Good News - A nice new set of Goodyear asymmetrics fitted to replace the old run flats...what a difference!
Bad News - discovered I have 3 rear wheels and one forward wheel fitted on the car :-(
Does any one has a spare M135 double spoke (8J) in the south of England?
 
Hi Dav, actually I did feel it was a bit twitchy but put that down to the Run flats...I've only owned the car 6 months...That being said the 30-mile drive home with new tyres felt miles better/smoother.

Style 436? But why don't you run a square set up with four rears,all 8j?

As mentioned, fronts are 7.5J and rears are 8J

I too would go for a square 8J set up. Only thing is the rears have a shitty offset of ET52 :(
 
Yup, they're a standard fit wheel for the E85/86 and 8j et47 fronts and 8.5j et50 rears. Make sure they're proper BMW ones, should have the offset and width cast on the back along with BMW branding
 
Should be easy enough to find they fitted them to many E46's of the same era too.

Check for a genuine one though loads of reps about!
 
Yep, it's the MV2 double spoke I'm after for the front. Should be easy to find, but the majority on eBay are either in a set or need a refurb or repair. I will just have to keep looking. Thank you for all your help though on what to look for on the wheel to ensure they are genuine.

Go for one which needs a refurb buddy and get it done is your best bet.
 
Also have you checked yourself you defiantly have a mismatch?

The tyre company may have got it wrong so always worth double checking. :thumbsup:

No, he is after 135's as per first post.

Yeah I read that.
Style 135's are just MV2's. OP's first statement made it sound like M135 wheels (i.e. F20 1 Series M135).
