    Nothing major, at most a lip roll with that offset, depending on your alignment you may find they may just pop straight on.

    BMW have the best paint work of any manufacturer IMO, so if all is original and in good nick you wont have any issues.

    Hmm - we'll have to see. If nothing comes up after this weekend that takes my fancy, I'll just be off buying something.

    What sort of lead time would you need if I found they didn't just pop straight on mate??

    Well 9.5 et45 bolt straight on with a 255/35/18 so I can't see the extra 2mm making a difference tbh.

    If that's the case - then I reckon these could be a go'er?

    There pretty much the same width and offsets as MV's. I still think a clean set of MV1's will really suite your car

    So do I but I can't seem to find any at a reasonable price

    I've put an offer in on those as they're by far the best of a bad bunch We'll see what happens

    HELLO!

    Arry, I'll have a set for sale for sure. AFAIK, (only seen it once, picking it up Sunday ) they were all good apart from the from near side. Could prob throw in the front tyres too. But the NSF (poss the OSF inner too, couldnt see) has some feathering to it. Get you outta trouble tho.

    Ill PM you pics when I get it, OK.

    Shame you didn't get here before last night, would have saved me putting an offer in on those wheels on teh bay I think it'll probably get rejected anyway, we'll see.

    Yeah I'd be interested in those mate - as long as seller doesn't accept offer

    No prob mate. As it is, Carter has just come up with an idea for the new wheels that might look trick! If it does, Id like to keep the car rolling, so Ill stick with the MV1s for now
