I always fancy a coffee when the car's on it's side in a ditch!! oke:

I've heard that before but I'm sure it was in relation to some Porsche wheels- - teledials maybe??? Not sure though.. not helping doncoggs much though. They're not cheap in the UK if they're in good nick. As for Aus prices all I'd suggested is having a look at closing prices on Ebay or an equivalent.

Perhaps the slots could hold your plain chocolate digestives! oke:

 

[Ian_Mac]

Oh now that'd be good wouldn't it, they have to be dark choc though!!

 

[Ricey]

So what you going to do with your current alloys then Ian?

Me!! I'll pass on the digestives and coffee and stick with the Z4M's for now! I'm thinking about getting the rest of the Z4M to go with the wheels!!!

Would love to find one near by for sale to arrange a test drive to see if the extra performance is worth the extra £££'s

erm back on topic - I remembered that I got quotes from BMW for the 107 style almost exactly a year ago, see my thread here: Wheel Quote

No worries - you will certainly 'kneed' plenty of 'dough'

Falken 452's are also a popular choice, there's a few threads on here about them

If you wanna stick with RFT though - the Michelin PS2 ZPs are brilliant
