Calibre Altus matt black on e92

bjc1973 · 05-14-2013, 09:26 AM

Has anyone got 19"calibre Altus alloys fitted to an e92. Possibly a uk made wheel. Just wanted to know what quality was like and how they look on the e92 in matte black. Cheers

Hmmmm, looking at the exact same ones. Hopefully there'll be someone who's pressed the button and can show us the pics!

In this link they're sold as 4 x 8'' wheels, I need 2 x 8'' and 2 x 9''. I'm pretty sure you'll need the same, as well as some shims as the offset is a few mm's out.

I'm looking at buying them from Wheelbase, slightly more expensive but you eat the full fitting kit and delivery so it works in the end.

the link i put up was just a pic from ebay.i have seen the wheels and put them up to my car and your right i would get the staggered fitment as you mention.i looked at them at a place in manchester and they can supply the wheels and swap over my 19"tyres for £590.the wheels do look good when you see them and do have a concave,although not as much as the vmr wheels.i'm just in 2 minds as to wether there are too many spokes but when you see them in front of you that wasnt an issue

That will be the same place I've ordered from. Wheelbase. I did find them slightly cheaper elsewhere, but I wanted the peace of mind you get from buying from a proper retailer. I've gone for non-run flats in the wheel/tyre package as I ran them on my last BMW and really enjoyed the difference it made to the ride.

I'm glad you've seen them in the fleshy and say they look good. It was a nervous moment hovering over the 'Buy' button, but I'm glad I did now. I think they'll look smart and not too 'aftermarket chavvy'.

Just got to get my OEM MV4's refurbed and sold. I'll put up some pictures once I get it done.
