Anyone know what's going on with CMWheels? Used to have a really great selection of decently priced replica wheels but looks like stock is dwindling and there's not a lot of choice left. Have they fallen victim to Brexit import fees?

I have noticed this too.
I was thinking of buying the 'knock off' 666m replicas they used to sell. They were out of stock back in March. I phoned them and they said they should have new stock in May, but they didn't have them in May, or since.

I would think if it is just import duty problems they would have just upped the price
Maybe the Chinese manufacturer they used has been slapped with a law suit? Who knows?
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.

Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!

Think Brexit is part of the problem..getting any car parts outside of the country is a lot more of a ballache nowadays as companies can't be arsed with dealing with our red tape when their product is easily sold elsewhere without the bullshit. I ordered some motorbike stuff from France recently and the supplier had a minimum order limit for the UK, basically unless you were spending over £300 he couldn't be bothered wasting his time dealing with the red tape..pre brexit I could order a 50p bolt from him
if its got tits or tyres..its trouble :D
