172 Wheels

[Josh2391]

Hello all, been a while since ive done anything properly on here so thought I would post some pictures of the car. Put on some 172 alloys last week that I bought from Tim_Lockhart. Bit of a tight squeeze I thought at first with the MUCH bigger wheels, were wider and bigger overall diameter, but they fit and im happy with them. Oh and about the black pannel and scuff marks, they are hopefully being sorted out sometime next week or week after. The local body shop has had a stupidly long waiting list :dapprove:

First pic, reminder of why women should not drive BMW X3's

And now with the 172 alloys:

There we have it.


Cheers

much better mate, you sorting your car out through her insurance?

 

[Josh2391]

Yeah, was all sorted on the same day. Made me laugh, she was adament it was 50/50 on the accident (she reversed out of a parking space into my car), her insurance company phoned up and said 'yes its her fault, how do you want to go about sorting the claim?'
Cant fault the service there

 

[Camble]

[Josh2391]

[Josh2391]

[Knight_Rider]

Love em! There harder to clean tho with more spokes!! ha ha

 

[Josh2391]

lol, thats one advantage of fewer spokes and drum rear brakes, less to clean

 

[Knight_Rider]
