DLH - good work with the editing.

Love the first photo - shows the wheels off superbly - going to be interesting to see them with the new centres.

Standard sidewalls? The tyres look thinner on the 19''

Like the rear dish. Very impressive Mr W.

 

[Cracker]

The rolling radius are as close to the M 18s as poss
its always hard when changing wheel size,widths & offsets to judge if there will be contact in the arches especially the fronts
Now on the car i could probably get away with a 40 front profile instead of the 35 i have & i could easily go 265 or 275 on the rears if needed which again would slightly increase the sidewall .
Happy as they are though & more important is the comfort & road noise/feel which is hard to tell apart from the standard M set up ive taken off

Lovely, just lovely I'd have gone even darker :wink:

 

[Taz]

very nice, very very nice

Problem with M size offsets are they aren't easily available in all styles/all finishes .
If i could have these wheels in the "frozen" black finish my powdercoater does then i would
Not wanting to wish bad on myself but if they end up kerbed thats what will happen
As ever from here on in i will be like a hunters trap for some shabby 19s with the right M offsets & widths to refurb :wink:

I know my eyes are failing with age but looks like the word 'Uniroyal' on the side. Say it isn't so Mr W!

 

[Bing]

But that would mean the rears have different rubber, I thought they were Michelin on the rear ?

Anyway, I am having a moment. With BMW caps on they are going to look perfect 8)

Uniroyal RainSport 3 tyres Mr W was on about getting, apparently they are owned by Michelin , so for now your eyes are fine :lol:

 

[mr wilks]

Yes guys Uniroyal RS3 fronts / Pilot Sport rears
I was planning 4 Uni's but a tyre guy offered me the Michelins at silly money
Uniroyal are indeed owned by Michelin & made in their factories : getting great reviews & for now excellent prices

They look stunning....you'll have to let us know how you find the uni royals. ...I've just looked on Camskill and a set of 4 x 18's for mine are coming in at £303.00....bargain to get rid of these rft's

 

[Ilogik]

What size tyres are you running mate?

 

[Wyldie85]

These look fantastic!
Once the BMW caps are on it will really set it off.
