You should be able to get away with those... Just make sure you get the converter rings to bring the hub size down from 74.1mm to 72.4mm -------------

Yeah, they really suit a 30 year old car design - not.
Absolutely bloody horrible, how to ruin a nice looking car. I'd rather suffer Metrics, at least they look proper. Oh well.

They will need hubscentric rings. Not my personal choice of wheels as they are quite modern. I prefere a period wheel, but they will work fine. James -------------  Sunday 10th July Brooklands Sharkfest and Big Coupe Day. http://635csi.mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/ - Coupe Events

18's. I was hoping for some older style. I think they will look better than the botched picture above, but as per many on here, not my first choice. Money dictates the car even being on the road, and the other real option was some z3 smooth 5 spokes!. I had been looking at some deep dish split rims, but cost just went too high, and that would leave every other area of the car neglected. As it is i can now afford to do some repairs to the car generally (myself), and get the shocks and springs sorted, missing window motor. see the full list here: - http://www.335itc.co.uk/635csi.htm - http://www.335itc.co.uk/635csi.htm I will have my trx's up for sale. worthless with no tyres i know. i have 1 legal limit, 2 very good (+5mm i think), and another 3>4mm. all wider 240's. Spigot rings should arrive today, so i hope the get them fitted. The centres will need a re-spray soon, so i was thinking of doing these a few shades darker. I think this may help them "blend" a little better. ------------- www.335itc.co.uk Its gonna be finished for summer!!! thats the plan!!!
