Much better than your old ones. Your car looks a lot newer with them on for some reason

 

[imported_kris_tdi]

cheers, funnily enough my dad said the same.

wouldn't believe it was 7 years old with 145k

 

[Crazylow]

looks sweet as that now kris

 

[RICH2JOSH]

Hey Kris, Nice elastic bands - Kinda gives the car a more "road hugging" look to it.

Is that a boot spoiler at the rear or do I just have bad res on my moniter ?

Tricky

 

[imported_kris_tdi]

cheers guys, im really happy with it now.
its an oem bmw e46 lip spoiler btw

Very nice m8, a very good choice. Next thing I'd suggest you change those nasty centre caps for some oem ones. Will look even better then.

 

[Danielson]

nice rims, i was gona say about the centre caps, i will also agree top choice of wheel. =)

 

[jdp1962]

Nice rims. I also think the chrome detailing round the windows adds to the youthful effect. Wish mine had it. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

 

[PaulJC84]

Looking very nice now, wheels always make such a difference.

 

[imported_kris_tdi]

how much are the oem centre caps?
they look much different?

 

[PaulJC84]

Have a look at snoops avatar.

They are more of a matt silver or sort of like brushed aluminium, where as yours are chrome.

Cheers

oem centres are worlds apart from those nasty ones you get with the replica rims. I picked a set of oems up off of Ebay for about £30. Then sold my replicas for £20!! lol

 

[imported_VaulterTim]

Yeah, not a fan of the chrome-effect centre caps myself... I think they look a little on the cheap side to be honest. Funny thing is, I actually got wheel-coloured centres with my reps /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif I guess it's down to where you get them from...

Car looks transformed with the wheels though Kris, I see you also went for the same rear spoiler as I have... good choice /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Nice job.

Tim

 

[Anito]

Yep, very nice.

 

[Danielson]

try rochford tyres as thats where i got my reps from and they came with oe caps which was nice, im sure they will be cheaper than the dealer too.

 

[CJ A4]

Looks ace mate so much better! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif Nice one!

 

[imported_AudiOwner96]

Looks so much better than with the other wheels. I didnt even notice the centre caps..

 

[imported_Cali]

Looking good mate - should be proud of it. Though I do agree with the others about the centres.

Looked at you pics on MSN - how have you gone on with the Boot build ?

 

[imported_kris_tdi]

boot build is still in the same state as the pics. havent had a chance to do anymore yet.

 

[imported_AudiOwner96]

what was the difference in ride quality like between the 16" and the 18"?

 

[imported_kris_tdi]

to be honest didnt notice any difference.

 

[rsvrdave]

Looks cool matey, how much is it lowered by?

 

[Rixio]

Looking good, i just changed from standard 16" to 18" aswell, totally transforms the look of the car! I like the way the btm part of the car has been sprayed. I wana get mine done aswell, how much was it??

 

[imported_kris_tdi]

its a spax psx kit 45mm front 35mm rear.

Sprayed the lowers myself as have all the gear.

 

[Phantom_A4]

Should be a lot different with low pro tyres on there, also a bit slower off the mark!

Looks awesome though /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
