PM'd :-)

anyone got any nice shiney Bbs bolts they wanna sell me! mine are pretty awfull and wont look to good with the polished outers :-) i could get them re-coated although i think i got quoted somink like £50 and new ones are about £120 for a full set of chromes! this Bbs business certainly isnt cheap !

just ordered the 215/35 sport contacts! £45 each! bargain... Sending the centres and outers to "the polisher" on the E38 forum so they can do a top job and all should be ready for E38...yay :) Getting the outers polished and the centres and the caps powder coated in a high gloss silver finish, so should look quite nice. ive just gotta clean up / polish all the bolts that hold the wheels together. I was going to be proper keen and do all the refurb my self, but its just impossible for me at the moment i am working too much and wont have the time to fit everything else in before september, so i am being lazy and paying someone else to do it... :roll:

Awesome vidz!!!!!!

what about 215/35 continentals? least they would be the same as the fronts? they are ok from my experience

still not sure as to what tyres to for yet! i ve seen a few 205 profile kumhos stretched onto a 9 inch rim and they seem to fit very nicely! and the prices are ok aswell :-) all i have to do now is get the centres powder coated and polish up the bolts and dishes and all should be good for E38!

mate your car looks really nice, dont see many yellow rados! this one is lovely... likin the new wheels aswell!

cheers darren! that looks like a sufficient stretch :D

have you got a close up of the stretch mate?

ive got the 195/40s contis on my D90s that i will use for the fronts i just want the rear tyres... i can either get conti / or dunlop 215/35s, or go for 205/40 kumhos ku31?? not really sure on this one... oh and i am still waiting for one other wheel to turn up yet!! still not delivered yet.... each box had its own delivery stamp so hopefully the other wheel shouldnt be to far behind... wont get far with only 3 wheels

i dont think ive seen one g60 with a bmc type filter... would be interesting to see any differences???

yes mate they are indeed 9"s wide on the back.

it will be driven daily, i will use the D90s as a winter wheel tho so the splitties wont be used during winter, so wont be attacked by the salty roads. 8) i am having a bit of a dilemma on tyres tho.... Dunno whether to go for 205/40s or 215/35s on the rears! :roll:

well i am going to be painting the centre myself... so prob gonna go with a high power / gloss silver.. also prob gonna get the rims either polished or chrome powder coated... need to see you pics of this effect first, i believe darren mentioned it on another thread.

Trial fitted the bbs split rims today.. Used my porsche adapters.. 30mm back 25mm front.. Think i could do with a thinner adapter on the front although the rears seem just about right. 8) Going to go 25mm adapter at the rear and maybe get another thinner 15 - 20mm adapter for the front Gonna go with 195/40/R16 fronts & 215/35/R16 for the rears i think maybe?? piccies... may also keep the centres sprayed silver after seeing what they look like on the car... 8)

yeah i was thinking that... although i dont wanna copy billijahhs colour coding :) then again it would be a different colour. Gonna try and do something with the centre caps aswell , they are a little to tall for my liking, might look into possibility of making then shorter. just splitting them this minute! they are a right bastard to get apart , everything is apart, except the middle cntre rim, cant seem to seperate it from the inner rim....any tips ??

Right guys and gals! it starts here, what do it do with these?? i have 3 ideas at the moment.... 1. Rims polished - athracite centres 2. Rims polished - Silver centres 3. Rims polshed - coloure coded cetres... (moonlight blue) i like the idea of all of them , although i think iam leaning towards 1 & 3??

One other thing to add is that there is a nice new toilet to use aswell :)

When is the open day ? LOL :-)

woohoo! taken a while hey darren... :)

if your in a position to easily change anything, then i would do it... will save you time later on and atleast you can say its been done.

it really is quite amazing how much difference it makes isnt it, especially during the summer months! are you running a single stage kit or a duel?

got any pics darren... I was thinking of maybe getting the centres done in an anthracite colour... :) and then either polish the rims or get them powder coated in a nice shiny finish... i just havent seen an examples of this chrome effect powder coating yet...

excellent cheers! does anyone know if the bolts that hold the rims together "HAVE" to be replaced with new ones??
