Talking

I’ve really enjoyed this thread. I’ve pmed Alex already. What are the chances of the private number plates on the same car!!? I spotted it after a random google search

1 in 1,000,000???

Here is a few of my stock 320d M-sport. I think I’ll use this thread as a template for future work to the car! There are definitely some additions that I want to fit, especially the halos…

Same interior too!

those wheels fit perfect! is that those ET27 9.5" rims?

which tyre did you go for in the end? 255 or 265 (looks a mild stretch so im assuming 255?)


ill echo the above sentiments and say they need to be a lighter colour, ferric grey would be awesome :P

I've enjoyed reading about your progress but I really don't like those wheels in black. Those wheels in silver on your car in my opinion would look

Yes it is the et27 9.5" I was asking about! Bloomin' perfect fit!

Thanks for the advice with them!

Oddly no, it's a 265/30 tyre, eagle f1. But looks quite stretched!

Yeah I think they do need to be lighter!

Thanks

How does it ride and handle on the new set up?

I'm on 17" wheels and conti runflats and it's very 'positive' I've just put four new tyres on after I got a puncture in the potenzas that were ready for a change.

It must rattle your fillings a bit no?

It's not so much much the wheel size but the tyre !

Runflats are dreadful, I took them off my standard 18's and not had them on any wheels and won't!!

It's probably the same as my good ladies car on 17" runflats!

Huge transformation, much more aggressive now! The wheels are a perfect fit, kind of agree they need to be lighter. The only reason I had them that colour was to go with the wrap. I'm stumped what colour to do the 230's as silver on silver is too plain, not sure if hyper silver will be enough of a contrast.. have to try some combinations on forza & post them up see what the consensus is

Thanks mate, Yeah it does look rather aggresive! Think im going to paint them next weekend!

Need to roll a tiny bit of the arch, it caught yesterday for the first time on the drivers rear, full tank of fuel and a big bump ha!

Yeah, get some forza images up ha! I think Black Chrome finish for mine is what i plan for, it looks like the standard finish on an e39 M5 wheel!
