New old wheels! Update - They're on!

I prefer them to the 108's!

Thanks! Me too.

Wheels look great now to add some aggression with the spacers

Thanks. Got some 18mm spacers arriving in the post today (hopefully). Thought 15 too little and 20 on the edge. As me and Mrs roundozo are about to embark on a 5000k road trip will a full boot of luggage etc I didn't want the risk of rubbing.

What spacers are you using? I had a quick look into it and it was going to cost well over £100 for decent hubcentric ones, is that on par with what you have found?

New yeah, that price is about right. I've bought second hand. This sort of product can't really "wear" so in my mind there is nothing wrong with second hand. Got 10mm for front and 18mm for rear. Hubcentric of course.

Those 32's really don't suit car at all ( just my opinion doens't mean anything) id stick with the BBS 108's personally or go back to another black alloy. You could buy my beryerns with new tyres for £700 as I'm selling car soon they would suit your car really well they was well over £1600 few months ago when i got them. Beyern only make wheels for bmw's incase u didn't know there high quality like BBS not reps. http://www.beyernwheels.com/

here's mine you can have for £700

or I've seen these they are same beyern brand but in 18" bargain as well at that price with good width with low offset so will be pushed out nicely without the need for any spacers.

Remember spacers stress the hub and suspension you will prob get uneven tyre wear to on edges too. Your looking at £50 for hubcentric with new bolts just go to any alloy wheel shop they sell them

Each to their own. Don't like black wheels on black cars. No definition. Plus these 32's are considerably lighter than the 108's.

You shouldn't get uneven tyre wear with spacers. You might need to adjust the camber but if you're getting uneven wear then the setup isn't correct.

Also hubcentric spacers shouldn't stress the hub. If they were that bad people wouldn't use them.

Thanks for the offer of your wheels but not to my liking or budget.
