Personal recommendation for ******** and Arch Enemy

Hi all,

I wanted to show my appreciation for the great customer service that I've experienced over the last week from Chris of ******** and Simon at Arch Enemy (Surrey and Hampshire).

I purchased a set of 19" Avant Garde M359 wheels in Satin Black from Chris @CM and was overzealous in purchasing 275 width rears off the internet against recommended size of 265 width. My reasoning was to provide better rim protection on a 10" rear rim... Doh.

After fitting the tyres and wheels to the car E91 LCI 335 the rears rubbed, badly. So after spending some time kicking myself, I called Simon of Arch Enemy, who at very short notice managed to slot me in last night to get the arches rolled back. We were concerned that the rolling may now be enough as the car seemed to sit lower on the offside than nearside. But after some arch treatment, they are now clear and rubbing has been eliminated.

Very happy with the finished results overall!

Some pictures attached.

Chris, you were right about the Satin Blacks! Thanks for the recommendation. I think the Hyper Silvers would look fine but the blacks look very moody!

I take it you have the 9j front 10j rear?
Looking at upgrading my car from a 320d pre lci to a 330d lci and was wondering about my wheels, atm i have 225/35 and 265/30 but they are stretched and offer no rim protection what so ever, had the wheels refurbed already 1 year after buying them, looks like i wont be able to up the tyre sizes if i do get an lci.

Car looks very moody and fills them arches perfectly mate

Also running lowered front Spring Perches with stock springs as the front was too high.

Next job is to clean up all the rust from the hubs and Calipers as they look awful behind black wheels.
