Alloys

[paulgjohnston]

Think new alloys may be in order, thoughts on these guys, suitability/price etc would be appreciated.

Cheap enough for sure. I Don't mind those at all. If you like them they have got to be worth that.

 

[paulgjohnston]

Many thanks, totally understand that everyone has an opinion on what looks good but interested to see what people say about these.

 

[Robz3sport]

I like them

The alloys look fine as an alloy type - depending on what your intentions are - they will need refurbed - plus new tyres taking the total cost between £500 - £600 - maybe over £700 if you go for four tyres?

 

[andyglym]

Yup, like those. Though as stated, need a refurb which will add to the cost.

Just picked a car up with these wheels, they suit the Z3

 

[BMBabe]

Go for it!! I like them

 

[paulgjohnston]

Many thanks for the comments guys.

The other alternative is to stick with the ones I have and buy new tyres. Would be grateful for any suggestions on these as well. The ones that are on are all different and do not fill me with any sort of hope! They are 225 50 16.

 

[andyglym]

As an alternative, MV3's on 225 front and 255 rear? Just to paint the picture further.

 

[Mnbrennan]

Had these options my first topaz z3, they look great!

 

[paulgjohnston]

Very nice!

maybe a better buy

 

[Grumps]

I prefer the ones Andy has offered you to the originals on this thread. Have a word!

 

[paulgjohnston]

Finances may not stretch to the new wheels plus refurb plus tyres. Think it's a new set of tyres for me in the meantime.

I'll start a new thread asking for help with these as well.

Many many thanks once again guys for the help and advice, fantastic place this is!

 

[paulgjohnston]

Just bought these, think I may have got a good deal?

All comments appreciated.

 

[GazHyde]

Not to my taste, but I think they will probably look very well in keeping with the Z3 style. Be interesting to see them fitted

 

[paulgjohnston]

Many thanks.

Your alloys look fine and with appropriate car lowering and wheel spacing will look even better!
