[Black Sabbath]

Miro ones for me :cool: :cool: ,that means everyone else will hate them again :p

[Dibberly]

i am really 50/50 on these 2...mainly because i cant decide whether to get a deep dish or not.

I think deep dish looks nice and eye catching...but the miro ones look so agressive....

[alexsh1]

I'd go for the 1st one!

[gie0320]

2nd one for me:)

[mr sideways]

Dotz mugello's for me.
Because i had them on my e36.

[paul46rider]

2nd ones for me, they look awesome as long at you can fit then in a nice low offset to get the dish

[Purvesh]

2nd ones...

[Dep]

Miro ones for me :cool: :cool: ,that means everyone else will hate them again :p
You have a complex there Mark! :D

[uberbmw]

2nd ones!:cool:

[jk330ci]

1st ones for me, Love the Dotz.

[SYE]

second ones for me, i dont think the off set is going to look as aggressive on a series though.

[Dibberly]

i have seen them both on the shelf...the garage said he can put both on for me to decide.

still think they both will look nice

[Purvesh]

What are the sizes/widths for the 2nd rims?

[Dibberly]

thanks for that lumus....

it makes it easier to make a comparison now, i do think the miro are slightly better...but for me its so close

[Dibberly]

after all that.....i am not 100% sure if the miro's would fit due to the wrong offset??

[m3tiko]

Si....like you said the lad will put the wheels on and then you can decide.

I do however like the 2nd ones...they look fantastic on that m5.

[Alym786]

2nd ones... They also look easier to clean! lol!

[Kay323]

........miro

[ShaanK]

will they fit the E46 too? worth looking into matey?

[MEGA]

I'm not 100% on the offsets. Only post them as they are cheap from that guy! Sure someone else can answer re: fitment...

[J1SUA]

1st ones are safe and look good, but after seeing that Photoshop I'd go with the 2nd ones, very nice

Wait until you get them on the car and decide

[arkenphel]

Miros.....

Cheers for the info...

The rear concave on the M5 looks so :cool: !

[XKaLiBaR]

2nd ones, but not sure how it will look on an e46? Looks awesome on the M5

[Anneka @ Sytner]

Miro's for me too, I think they look classier ;)

[Dibberly]

looks like the votes go for the miros....which i think would clinch it as there easier to clean....more expensive but worth it!!

Off to wheel mania in birmingham in the morning to have a nosey and see whats there...if nothing catches my eye...then off to the garage to get the miros as i have borrowed some wheels to get my car there

[don-v-]

Miros look stunning, mate as a matter of interest what garage has them as im interested in them for my E60, my Trafficstars are sold so need a new set of rims and these look perfect.

thanks

[mr sideways]

Is it just me that thinks the miros look cheap and tacky?

Good news is that the wheels looked awsome....and i mean awsome!!!!

Bad news is the only set he had was too wide :( He is gonna order some narrow ones in

The garage was one in Northampton called Scotts Tyres

I took some pics of them on and cant wait til the proper ones come in stock

[Dibberly]

Pictures of wheels.....(cars covered in dust due to building a new college opposite me :mad: )

[Neil McRae]

nice! maybe a little to low at the back for my taste but nice all the same.

[Black Sabbath]

Looks very nice :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:

[Dibberly]

nice! maybe a little to low at the back for my taste but nice all the same.

I have not lowered it...its still on standard suspension / springs

Could be due to the LPG tank in the boot??

[mr sideways]

I have not lowered it...its still on standard suspension / springs

Could be due to the LPG tank in the boot??
and the fact it has 2 roofs

[MEGA]

nice! maybe a little to low at the back for my taste but nice all the same.

Reversed. back perfect. Front TRACTORED lol. Get some sportline springs on the front ASAP!! :D

[gie0320]

That just looks so right! Keep those sizes and lower the front as mentioned :)

[SYE]

Is it just me that thinks the miros look cheap and tacky?


i think they look :cool: .

[rahrah]

stunning!..they remind me of breyton gts thingys...great choice fella!

[Dibberly]

Hi all

just a quick question....

The garage i went to for the wheels could not get them to fit as they were to wide...the actual wheel fitted ok but thewheel sat to wide so the tyre rubbed on the arch. The rears were 9.5 and fronts were 8.5 by 19"

i emailed another company that sells the exact same whell and there saying they can get them to fit my e46 perfectly...in exactly the same sizes??

What is the second company doing that the 1st on is not??

I am assuming that its got something to do with the offsets...on the 19x9.5 the offsets come in 40/20/33.

Will any of the offsets above fit my car 100% or is the comapny saying that they will fit just trying to get business??

Its a shame that the garage is along way away or i would go in

[alexsh1]

I am assuming that its got something to do with the offsets...on the 19x9.5
the offsets come in 40/20/33.


Everything has to be with the offset. For non-M3 E46 the offset 40 - you do not need to do anything. Offset 33 is aggressive (roll arches) and 20 is far too aggressive.

[Dibberly]

thanks alexsh1

i thought it had something to do with the offset....by the sounds of it the local garage had the 33...where i need the 40

So will the offset 40 go on 100% no probs??

What should the fronts be?

[alexsh1]

yes, I think for E46 non-M the cut off offset is 35 (or around it). On my E46 I had wheels with spacers giving me the offset of 37.

[alexsh1]

What should the fronts be?

I would go for something like 37-40 for fronts and rears.
Have a look at my wheels (offset 37):

http://www.shestakovsky.me.uk/pic/P1010437.JPG

[Dibberly]

cheers for that..

so if i go for a 19 x 9.5 with an offset of 40 that will fit ok

What's the ideal tyre size should i put on the rear??

I know the profile has to go from 35 to 30 as the wheel diameter has gone from 18 to 19" but just curious on tyre width

[alexsh1]

so if i go for a 19 x 9.5


For 9.5Jx19" you would go for 265/30/19 or 275/30/19 depending on alloys

[alexsh1]

BTW, if you have in front 8.5Jx19" then you'd go for 235/35/19

[Dibberly]

cheers...i will phone the local garage tomorrow and see what offset he had

So just to make sure everything is right for when i call.....

Rear: 9.5Jx19" offset 40 with a 265/30/19 tyre
Front: 8.5Jx19" offset 35 with a 235/35/19 tyre

[Dibberly]

BTW, if you have in front 8.5Jx19" then you'd go for 235/35/19

looks like your as a quicker typer than me!!

was i correct on the offset???

i have a choice of 15/32/35 for the front

Cheers buddy

[Dibberly]

Alloys have been ordered.

Local garage never got back to me despite calling him to remind him...had to go elsewhere who to be honest sounded like they knew what they were on about.

Just gotta wait now...hopefully next weekend i will go and collect them!!

[robinh20mrv]

i think The Miro Type 111 19 (imho)

[Dibberly]

The 2nd dealer is unable to get the Miro Wheels in 19" et40 :(

Looks like i am on the hunt again :( :( :(
