changing my alloys - help

[karl.lewis]

Hey Guys,

I have used this forum on ioslated occasions and am looking your help. I wouldnt say am a massive car person - i just have a nice coupe that i bought across the water and now its time to upgrade my wheels...

So... i need your help - I am looking some new 19' alloys that will go on 235 /35 r19 tyres. My present the diamond cut alloys (as shown in the picture) are being more and more nasty so I am upgrading .... but WHAT SHOULD I PICK ?? :driving:

any help would be great?
any one that wants to photo shop some pics onto my car - that would also be great? lol

Welcome to the forum, Karl - nice to see your first post also has a piccie of the car
Personally, I like the look of CSLs on a coupe, like these ..... expect I wont be the only one on this forum, as they're pretty popular

 

[karl.lewis]

Thanks Alot markeg for your prompt reply - can you send me some links online to them????

I did notice this beautiful red coupe 3/4s way down this thread outside the garage with stunning wheels - what are those? (i pasted the link)

TBH you're best PM'ing StigJ to see what they are. He may even be able to provide you a link

I had those wheels on my roadster. I really liked them but i had cheap reps and one was split.

Is money no object? Look at VMR Wheels they have some lovely designs my favorite the V713 :wub: I want an anthracite 18" set of those for track wheels.

As above CSL style. Not sure genuine CSL's will fit non ///M's

So something like this guys??

As an example , I like this concave style ..

Can recommend www.bmautosport.co.uk they are local to me and have a good reputation on here.

Also www.cmwheels.com seems to come recommended.

Welcome to the forum. Nice Coupe you got there

My wheels are Linea Corse LC818 that is originally made for E9x. I have modified the rear side of the centers to get a higher offset. So these are not bolt-on.

Shaved 4mm off the rear on both front and rear wheels. So now they are ET34 in the front and ET41 in the rear. Still had a lot off rubbing issues in the front even when shaved. Had to install camber plates to get more negative camber.

But yes they are sweet looking

M wheels will fit but they are very snug in the rear arch. I have e46 19s on mine.

How did you get those to fit Karl? I wanted a set of those and was categorically told it was a no go without a hell of a lot of camber adjustment at best.

 

[srhutch]

Genuine CSL's are wider than ///M wheels monkey, which is why I have said I don't think they will fit.

 

[Dangerous-Dave]

Aye, but these are (or at least look like) the E9* M wheels which would look the dangles against my sapphire black

Let us in on the secret
