Fitted new wheels yesterday :-)

simmo1985 · 07-02-2013, 07:01 AM

After trailing through ebay for a good while for some wheels, I bought some off ebay a week ago. Got them for only £155 plus diesel to collect them so they were a decent price.

They are stamped up as Artec and specs are.

F: 18inch, 8.5j, et15.
R: 18inch, 10j, et17

They were off an E38 i believe he said and doing some research they are not too dissimilar to Style 32 alloys.

I dropped them off at Wheel Clinic in Northampton for a complete overhaul last tuesday. They said to give them a week but on friday lastweek they rang to say they were ready. As i was on nights i couldn't get up there until yesterday.

I decided on Shadow Chrome for the colour and i have to say was very impressed with the work of Wheel Clinic, considering what they were like when i dropped them off, they looked awesome when i picked them up!

So i got my tyres fitted yesterday and gave her a good detail today so i took some pics.

Opinions welcome.

p.s I'm going to be getting coilovers soon to sort ride height out.

Not sure I'm crazy about them to be honest but good for you going for something different! So long as you like them thats all that matters

john-vfr · 07-02-2013, 12:17 PM

adam246 · 07-03-2013, 06:03 AM
