neil20vtc 0 Posted February 3, 2009 got my new rims there bbs 2 piece splits of a bmw328 sport waited ages for adapters to come from belgium then when they turned up the rears needed the centre bore enlarging as it was too small! got there in the end though this is how they look not messed with the ride height yet its still set for my winter rims an borbets, what do you think? i like them but the gf keeps saying she prefers the borbets but im sure she said she didnt like them at first :cuckoo: oh and excuse the picture quality just taken on my phone neil.

samthegram 10 Posted February 3, 2009 Sweet rims, ride height looks bang on to me. Nice 'n' low Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neil20vtc 0 Posted February 3, 2009 cheers dude an i am thinkin of goin even lower! have to lose what remains of the front arch liners though anyone know if this will cause any problems? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blue95 0 Posted February 3, 2009 Look spot on dude! I'd be more worried about the sump on the 20vt lump, it will crack rather bend if you hit something! Seems lower on the drivers side too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philuk 0 Posted February 3, 2009 very nice mate, how big are the wheels? they 16 or 17?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fazgti 0 Posted February 3, 2009 Looks good, different aswell btw who were the adaptors from and how much? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigTartanJudge 0 Posted February 5, 2009 Nice rims, had a set of them on my G60 a while back. Look like the staggered set off the 328 sport, so 7.5 and 8.5 x 17" IIRC, and I am guessing but adapters prob from concept-wheels.be ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted February 5, 2009 Looks pretty serious that mate - liking it a lot :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

neil20vtc 0 Posted February 5, 2009 Look spot on dude! I'd be more worried about the sump on the 20vt lump, it will crack rather bend if you hit something! Seems lower on the drivers side too. it runs a lot lower to the ground on its 15" winter wheels so im not too worried about the clearance and must have just been where i parked as its level normally very nice mate, how big are the wheels? they 16 or 17?? as the judge said 7.5 and 8.5 x17 and he was correct in saying the adapters were from concept not cheap sure they were 300 euros Looks pretty serious that mate - liking it a lot :) i think it makes the car look more grown up than with the borbets on which i think im going to have to sell at some point as think im turning into a wheel whore!! looks fresh, i like it... get some better pics up though :) yeah i know the pics aint the best, wheels aint on the car any more though due to the crap weather so will get some decent ones when i get them back on and cheers for all the good comments folks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swiftkid 1 Posted June 20, 2009 :shock: no way, absolutely gutted for you!!! must be heartbreaking! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Purple Tom 0 Posted June 20, 2009 That sucks :( I hope you're ok, keep an eye on the whiplash as it normally gets worse before it gets better. At least its irrefutable that its the trucks fault, you can claim on his insurance and get a decent amount for your car, hope you can get it sorted one way or another.

BigTartanJudge 0 Posted June 20, 2009 That's pis* poor, really sorry to hear that mate, make sure you get it all through insurance though. Get the settlement sorted, then buy your car back very cheaply, take all good bits off her, buy another cheap G60 with mint body, flog on bits, swap bits over, job done. I know it's hard to take, I got very disheartened when mine was crashed into (albeit not at much damage caused, they still wanted to write her off though !), try and stay focused and you'll come out on top, even if it does take time.
