Nice wheels where did you get them from? How many ££££ if you don't mind

dxb335d · 01-08-2009, 10:37 AM

Looks proper Smart mate.

E92 LeMans · 01-08-2009, 11:01 AM

OMG That looks fantastic I have been thinking about doing this for a while but lack of information has stopped me. Would you tell me how you did this, as I really want these wheels because 225 are failing so much.

Are they OEM Wheels?
What tyres are you running ?
Did you have to roll the arches ?
What suspension do you have?

Thanks

great choice they look excellent

PurpleMonkey · 01-08-2009, 11:36 AM

tyres came very highly recommended by the lad at the fitters he has run them for over 2 yrs and never had a problem on his m-sport ...... was going to go with the 9.5 and 275 on the back but changed my mind makes it easier for tyres next time round

anyone thinking of ditching the runflats, just do it !!! The handling is so much better, the comfort is better and the road noice is a lot less too , and there is none of that annoying tramlining that you get with runflats ! There are of course safety considerations, but what did we all do before them

... wheels look great by the way

E92 LeMans · 01-08-2009, 01:42 PM

So I take it the wheels are aftermarket ones ?
Which off sets do they have ?
Where did you get them from
Thanks

craig stephen · 01-08-2009, 02:00 PM

did turriff tyres suppy the wheels as well. looks smart good choice

dxb335d · 01-08-2009, 02:07 PM

Where you stock rear wheels narrower than these new ones.

People with OEM 19" Its worth taking into consideratin yours are 255 wide before going ot buying 235.

craig stephen · 01-08-2009, 02:11 PM

what did you do about the tire pressure sensors did you replace them or is the light staying on cheers

coodem · 01-08-2009, 02:19 PM

UK BMW cars dont use tyre pressure sensors, just the americans

craig stephen · 01-08-2009, 02:25 PM

so my original alloys with run flats dont have sensors in them.so how does it detect a flat tyre.

abs sensor from the hub detecting overall rolling circumference or something...thats what i heard

AlanQS · 01-08-2009, 02:57 PM

It uses the ABS sensors to detect punctures.

I suspect it isn't a very clever system as I upped my tyre pressures from 1.8 bar to 2.2 bar and did not reset the system and I got no warning lights.

booforty · 01-08-2009, 02:58 PM

Looks great but consider 10mm spacers on the rear as it will fill the wheel arch better

remmib · 01-08-2009, 03:10 PM

Sweet wheels.

And spacers in the rear will make it look even better.

willhollin · 01-08-2009, 03:13 PM

235 is pretty slim for a rear tyre ain't it?

booforty · 01-08-2009, 03:27 PM

255's on the rear would be better
