Yep, the differences are hardly night and day. I know you say the CSL wheels have been done and are over-done, but if your're going to have a CSL bonnet, would that not all tie in, yours will still then be unique Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Turko Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 I would wait and not rush into a purchase, wait for something rare to come up for sale.As for ACS type 2's - they only look good with the concaved e39 fitment - which would cause your rubbing issues.My mate Mahal is selling his Hamanns (i can try and see what he is willing to accept price wise): http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-19-Hamann-HM2-Alloys-Tyres-for-BMW-E46-E36-E90-VW-T5-/321213269030?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Rims_Car_Wheels_ET&fits=Car+Make%3ABMW&hash=item4ac9cd8426And, cant believe im saying this, but fake splits: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/19-DARE-RS-ALLOY-WHEELS-FIT-BMW-3-SERIES-E46-E90-WITH-WIDER-REAR-NEW-/390630754037?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET&hash=item5af36846f5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DennisCooper Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Hi, What's your budget? You've got a shortlist of what you like at least and I fully understand about wanting a set that's different from other other enthusiasts! There's plenty of choices out there which will look absolutely awesome, but they're on the pricier side hence me asking about your budget. I'm guessing 5 spokes are the design element you'd like but you'd also consider the usual cross spoke/mesh styles ? Cheers, Dennis! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bungers Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 (edited) Style 313, end of conversation. Dont suit the E46 IMO, thanks for suggestion Disagree, although I don't think the standard finish would suit a black E46, perhaps a refurb in silver (imagine with slimmer tyres)? Style 230's?

Jay. Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 (edited) I don't care much for thinking things through, I just have the balls to try new things, if it looks crap, no matter, I'll just sell them & buy more @ minimal cost to myself.

bungers Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Just get a custom set of wheels made if you want to be unique. As you've already got rolled rear arches can you not look at the 5/6 series range of wheels? RickyZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mit Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 If your budget is only £600 then really? Don't bother dude! You're only going to be fitting more pap at that price! Spend the £600 fitting all the bits you've amassed as part of your 'plan' and then see about wheels at the end.

As you've already got rolled rear arches can you not look at the 5/6 series range of wheels? Cost would be too much, I have looked but cannot see any I like that would fit lol Whilst Jay's approach is kind of cool and something I can relate to (but can no longer be bothered with myself), I think Ricky needs to think some things through a bit more and think other things through a lot less I prefer to think things through first, what should I think through less ?

Just buy the things you want for your car rather than relying on everyone on the forum. Nothing to do with balls if I want to do it I will, remember how many people said dont get the current wheels You dont try new things either you do EXACTLY the same with every car you get and always lose money http://felgenkatalog.auto-treff.com/ I ve spent a while looking on here lol TriggerFish, Daz 330 Cs and mit 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr T Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 (edited) are those figures Jay's mentioned really correct Ricky, 9k for the car and around 4k in mods. how long ago did you buy it and what sort of mileage has it done now? not that it really matters as you're not selling but depreciation makes me cry and back on topic, you're keeping you tyres, what sizes are they?

RickyZ Posted September 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 So i loose money? You paid what, 9 grand for that heap of s**t 330 of yours? You've spent 4k plus on it? so i think you'll find you've lost al lot more money than me. just waiting for everyone to shove their hand up you & play you like a puppet as usual rather than using any common sense & going out & buying something you want. 7K, prob 5K in mods but have made at least 2K back in selling stuff, in total, ha BS you've had how many E46s now and you make a lose on almost all of them I imagine, I mean seriously how many people want broken suspension and style 32s I have lost money for sure but no where near as much as you So because I ask for some peoples opinions I am a puppet ay, grow up TriggerFish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
