Zim Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) So iv got these ugly ass M3 reps on my car not because i liked them but because i needed something with rubber that didnt have cracks like the Mv2's that came with the car. Cant afford to change them eg buy another set at the mo as im spending a small fortune just trying to get her back on the road. So my question is really a matter of opinion what would you do i have a load of sprays so could refurb them as they are in bad shape ,, but i also have them up for swaps aswell i have been offered a set of style 32 17" powder coated black but the tyres are close to the limit where as these have decent enough tyres all be it budget. Worth saying i have coilovers so car can go lower to hide the gap a bit.. Edited February 9, 2014 by Zim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriggerFish Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 If those tyres are good, and the style 32s aren't, and money is an issue, keep yours, definalty. If you've got the stuff to refurb them already, then a quick spray would be good, but otherwise spend the money were it's more urgently needed IMO.

Zim Posted February 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Pretty much what iv been thinking anyway just tempted by the 32's as i love em lol Iv got some choices as far as colours go; black, silver, or gunmetal all of which i have in my paint arsenal. At present they are in shadow chrome but the previous owner clearly liked curbs , shame as they are a nice shade against the silver of the car. sive s and Seb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuBeeDoo Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Don't go darker than gunmetal. Black alloys are pony. Mr Xen, CharlE46, TriggerFish and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlosos Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Swap with 32's and do your best to save and get some new rubber 4 new decent ish budgets for around £200. Most reps are crap and if these 32's are in good condition it's a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daz 330 Cs Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 I agree with the majority, refurb those. It's pointless to swap for a set of 32s with knackered tyres, that would be retarded, plus 17s on an E46 look crap anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And617y Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Refurb fella best option , I do like style 32 deep dish ever since I See them on Jays red imola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosos Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Get rid, in the long run cruddy m3 reps on a loon is more ghey than style 32's in black. No contest. Nothing wrong with 17's, well maybe to folk trying to compensate. StuBeeDoo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
