My new wheels...



  BMW E46 330i Touring
Only temporary mind, I quite like the look but feel the car needs to be a lot lower to pull them off properly!

Mine are getting a DIY refurb - it could all end in tears! Getting the bloody things off today was bad enough.

Just the previous tyre fitters putting the bolts on that 'little' bit too tight, took a fair bit of force with a huge breaker bar to get some of them to budge!

Then I found that one of my jacking points is knackered, so had to 'adapt' my jack to fit...

drop it on its arse and keep them!

the colours look ace against each other =]
 
  BMW E46 330i Touring
Lol, the colour will remain, but the wheels will not! I think if I was stripping it out, fitting coilovers and making a track beast, they'd look great. But then, if that was the case, I'd need some way of cooling the brakes.

I already miss my F1's... they'll be back for FCS. :)

that actually looks quite good....lower it a bit more even if its temporary just to see what its like:p
 
  Suzuki Ignis Sport
Let us know how u got on with ur DIY refurb, i did mine myself, turned out alright! :)
 
  BMW E46 330i Touring
Lol, I'm not going to go to the expense of buying lower springs just to see what it looks like! I'll rest in the knowledge that it would look cool.

Justin: 16's are for ponces... ;)

Will do Haz, gonna take a little while as time is limited, but will post up when I've finished.

Lol, can't beat a bit of Nankang quality!

The 185/55's are definitely noticably different to my 195/50's, even when driving normally. The steering's lighter and 'wobbly'!

Dude, you alright if I return them on FCS weekend, or would you rather keep your car clear of clutter then?

The green eyed monster is a terrible thing ;)

Lol, jealous? Moi? Damn right.

Only a temporary measure Joel so not keeping. If I was I'd have to lower further and get them tidied up.

I'm trying a bit of anthracite mate, I figure if I c0ck it up, then I'll get them refurbed properly in titanium, if I do a decent job then I'll keep the anthracite!

Well, Peugeot Cossack Grey or something, but it looks pretty similar.
