    New wheels mounted (800kb of pics)

    I got my new Hartges back from the refinishing place over the weekend and just finished bolting them up this evening...

    This is a thread I posted when I got them:


    I had a set of 205/50/16 Yoko ES100s fitted to the wheels today... before anyone asks, I went for 205s as they're better suited to 7" rims and 225/45s were quite pricey :evil:

    (rant: these cost me US$170 each. Tirerack has theem for $US81... sucks living in oz, we have to pay silly money for stuff /rant)

    So yeah, here's a few quick pics I snapped before it started getting dark:



    Somewhat bad quality:


    This one had weird lighting, dunno why it's so blue :?




    Close up... 16x7 ET25:


    There were some mixed opinions about the black centres in my previous thread, which kinda made me have second thoughts about them... but now that they're mounted, I'm really happy I went with black 8) I love how the polished lips go so well with the chrome window trim.

    Next on the agenda is to fit up my Mtech2 front bumper, realign the kit a little and retrim and install my sports seats. might have to go hungry for the next few months :?

              That's pretty hawt but I think chrome bumpers would match the polished lip better :).

                      Wow... easily one of the hottest wheels on a e30 ever.
                      The BMW 318 is back. With a vengeance.

                          I just gave them a ring - they're not really sure if they'd be able to source any but said they'd let me know...

                          I can measure mine and knock up a CAD drawing for you if you want to get them machined... I don't think it would be too hard to get someone to turn them out on a lathe.

                          From an aesthetics point of view, yeah, I agree... but I scrape on everything atm, so I'll be leaving it as is i think.
