Long long long long wait.....

Re: Long long long long wait.....

Yep, changing rims. If yours comes with the M sport package, your rims will likely be the double spoke style 261 in the picture above. Very good and light (12 kg). Would have stayed on those but for the brake dust problem. Need something dark as I dont wash the car too often. Took me some effort to find a suitable set.

Re: Long long long long wait.....

mate, try the latest advan racing rz that are specially made for the 135.
one of our forummers (ttoh) has them on his 135.
19x8.5jj offset 45 front less than 8.5kg about $ik each.
19x9.0jj offset 50 rear less than 9.0kg about $1k each.
they are lighter and less ex- compared to my bbs rs-gts which are about 9.45kg 19x8.5jj offset 35 above $2100 each.
else, if you could wait till mid-2010 and like to have some dish go for the advan racing rz-df matt black / matt chrome / shiny chrome finish with standard dish or wide dish.

Congrats on finally getting your ride Alex, I see the e46PoisonMonster is starting to infect you

Advan RZ isn't that ex, like what e46Monster says, less than $1K per rim. HOWEVER, rims shops here likely do not carry stock of 1 series offset advans...need to order from Japan, lead time between 1-3 mths depending on production. Hope that helps !

The Forgestars that Littlered is getting are also very nice. Other than these, there are very limited options for 1 series rims...due to the blardy peculiar offset, unless you are prepared to roll or knock fenders.
