i was trying to drift and lost the wheelspin to both wheels as my diff is too week for the dry .

has anyone got a black bmw steel wheel i can have.

embaresing i know . as ive done it twice now . but this time i had rubbish tires not good ones and thought it would make the difference

Perhaps you need some practice in a safer envirionment. lots of places around do car control courses

sorry . yeh ive got an lsd and a 2.5 but i had this problem b4 when i had 205 15s and toyos
i blamed the tires beeing to sticky and too much for the diff to cope with
but i put steel wheels on with naff tires afterwards witch worked a treat . but my diff doesnt hold the lock very well now so now ive learnt i need a lsd that works.

wide rounderbout too . with angled curbs

but hey its sods law . i had just fixed loads of other bits on the car so bound to break something
