Hi all, what do you think?
Have had the e46 for 4 years now
Original wheels were a bit bling... but thats how i bought it
They were getting a bit damaged over time, didnt realise that the previous owner had 255 fitted to 9.5 rims, no wonder they got curbed easily... too much rim, not enough protruding rubber
After a quote from a renown refurb in st.day of over £400 i didnt think they were worth it, especially as i had to get the welded after an air leak
Trip to truro tyres (recommended) and a great set now fitted
What do you think?

When I changed the wheels on my car it took me quite a while to get used to the new ones.
I ended up getting the old set refurbished and a new set of tyres so I can swap them whenever I want.

Truro tyres are just round the corner from where I work, will have a look at them next time I'm in the market for new wheels.

First time I've used them, not many places in cornwall to see and buy wheels these days

He's got some used BMW wheels that need refurbing if you are interested...
