Swopped wheels

A while ago I bought some black CSL style wheels with Blizzak winter tyres, decent fronts but rears needed replacing. I posted on the buy & sell thread to see if anyone had some winter rears, but no luck. So, thought it all through and instead of a new pair of winter tyres (£250 - £320 ish) that would get relatively little use, decided on a brand new set of Uniroyal Rainsport 3s (225/40/18 F & 255/35/18 R) that came to £308 delivered and a further £40 to the local tyre centre to swap them over, balance etc. Now on the 3.0i which means that I won't need to use my Brand new 19" OEM 326Ms with Bridgestone runfkats that I took off the sDrive35i when I bought it 6 weeks ago and fitted to the 3.0i but never used as it's still on a SORN at the moment. Pics of before and after below:

Nice... Where did the Uniroyals come from @ that price if you don't mind me asking? I rate their tyres and might ditch the RFT's when I get my wheels refurbed in a couple of weeks.

What is it with you & wheels D , can't you just stick with one set :P
Decent offsets on those CSL reps from memory :? & they look good on the SG + for where you are & likely winter miles the RS3s should work for you a treat
Sell the front Blizzak winters on & its a winning move :thumbsup:

They came from Openeo Mike - their website is here I find them to be very competitive and reliable.

One set? Crickey! :lol:
CSL reps are 18/8.0" ET 38 and 18/9.0" ET 42
The Rainsports confused me for a while as I was looking for the rotational markings but the twigged that they are asymmetric and only marked "inside" and "outside". :oops:
I think that I will sell the Blizzack winters, just need to give them a good clean and work out how much to ask I guess.
