Hey ali, Just been talking to yasser. He sent me a pic of your car with the wheels on. Im thinking of the same to be honest. I think he showed you a pic of my car which he took whilst he was down. Gona get some pics up soon. Whats this poorboys wheel sealant mand why do you need it. Are the wheels polished and do they have laquer on them?

Mate those wheels look wicked! You must of been grinning all the way to work. By the way you can get the chrome windscreen trim from BMW for about a tenner and a cheap tool to do it on eBay, makes a hell of a difference!!

I do like the look of them but like a few have said, because of the curve out to the centre they don't look like the bbss's. Anyway, I'm contemplating wether I should get I'm. I've got a few sets so gona try them first.

I'm planning to buy a set of these rims and put my tyres on, however I'm running 17" alpina reps with 205/40/17 tyres would these tyres fit ok or would they be over stretched?

205 Would be a stretch fit but look good. Mine is 215 and its lowered so my arches are filled up good.

I don't like cab's normally. They just don't do it for me. That's one of the nicest I have seen. Love the colour and the wheels. Agree with the southen fairy though, needs to come up 10mm at the rear.
