Hi All,

Had the wheels fitted today, what do you think? I have mixed feelings but would value your comments...

Agreed.

New ones are not spokey enough.

As is, I prefer before, although if you spaced the wheels out and had little drop going i think they would look sweet.

Do ya think the C/C company will suffer giving me the money back, distance selling rules an all that..... based on public feeling..

I like them. A drop is needed though, other than that they look good.

It's not the credit card company that give you your money back. It is the company you bought the items from.

Personally I think it's a bit late in the day once the tyres are mounted and the wheels on the car. They are used now.

If they arrived and you never liked them, that would be fair enough.

If you are happy with the wheels, that is all that matters.

I think they look pretty good. I'd like to see more concave on the rears though.

My comment was a little tongue an cheek, I do like them, so as you say, I made my choice so will stick with it..

Cant go back now as the two original rears are cracked... Surprise Surprise...

As sparky says...a drop and spacers is definitely needed...but I do really like them much more than the oems

EDIT: i also think sizing up on the tyres so 235 35 and 265 30 will help with the spacers and drop to make the wheels fill put the arch

I am a bit gutted TBH as I think you are all right re the drop and stuff but not able to do it because of warranty...

Biggest thing for me is the tyre does not cover the lip of the rim so looks a bit funny... I am not technical so don't know if this is due to fitting or what... but it just don't look right.

Plus why do they look smaller than the OEM's.. Same size 19's half inch wider plus the ET should have pushed them out a couple of MM...

Do you think this will help with the lip issue I have with the pic above? are the tyres too small for the extra width on wheels?

If the tyres are correct size for your previous alloys and these new ones are 1/2 inch wider then that'll explain the slight gap. As gaza01 has said, increasing the size of the tyres would look better and sort out the ever so slight stretch gap.

But a drop and space would also make them fill the arch, and theoretically could be a cheaper option than 4 new premium tyres. Plus i believe your warranty would only be voided with regards to anything suspension related if you did go for a drop. Im sure someone could confirm that.

AC Schnitzer UK told me that if BMW refuse any warranty due to their parts being fitted, AC Schnitzer will cover the cost if the issue is said to be caused by their part. So here you go, warranty covered.

Wheels are very subjective - for me I prefer the MV4 to what you have. I like a rear concave personally but other responses are correct re drop - I'm not a fan of spacers myself as it means the wheels are the wrong ET in my view - I do agree that the lip looks iffy.

Then again I like CSL's but I'm a sheep - baaaah baaaah ;-)

Drop, Spacers, and I'd personally powdercoat them anthracite or gloss black on your car! Can you take a pic from front angle so I can see the concavity of wheel?
