I'd be interested to see how damaged they are? Got a pic?

So..... I got the wheels fitted today and also had the shadowline trim replaced at the dealers - so as far as car days go - this was a good one!
Over the moon with the wheels, and the tyres look awesome too with the silver P Zero logo. Also swapped over my centre caps to make the whole set up look OEM. I went with the more conservative 225/35 and 255/30 set up just to avoid any rubbing, and they have done the job. No hint of rubbing at all so far, so very happy with that. The trade off is a little more stretch, but to my eye they look perfect. Pictures: Rear Concave: |

Looks lovely. Better stay away from those curbs with the rim exposed!
I do love the way the rears look, you cant beat a bit of concave, but theres something about the fronts that annoys me, the way they have that wavey line, almost making them convex near the base of the spokes! I always think that whenever I see people running these rims. Just me probably though! |

Thanks!
I never park near kerbs and as such I've never curbed a wheel - touch wood! Very aware of the exposed rim though, but I didn't want any risk of rubbing with 235/35 & 265/30 - maybe I'll try them out next time round... I know what you mean about the wheels, but they are very hard to take pictures of! The rears are way more concave than the pictures show and so are the fronts. |

Looks spot on for sure.
I'd definitely go 265 next time as I'm not keen on the stretch but that's a personal thing. Good on the shadow trim replacement too. For the E92 the shadow line trim is around £900 for the set for both sides as I did enquire LOL.

Thanks chaps!
Ordered an Alpine audio upgrade from German eBay this morning. Just need the Logic 7 subs now and all will be good! I think I probably could have gone with 265/30/19 on the rear, but too many conflicting stories about what fits and LCI and what doesn't! I know lots of it is down to tyre choice as some run quite wide compared to others, but I just didn't want the hassle. I've been there countless times with cars before and the E91 is meant to be me settling down and doing less / spending less! The jury is out at present, as I've done quite a lot so far in a short 3 weeks! |

Another quick note to mention I've also secured a set of L7 subs / enclosures today!
Ironically the exact same set I had in my E81! Turns out the guy I sold them to never got round to fitting them. Can't wait to get the kit in, as the stock audio is woeful at best! |

keep changing my mind about tyre sizes for mine as a 19" upgrade is very much on the cards. really liking what you have done with this so far mate... its all about the simple touches, black grill confirms i need 1 for mine as well. nothing like taking inspiration from other members (read as 'stealing ideas') |

Quick little update...
Ordered a pair of front and rear BMW Performance discs for the brakes today. Just need to decide about pads now... I'm also getting the Alpine upgrade and L7 subs fitted tomorrow! |

Got the Alpine kit fitted today
Great sound with the Logic 7 subs too - very happy with it now! Also ordered some TRW brake pads for the the front & rear Brembo calipers, which will be here Wednesday along with the BMW Performance discs I have ordered. So all being well, the Brembo's will be on the car in the next couple of weeks! Also gave it another much needed wash today! The joys of a black car...... it really needs a 2 stage machine polish, but thats even more ££££ to be spent! |
