nick...a dish would look sweet on your car
i saw these wheels last year and almost considered myself as i was doing the whole CF theme to mine...but i felt the car wouldnt do it justice as a non M3 car is just not wide enough...(the wheels would have probably been too wide anyways but i would have made them fit somehow lol) Dips the guy who does all the work for me im sure is the one who re-done the lips in frozen grey too! one things for sure is that they are a unique set of wheels...not something you can find so easily..

I'm now thinking retrim my spare rear seat and door cards to match the fronts. Alcantara and leather with double silver stitching. I would then do the dash trim, centre console, and door trims in silver carbon fibre to brighten it up? Similar to this, Not completely decided yet. Just a thought ( and a cheaper one). Will be doing some shows this year for sure Quote:
Think it's unlikely I'd buy them as for me it takes it into a more modified look that I like but with this car my theme is more oem plus plus plus Quote:
Which would just look the same but cost me ££££££ more. These are most likely but keep putting it off as they are so similar! Quote:
Bit sad but my custom badges arrived this week. I have a few spares........

I was arguing with myself that the M3 Edition would be a good buy over a standard car .. apart from maybe the Dakar

Saw this in the flesh the other day and even in the dark it looked stunning. That retrim will look amazing, in fact I prefer it to the cinnamon idea.
PS that extra connector was for the active head rests which can be coded out. Also the reason why I couldn't get the seat to work was because I didn't push the plug in lol what a fail. |

Well, made up mind. Just pushed the button on these.
Keeping silver rim protector. And organised 2 new rear contis.( not cheap) ( going to keep the front contis of current wheels as brand new) Another month of spending then I'm definitely stopping spending!

Basically yes. You have a stud that the wheel goes on. The amount of stud sticking out depends on how cool you are!
Born in Motorsport, but now cool on the show ground ! I've got black studs and cool looking nuts ( oh err ) but similar to the above.

Studs from demon tweeks and cost hundred quid. Iirc 75mm fronts and 90mm rear. Poke of studs will depend on wheels/ offset etc so will be trial and error.
I think they may be marginally cheaper from ca automotive but depends what size you want. You can get cheap bolts from eBay but I wanted black ones with a 'nose' on the end. Polarised bolts I bought separately. Will post some pics later in week.
