryZ9837QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ 1QQcmdZViewItem Not my car I hasten to add, but the M Parallels look great.

Yep totally agree. Any idea of an average price on a good second hand set, ideally with rubbers.? ------------- 96 E39 523i SE 2001 E46 2.2 S.E silver black leather |

On Fleabay they tend to go for around £700 a set. There are replicas around, some of which are good quality (TUV approved ??) and im sure there are people lurking on the forum who can provide advice on the best ones. The M Parallels are wider at the rear normally (front 235/40/18, rear 265/35/18) however you can put 235/40/18's on all round with the replicas. Makes the tyres quite a bit cheaper in the long run as the 265's are a bit pricey !! |
