hey, congrats! BBS CH's! nice! got plenty of room under those spokes for some mega brakes! :D

have you found someone to refurb the wheels? I know one guy in reading who is very good, done my original m5 (chrome shadow) ones! [hiya

Seems like everyone's changin their alloys now.. hmm..I wonder .. [read

Har5ha

Thank you..

Basically was going to go to the guy who did Durgesh's type 3s...he charges about 50 pounds a rim..and is based in kensington.

Reading is soo far...the guy we bought it from (Duncan) said it was like 25 pounds a rim out there in Surrey..might be worth driving quite far to do all four!

Afif

25-01-2005, 12:05 AM

nice one :D. All this rim changing! Im waiting a while before the rim change ;). I REALLY likes those deep dish bbs ones or those 5 spoke acs ones (fogot the model). Need to find some cheap replicas ;). The student life doesnt really pay for real ones :D.

Just came back from Surrey followed by Nandos...

Went to go and pick up BBS CH's 18s...

They are lying downstairs in the garage..need to refurbish them..and once the new tyres arrive..put them on my car!!

:) :)

Thought I should share that with u guys...
Nice one harsha, you have good taste just like me and nick. ;)
how much you got it for if you don't mind me asking?
does it include tyres as well?
the guy who tint our windows said he knows a mobile guy who is good and does the refurb for £20 a wheel.

Har5ha

25-01-2005, 07:48 AM

Got the rims for 325...not including tyres of course...we went to a farm to pick them up!! Was an intresting experience..

Have ordered Michelin Pilot Sport 2s..Gonna put them one once the tyres arrive...

Rossi..first we both had Nick's old rims...now we all both have chs...! Do u think this guy who does them for 20 is good?? Don't want to risk ruining them...But if you could get me his details would be great..will give him a call and see what he says!!

:cool:

Now let's see who's got the deepest rear dish :cool: :cool: :cool: ....... :D

Afif

25-01-2005, 08:26 AM

Its taken me 1 and a half year..before...I managed to change my rims Afif...seriously keep an eye out and try and get a deal on some originals..Sometimes when people are changing cars they need cash desperatly and sell cheap! But mind u..u have expensive taste..I think u r talking about LMs and type 4s..which I LOVE!

damnit! [bang I can probably get them cheaper in germany but its still to much though! ill keep an eye out for a good deal!. Need to represent the 4 pots with some slick rims [jam.

25-01-2005, 08:59 AM

Well done girl.

Pepper, i know you will have deeper dish, harsha has skinny wheels ;) (she will love me for that)

But you know you will never beat my rear dish's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

here u go from ebay..maybe a bit cheaper if you speak to them directly as they don't have to pay ebay fees etc! :o

Ali

25-01-2005, 01:29 PM

Afif,

Its all about the 4 pots with rims that are nearly worth half as much as the car itself! :)

Afif

25-01-2005, 03:04 PM

Harsha - Thanks. I cant tell if its just the bad pic but the replicas colour is to off :(.

Ali - [jam Some of the rims i like are worth more than half my cars sale value :eek:.

I really like these, but without the bolts around the edge...very nice! [cool

I really like these, but without the bolts around the edge...very nice! [cool

Dude..its all about the bolts...shame i can't afford any!!!

The BBS are now waiting at the garage...for the tyres to arrive before they get put on and then refurbish later.

I was told that if they are put in the oven then the lacquer does not peel and the places that do it cheaper don't do that...

was quoted 50 plus vat a rim though :eek:

Afif

U just have to rub in in mate....

Am getting excited over my standard 18s..and u are bringing up ur custom made 19s...!!!!

They are just far too pimp!!! I'll bet the pic doesn't even do them justice and will be even pepper in the flesh (or metal)!

Har5ha

25-01-2005, 09:49 PM

yup..over 200 pounds to get them refurbed..but don't wanna get it done...and have the lacquer peel off soon after..

gonna put the rims on the car as soon as I get the tyres and allign it..then will ponder the refurb..depending on cash flow situation!!!

Afif

25-01-2005, 10:13 PM

25-01-2005, 10:41 PM

LOL.. nah man.. bolts look good on certain wheels mainly with the deep dish lip though... like Durgs new wheels (very nice! [jam

But cos the TypeIV's don't have the lip around the edge, the bolts don't look right, imho anyhow :p but then they come in 20's! :D heheh time for some bigger brakes me thinks! [crackmeup

peppernick

25-01-2005, 11:01 PM

damn... those are nice! yep exactly the reflection of the bolts is wicked... shame the deep dish lip eats into caliper air space ;) probably have to get 10/10.5" wide all round :D

25-01-2005, 11:30 PM

Thats one of the best rim pics ive seen... luv them to [cool

Har5ha

26-01-2005, 09:18 AM

This thread started off with me happy over my simple CHs and now everyone has posted pictures of these pimping rims..bolted...with huge lips!!! :(

Anyway....my rims should be on by the end of the week!

churchwa

26-01-2005, 09:31 AM

Pepper, those rims would look Sick on my M Coupe, they look like they might have the right offset ;)

churchwa

26-01-2005, 01:10 PM

Harsha,

Remember for a proper refurb they will need to take the tyres off and re balance them, so they often charg extra to do that.

It is well worth you sending the wheels without tyres on, like they are now.

rossi46

26-01-2005, 06:46 PM

Har5ha

26-01-2005, 09:00 PM

Will post pics when they are refurbed and looking good on the car..don't wanna show the scratched up rims to the world!! :D

Ali and Durgesh have had a look though...!

BigFas

26-01-2005, 09:03 PM

don't wanna show the scratched up rims to the world!! :D

Make sure you take a pic AT the refurb place then! We know what's going to happen between when you put them on to when you get back to your place :D

just playin'

Ali

26-01-2005, 11:11 PM

Lol....

They're in very good condition Harsha, well, that's all relative to the condition of your MV2s....

I really wouldn't refurb if I were you, cos within a week they'll be back to what they are now...... I'm not trying to sound harsh, seriously... its just a waste of 200 quid!

Unless you and roma seriously decide to start paying attention! :mad: :mad:

You should find someone to switch rims with for HIN. You got to represent man! Do it in style.

Har5ha

29-01-2005, 01:59 PM

Okay...my bbs have been refurbished....one was done today..so they want to let it air a bit...

Should be on the car this evening..and Durg's car will be wearing my old shoes for the time being...at least she will be mobile!!

I am so infuriated....

the guy I bought my tyres off...sent me 3 fronts and one rear!!!!

Just called him and he dispatched to another guy on the same day...so reckon he got them mixed up!!!

Gonna hear more on monday..but now the earliest I can get all four rims on my car is on tues..!!

Have 3 and the spare on at the moment!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

29-01-2005, 06:51 PM

Sorry to hear that har5ha...But damn Durg the senekas look HOTT, I went to get a quote on those from RSR last yr for my M, and when they told me the price and the 3 month waiting time i was put off, and the fact that if i hit a curb or put hole my life would come to an end from the pain... But seein that pic and every time i see ur old type 3's it makes me wanna keep my M3 vert, but i will stick to my plan and get the coupe (hopefully with individual leather)

oh dear harsha...
another 2 looooooooooong days to wait, it'll feel like 2 weeks. [nana [nana [nana
nevermind, at least your rims will be nice and new for 2 extra days.. :D :D

Har5ha

30-01-2005, 08:48 AM

Rossi the plot thickens..apparently the stickers on the tyres were what they shoud've been but it was actually 3 fronts...I hope the guy actually sorts it out..otherwise am a bit screwed!!

Tues is at the earliest if he dispatches one tomorrow..and don't know if he will do that!!

My sister yelled at the lady in BMW yesterday! This whole swapping on rims has been rather dramatic. And it doesn't seem to end...

My sister yelled at the lady in BMW yesterday! This whole swapping on rims has been rather dramatic. And it doesn't seem to end...
Sorry you have to go through all this. The salesman told me as long as I gave the car back in one piece but his superior insisted that they valued my car with the Type 3s on and refuse to take anything else. The salesman has resigned :mad: . I wasn't allowed to take delivery of my M3 until I left a £1000 holding deposit and I don't know when they will give me the refund.

Har5ha

30-01-2005, 01:16 PM

Nick man..its really not a problem..they are just a bunch of idiots..who lost the key and then started blaming me.

They also are incompetent..and said they were changing the wheels at 3pm on thurs..and then after calling them twice on friday..they tell me at 1pm on friday that we allegedly didn't give them the key.

Then on sat had to call twice to check if my car was ready...arrived at 1250..lady made me wait for half an hour..and then started making the biggest deal that they closed at 1!

On top of that..they couldn't even make the invoice...started to threaten she woudln't release the car if we didn't leave card details...All Roma said was can you call on monday and tell me the amount and will pay u over the phone.

Overall..they are just a bunch on idiots..who drove me up the wall for 2 days..and I don't think they even checked the shocks.

Now this tyre hassle...its really been quite an ordeal..just to swap rims...but hey..no pain no gain!

Har5ha

30-01-2005, 01:17 PM

On another note..ur old car was being worked on there..she looked really sorry without her rims on...up in mid air!!

peppernick

30-01-2005, 05:22 PM

I take it everything is sorted then. Phew, finally. Now get your tyres and start rolling on some pimp wheels ;)

The woman you shouted at Martina Sterrett? She wasn't very helpful at all when I spoke to her the last time. The other bad service personnel to avoid is Damian Long. Complete Dickhead! I always approach Mehmet Tilki or Nisin.

Har5ha

30-01-2005, 10:48 PM

Who was managing my service...Damian!! What an idiot..Durgesh went down there..and kind of put him in his place...he then decided to call me with a 'calm tone.'

Got 3 out for 4 tyres...so only got three rims on...I called the guy today and he didn't return my call!!

I really hope he sorts it out asap!!

Afif

31-01-2005, 12:19 AM

im assuming he wants you to send the other one back aswell?!

Har5ha

31-01-2005, 08:46 AM

nope..he is saying he sent the right ones...so i don't know what the hell to do!

only possibility is if the courier mixed up my tyres with the other order he dispatched that day..but its unlikely coz mine had the right stickers on it.

Afif

31-01-2005, 01:14 PM

well if the stickers on the tyre was right then maybe he THINKS he sent the right ones. What brand are the tyres? >.<

Tin

31-01-2005, 02:27 PM

The sticker could be on the wrong tyre?

ie tyre is 245x18x35, but sticker says 275x18x30 or something like that.. demand ya money back.. customer is always right... (well in 99cases out of 100).. ;)

Afif

31-01-2005, 03:02 PM

also if hes being such a dickhead about it i kind of assume he did it on purpose. Manufacturers dont usually label their products wrong.

Har5ha

31-01-2005, 07:06 PM

Mich Pilot sport 2's..bought them from ebay..so don't think he really cares about customer service!

I just gave it to my garage and they are taking the front and I am paying the diff for the rear..

Kherrie rocks!!

31-01-2005, 09:33 PM

i am sorry u guys are being p1ssed around by the dealers. my local dealer (C00per$ C0bham) has been the same with my wife's Mini (took them 4 times to repair window switch and stop the fan belt squeeling).
Fas, u had a problem with fitting your exhaust, Harsha's tyres, Nick's new car...anyone got any good experience with the so called *professionals* [hmm

yagga

31-01-2005, 10:08 PM

Dodo's at Cooper wimbledon had my M for two weeks to replace the seals that they damaged with grease from a previous repair that had nothing to do with my seals (rear self in the cab rattling) and they gave me a automatic mini one to drive round for the hottest two weeks of the year... I was P'd.
:mad:
it was suppose to be a 1-2 day job at most. and then got my car back with the hard top on as they said they could store them any more... needless to say i now use cooper croydon instead for any work that needs to be done...
:cool:

Har5ha

31-01-2005, 10:39 PM

They gave me..4 pounds worth of bolts as a 'goodwill' gesture...to compensate!!

good luck. Whats the ebay users ID. Name and shame :D :D.

Yep, as Afif says, Name n shame.. negative feedback! :(

I've got tyres from Mytyres.co.uk nextday delivery and no hassles etc.. but alittle late now... also http://www.etyres.co.uk/ seem pretty good too.. will come out to your car (home/work etc).

Har5ha

01-02-2005, 08:29 AM

His user id is bish4yabs

something random like that...

cheapest tyres that I have seen are

http://www.johnsonstyres.com/acatalog/about.html

Durgesh actually found them..they are about 30 pounds cheaper per tyre than my tyre...Their website is crappy but if you call them up..they give you prices and deliver free of charge!

Next time...I think will be buying from them...

Will go to the garage in a bit...and hopefully all rims will be on!

Afif

01-02-2005, 09:51 AM

yea prices on there are good. Slightly cheaper than new branded tyres cost my dad at cost price (last time checked neways). Also free delivery :D. Definately a good deal.

Tin

01-02-2005, 11:08 AM

sorted, cheers for that, need to get some new rears in a next couple of months... Goodyear F1's : 275x30x19's not gonna be cheap! :( [hmm

Hope you get ya car back on the road quicktime, flexin da new alloys! watch da kerbs though! ;)

Stock323iSaloon

01-02-2005, 12:25 PM

I would never go to KwikFit to get my new tyres as their prices aren't that good...So what do u think is the cheapest way to get your tyres?

1) Buy online from Johnson Tyres
2) Buy online from BlackCircles.co.uk
3) Buy online from Eventmobiletyres.co.uk
4) Buy online from mytyres.co.uk
5) Buy online from eTyres.co.uk
6) Buy online from ctyres.co.uk
7) Buy from Afif's dad:)
8) Look out for a good deal on eBay [hmm [hmm [hmm

Anyone got a better suggestion other than the above?

Har5ha

01-02-2005, 04:46 PM

finally all 4 rims on!

Had the car alligned...6 adjustments made...its back home! [jam

Yeah they do. I remember you posting a pic of an M5 with them on some time ago. They weigh 24lb each I think. Honestly, you can't hide your Brembos behind CHs now can you?

Yes you can. Those are 19X8.5 ET35. You can get them direct from BBS UK for £1700 with Toyo tyres.

cool..fair enough dude..I'll look for something else..TypeIII's doing a good job already, but just after "lightweight" 19's.. LM's are nice, but know a couple of M5's already with them..

Sorry for the thread hijack Harsha... your wheels do look good [cool
