mb15 Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 I went from mv1 staggered to 8j 225's all round and you cant tell any difference in handling in normal day to day driving. If you want staggered for looks then fair play each to their own, but if it's performance then i would say you'd be hard pushed to notice any difference at all.

DennisCooper Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Hi, At a £600 budget, you'll not really get anything apart from all the usual choices you say you wish to be different from ! However that said, if you take the time to research yourself what you'd like as there's thousands of potential wheel choices out there and make yourself a shortlist, you can then properly and comprehensively research into fitments and offsets etc. Then you'll need to be patient to see if a set comes up with that rather low budget. Good luck! Cheers, Dennis! bry1990 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keano Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 BBS RC 303s? That's what I wanted but couldn't find... ended up with style 162s but if I found a set of the rcs I would be on them A +1 for this choice and if you get them and don't like them, give me a shout Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sive s Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 I hate to be the bearer of bad new Ricky, but your's isn't all that different to the one in that picture even with the mods you mentioned. Looking back at the picture today I agree >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=item4ac9cd8426 And, 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 Thanks dude but I am not feeling either of those bbs style 5s (18 inches i know) But it is just so BMW Nope lol but thanks http://www.bmautosport.co.uk/showroom/product_info.php/new-ispiri-isr6-matt-silvermatt-pol-with-deeper-concave-rears-p-4175 ??? P.S. what's your budget? Not liking them, prob 600 max (assuming 300 for my current wheels) how about these mate Calibre gtr. nice alloys. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/19-CALIBRE-GTR-4-GUNMETAL-ALLOY-WHEELS-FOR-BMW-3-SERIES-E46-98-05-8-5J512035G9-/251310803068?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET&hash=item3a834a887c I like them but not sure how they would look on mine 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! As above, 600 max, on the above, basically yea Mines a pre-facelift dude, would love some 230s but most are cracked Try it out mate , with the gtr calibre ones. Seen them on a e91 tourer on the evo technik forum. his car was black but had resprayed his in white. looks so nice. look ate the pic here. http://www.evotechnik.net/showthread.php?37344-New-car-Project-TOURING-mods-and-updates/page10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
