Ok..New Wheels eventually!

[Graham330cisport]

Got my new wheels on Friday expecting them to fit no problem :rolleyes:
But.....with my BBK the rear wheels were catching the calipers. I nearly decided to sell them but thanks to a good friend of mine (Oli) I tried some 3mm spacers and I think they look good.
Anyway, I took some quick pictures just to show you all.
Some of you may recognize the wheels in a different guise :D

The rims are Mirror Black and the spokes are Silverstone II
Now everybody knows I have a Stoptech BBK!!

They are there bud??

[Hserce]

Very Niiccee...

[mike 318is]

they are now

[gie0320]

Very nice..Yep I recognise them from somewhere...I think they use to be in Blue:D

[SYE]

not sure, i think there need to be seen in the flesh, the blackness of the lip is clashing with the tyres making the tyres look larger in the photos.

are these staying on for the ring mate.

I'll have to wait and see Sye, don't know if I'm 100% sure I love them yet. They do look the nuts in the flesh though!

makes your wheels look a lot smaller? very unique tho:)

[mikem]

I like them, I think :confused: they look better the more I look at them and the Black lips will be easy to look after (if you stay away from curbs :D ) but I prefer polished lips and a dark centre.

I think the car pulls it off with the splitter and the roof mate. ;)

Put a thread up on Mtorque for a laugh. :p

Kin hell Mike, I couldn't cope!!

[S4J]

The wheels are nice, one idea to enhance them might be to put a colour matched outed ring on the edge of the lip so that it stops the wheels looking smaller than they actually are.

I'll try and find a pick to show you what I mean.

Here you go, this is what I was talking about:-

Totally agree bud, I was told it coud not be done :(

I'd be up for it let me know how to go about it :p

[arkenphel]

S4j's idea sound good. They look a bit small with the black lip and don't do your car or the wheels justice. Just my 2p's worth.

[Black Sabbath]

Time attack looks better imo,although the wheels look good anyway :cool: :cool: :cool:

[mystic sport]

Very brave mate, I am undecided. I think this is the kind of look that hits you when you see it in the metal. I don't think the pictures do it justice so I am looking forward to seeing it properly ;) . As I said mate, very brave, not sure I would have the balls to do that.

I bloody hate mtorque, elitist snobs that can't accept an owners choice to mod their precious M!!

Here here!!

[Amuro]

I like it. Something different from what we normaly see. Well done mate..:)

[Alym786]

I like them too... Great choice! But prob look better in the flesh!

[S4J]

Totally agree bud, I was told it coud not be done :(

Oh it can be done, you just need to take it to the right people, shame you weren't in Scotland, could have recommended someone who would have been able to do it for you.

[huzi7]

I'm not feeling them mate. Sorry :(

[uberbmw]

Looks mean as hell mate! Love it.

[SYE]

on closer inspection what color are the centres are they silver or moon stone blue.

agree with the others and think the time attack would bring the whole look together, a sign writer friend of mine managed to me off a complete 19" stick on time attack rings, only i had it done in black and it left me with the dilemma it blended in with the tyre, plus it was a pain to stick on, but i think with the right colour and some patience s it would have looked good.

Sye centres are Silverstone II same as my car

[Raj]

Liking them a lot, but they do look a lot smaller than they should be.

i couldnt see that at first in the pics they looked silver;) .

[Mehmet]

Are they 20's? the car and mods look stunning but not to sure on the wheels. (sorry)

i think 9jx19 fronts and 11jx19 rears in BBS guise would look better

[phat///M3]

Get a time attack ring on there, any competent paintshop should be able to pinstripe them.

[westside]

thye look good at least yours fitted my iforged didnt fit over my BBK's I have shipped them back to Iforged and hopefully there get it right this time.

Wheels look good though dude!

[Mah_c180]

I like the wheels but i reckon if they the colours were reversed. ie the lip was colour coded and the centres in black...

Enjoy

[Moe]

Do the time attack and get smaller back tire and they will be perfect

oh and the car needs to be lower

[zarnd]

I like them Graham. Don't worry about putting a thread up on MTorque, we'll get RutCOCKface to come over here and see them :D

cheers

[FullHouse]

look awesome Graham, but it defo needs a very mild drop and shit loads of tyre paint, but overall i am glad you got them to fit, great job pal

[Graham330cisport]

Cheers Raj, I was very unsure on Saturday but washed and polished my car today and when the wheels are polished they look the nuts mate!

The refurb guy could have refurbed the inside of the wheels don't you think ?

Cheers, Graham

[FullHouse]

he could have mate, but he wanted another £50 per wheel and the costs was going up so much it was almost to the point of financial suicide for me.

[Graham330cisport]

Ahh, its only a couple of hands of cards to you bud :D :D

No worries, thanks for everything ;)
