How about a library of wheels thread? The Wheel Gallery.....

Post by Newbers » Thu May 12, 2011 1:24 am

I was thinking it would be really nice to have one place to go to where you could find a whole load of pictures of different wheels (designs, sizes and colours) in one place. Lot's of you guys have invested tons of thought/research and cash in to coming up with some great wheels it would be great to be able to browse them.

Selfishly this would really help me gather my thoughts regarding getting some winter wheels organised too!

Any thoughts?

We use to have a link to all the BMW wheels, but they took it down. :(

this site has all the BMW wheels available:

http://felgenkatalog.auto-treff.com/

in german but easy enough to follow...

would be a good idea for a thread with wheels on cars etc though :thumbsup:

I like it. Agree with gannet that you'd ideally want images with the rims on the car.

It's only a thread you're asking for so why not start it?

Would be useful for owners to add any pertinent comments with regards to living with the rims and ball park price if known.

It'd also be nice if the chatter was kept to a minimum so it was more of a photo gallery.

Actually I won't as they're 103's and are ripe for a refurb.

Try this link.

http://www.alloywheelsdirect.net/bmw_alloy_wheels

Click on the model e.g. E85 from the dropdown menu, then choose the desired wheel, when you click on the wheel it gives you the option to see it fitted onto that car enlarged if you wish. :thumbsup:

That must be the rarest variety of alloy available for Z4s :lol:

No, they are NOT 107's! Just very similar.


Also, BMW style-104 (16" non-staggered, winter rubber):
