New wheels solution finally!

[WAY]

Let's go back to O'Neill day again early next year. His mum is working at the shop too. I met her before at his old shop that's why I know it's his mum. You should go say hello. Doing great business. Always some nice cars there.

I think I will go with the mesh like on the Cayman.

Oh I see, sounds like a plan WAY...and definitely the mesh for a Beemer :wink:

I'm certainly not one to argue against multiple sets of wheels for a particular car - I've got '4 sets' of different 20" wheels for my turbo vert alone and a total of '8 sets' of wheels at my place which are used on just 2 of my cars, yes I'm a mag wheel freak

Look forward to seeing the Forgeline wheels you get :smile:

My OE wheels are sold to Aussieracer. He is also nice enough to let me use it till the new wheels show up (4-6 weeks btw). Thanks dude!

If you are planning to run these tyres to the track, not changing them. Stay away from soft compound. It will eat stone and you have fun time taking them out each track day.

Heat cycle also deteriorate tyre too much.

My advice is to keep a set for road and a set for street. Hire a shed or something to store them. Use your X3 to bring them across.

I was contemplating getting a set of used wheels from Sherrin Motorsport here in Brisbane. They bought up all the 120i grand prix celebrity racers a few years ago and are selling things off. I think their wheels are 8 inch all round? Wondering if I could run 225-235s on all four corners & have the ability to rotate the tyres?

Probably, but i don't think they's fit under the front arch very well?

[WAY]

Not, not unless you have an aggresive camber like my set up.

[smarm]

What's the stock camber on the 1er

-1?
