General thoughts on alloys-

Post by andysat » Fri Jan 06, 2012 8:54 pm

Hi all,as im after a set of 16/17 inch alloys with decent tyres,i have been trawling fleabay which has loads obviously,but with that many different types of bmw ones,can i ask what is the general train of thought that would look good on a zed (apart from the usual 108's etc)-there are some decent looking ones for the 1/3 series but then again how would they look on a zed?-thoughts apreciated -thanks :)

Andy, what about ranski's 107's? have a look in buy/sell section, he has also listed them on ebay. I know they don't have tyres but they are nice :wink:

don't go from 16 to another 16 IMO, 17 maybe, 18 definitely the way to go (trying to make you spend more money :fuelfire: ).

They actually look ok I reckon - is it just my eyes, or do they look staggered (contrary to what the listing says) ?

The rubber looks well used, but I'd be tempted :thumbsup:

There's a set of 17" Schnitzer wheels on ebay that don't look to bad and come with tyres. :thumbsup:
