karl1 451 Report post Posted July 18, 2015 Well they are done. And am happy with the colour. Not top job but was only a quick rub down and paint. New front tyres to match the rears also fitted. No stretch now. Love the shine when the sun hits them. 1 Arctic_Monkey reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gar525i 189 Report post Posted July 31, 2015 How do you find them sunny tyres ? i had a set on an e36 many moons ago now and they were absolutely lethal the second a drop of rain fell all grip was gone i eventually had to bin them with around 7mm of thread left as they were just too dangerous like driving on ice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

karl1 451 Report post Posted July 31, 2015 Lol. Not had any problems at all. But yet again it hardly goes any ware. These will probably outlive the car. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bullvine 10 Report post Posted August 25, 2015 How much did your pair of 9.5 wheels cost you ? Are they an exact match for the rears Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karl1 451 Report post Posted August 25, 2015 I bought another set of genuine m5 wheels. Then sold the four fronts as a set on ebay. Then repainted all the wheels together and fitted the same size tyres all round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karl1 451 Report post Posted September 2, 2015 Replacement mirror casing turned up to get rid of the repaired one. Just got to paint it now. But for 30 notes for a genuine AC item then I'm not complaining 1 ger reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carlosos 67 Report post Posted February 8, 2016 Cars looking good quite fancy one of those gauges too. You still running direnza coilovers? Opinions on them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karl1 451 Report post Posted February 8, 2016 Cheers yep still on the same coilovers. Been really good. A little soft on the rear. But probably a uprated anti roll bar could help there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
