Wheel choices

Hey guys,
Bored with my Azev A's and rather than bother refurbing them i'm thinking of shifting them on as they are and getting different wheels, fancy a set of Borbet A's, but what other options are there out there? Black tech 2 sport by the way

Re: Price on s50 into an e30?

Hey guys, My 325i has been a bit sore on petrol lately (18 mpg) so i've checked all the usual suspects, tps, icv, fuel pipes, and all rubber boots. Everything seems in order except for the Blue coolant temp sensor, it's reading a resistance of 4.7k ohms when cold and 0.48k ohms when hot. From what i...

They are an animal on the juice but if you can afford £20 for 100 miles and less when you put the foot down then go for it! revving them is addicitve especially with a nice stainless steel line and this doesnt help mpg either!
