After nearly a 5 month wait, I’ve finally got a set of Veeman VC359’s 18” 9.5” rear 8.5 front fitted. Just need to order some centre caps and M badges. I got them from LK Performance in Cleckheaton.The wait was certainly worth it.
I,ve now got a set of Grey MV2’s 18” which I,ll put in the for sale section when they arrive back from LK via a courier.

They look great. :thumbsup:

Veeman do seem to make some really good looking wheels. I got a set of M badges on Ebay for about £4 and they've stayed on my wheels for over a year! Got centre caps on the bay too for about £6 - much cheaper than BMW ones so even if they don't last as long I could replace them at least twice and still be ahead. :)

Thanks.

Hi Bill
I’ve sent you a message.4ECE94A8-6327-4173-A3DF-1969AE3C4E1C.jpeg8AE123DA-15BF-449B-95B2-E2039AF6D396.jpeg793D0C8F-45BA-4714-A696-9C4B2F8C758B.jpeg013541AF-5505-4193-A049-0488C2331F1D.jpeg

Hi Nick, Replied thanks.
 
Doubt you will find Bmw centres that are a direct fit for Veemann , it is doable though .
Buy the cheaper ones & remove the front part off the rear plastic & this will sit into the small lip on the centre hub using a little clear silicone :thumbsup:

is the right answer, thanks as always Andy lol
 
Those wheels really suit the car and Veeman’s have a good reputation for quality and value. :thumbsup:

I agree, I think Veeman VC359’s are the next best compared to original CSL’s which I heard retail at £650 a wheel!😲

The centre caps on my old MV2’s were purchased from BMW 10 months ago, fit perfectly on my new VC359’s

Maybe that's down to the wheel size being 18s , i don't know as never had any V 18s but i have had 6 sets of V 19s & rep or genuine centres defnitely won't fit

Wow wow wow, what's not to like!! I particularly like the standout depth of the rear wheel, and they just set off the beautiful silver paintwork, again wow wow wow, I love it all!! Car's rather a looker too, not envious, just rather pleased a cad can give so much pleasure 👍

I may have missed something and as I am looking to replace the run-flats on my MV2s I am curious as to what you have shod these wheels with, sorry if you've already stated this somewhere.

Nudge for any members with good non-flat 225 & 255 18's for my M Sport MV2 tyres, or would consider another set of excellent condition wheels with good rubber, I want to see what Zebedee Ben means about having a set of tgrss that doesn't want to throw you off the road, tramlines etc. I loved Yokahama in the day for the front of my 300bhp MGBGT V8 I breathed on, the front stuck like glue around the roundabouts, and the rear Pirellis just slid out where they were told and the front lined up for the exit point and squirt, not that I'd be able to provoke my Zed N52 2.5i that much, the suspension is unreal compared with a 1974 live rear axle on the GT, although the front braced up really helped, I have to say the Zed when pushing out of a bend really encourages a faster exit!

Thanks for the comments. The tyres are Dunlop Sport Maxx non run flats.
