These are my problem rings that I posted about a whie ago. I don't know what they should look like, so are these going to fit after all, or should there be a bevelled edge or something??

Dave (touring) if you are reading, this is just to check before I come over

Yeah they should definately have a beveled edge dude, not much hope of fitting them and looking good without.

There's a chap on ebay in Germany who does them for about Ԛ£20, top product too.

I can't see your ones looking much good or being very easy to fit. Where did you get them?

a german guy on ebay!! i'm emailing him at the mo cos im sure he must have sent me the wrong ones. Been chatting to dave about them and his came from the link that was up on the zone ages ago amatering.de or something like that. They look very different, so either this guy knocks them up himself in a little fookin shed and expects them all to fit or he's sent me the wrong ones, will find out!!

They are s/s with a chrome side and cost about Ԛ£16 so i thought i'd got a top product for very little dough. They look really good so if only they were the right shape i'd be chuffed! o well, hopefuly they are just the wrong ones, PITA to post back to Germany though!!

Sounds like the same chap amaturenring.de???

He's sent you the wrong ones, the proper E30 ones look top-notch, you won't be dissapointed.

yeah dave's are definitely from the same guy but mine came from a guy called Thomas Seifert!! Dave's gonna have a look this afternoon but I have a feeling I will be sending them back and getting what you suggest adam, especially as the currency works pretty well in our favour now. No way gonna pay Ԛ£40+ like you see in some of the adverts in TBMW!!
