Quiksilver_TR Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 (edited) Thoughts on the Compomotive MO6s on mine?? Have the chance to buy a set of the MO6 in 18" BMW fitment. 225/40 18" Fronts 255/35 18" Rears Believed to be +40 offsets, but not really sure what that means. They are urrently fitted to an E36 and the offsets for those are +37 to +45 They need a refurb but what are peoples thoughts on them and them going on mine. Thanks Edited September 27, 2013 by Quiksilver_TR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonlpearce Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Should be nice and lightweight, but aesthetically they are a bit meh for me. There just isn't a whole lot going on with them. That said if the price was right you could make them works with some fancy paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mneth1986 Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Think they'd look pretty sweet. What colour would you refurb them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiksilver_TR Posted September 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Was thinking refurb the whole wheel, barrels (insides) would go gloss black and the fronts (spokes and front dish/lip) would go Anthracite for mine. Was thinking white but CBA with cleaning them all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davethegoat Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Hi guys. A semi(!) thread resurection is perhaps not the best first forum introduction eh! However, I'm desperate! Did you get these MO's Quicksilver? I'm really, really desperate for a set! Actually, desperate for a rear pair of 9's. I wrecked mine and (as you probably know) Compomotive have (at least for the moment) ceased trading! Cheers. Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

das_flo Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 I love MO's, but mainly on cosworths. They don't look as cool without the trademark blue centre cap. You could always have them diamond cut if you wanted to 'jazz' them up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim27 Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 I love Compo MOs. I also love E46 coupes. But unfortunately I don't think I love them together. The MO has a very strong rally heritage and looks the dogs danglies on homologation cars (Evos, Cosworths, GTI-Rs, Integrales, etc.) but just don't look right on the E46 IMHO. It's a mismatch.

StuBeeDoo Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 thoughts? DO IT!! They look the dog's in that image. I love MO6s and I'd gladly donate a kidney, a lung, and an arm for a set. touringking 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiksilver_TR Posted September 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Fronts are 8j et40 so they will be 3mm further out than standard mv2s. Rears are 9j et 45 so they will be 5mm further out than standard mv2s and are 1/2inch wider too.....good job I already have rolled arches and run stretched tyres as they will be even closer to the arches....good Cant wait to start sorting them out and then get them on the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
