Alloy Wheel Thoughts
Trying to find some new alloys as my 17's look weedy and came across these.
http://www.potn.co.uk/p1034534.htm Just wondering what people thought? Will they suit the E92? Also do the rears need to be staggered as i cant see the staggered size on the Momo website. If i could find a decent set of genuine BMW alloys i wouldnt have this grief!!

They defo need to be staggered as thats how BMW have designed the car.
My 19's are Front - 8.5J 19" ET34 Rear - 9.5J 19" ET37 PCD - 5x120 They fit with NO rubbing at all. You could use 8J and 9J as BMW fit, but I chose slightly wider as they fill the arches slightly better  |

Cheers guys!!
Thats exactly the sort of info i need - almost pushes me to buying an OEM set as it means i get the correct offsets etc.
