As some of you who've seen the pics will know the banana has some new rims :) Well after umming and ahhing for a while on what wheels to go for I came across these on pistonheads. Got them for an absolute steal and with some FK452's now in place im chuffed to bits. Only problem is cleaning is a bitch and kerbs are like the antichrist to me. Still, I think you'll agree a marked improvment over the OEM items :D ?Hmm 4" dish drool :cool: Will post some close up pics later when I downloa them form the camera. Oh and dont ask about the axe I have no idea myself LOL

Yeah I wanted something different especially following on from Litchy's thread about being different. Didn't wnat to go donw the BBS route as nice as they are :)

They are 10J at the rear :eek: Know what you mean though look better in the flesh. A drop is on the carsds but I dont really want to go for eibach pro as I think it may spoil the handling. Which leaves coilies and another chat with the bank manager....

yea the width is fine but the actual rim size looks small. maybe you just need a drop. but still looks good.

Very Nice Wheels Jay, they look like the same i had once on my M, think from memory they called Veloce, put a little drop and 10mm spacers and they sit perfectly mate, pic of mine, minus the drop and spacers though, but cool dish.
PS i am still waiting for my install

Dam it Raj. Thought id be the only one. Your correct they are Veloce. Did you not get any rubbing with the spacers ? They seem to stick out quite a bit as is.
By the way you have PM :)

No rubbing mate, but was seriously tight. Did the guy you brought them from have a black M3 by any chance, as far as the security thing, any day any time your ready
