Looking for 7.5J 17" wheels

MEGA · 01-31-2012, 03:26 PM

Not particularly just a "wanted" thread so I've left it here.. Viv / Tony feel free to bollock me if I'm wrong

Does anyone have any suggestions about which 7.5J (and ideally 8J rear staggered but I can take 7.5J all round easilly enough) 17" alloy I could pick up either new or used that would fit an LCI E92 ?

I was thinking the E36 Motorsport (M3) alloy but are there other options?

I've got the white piece of crap ones but one of them is slightly buckled and above about 70 it's undriveable haha..

Cheers chaps.

Dave

What's the budget?

zltm089 · 01-31-2012, 04:01 PM

why do you want 17 inch wheels anyways?!....

the bigger the better! ;-)

sheps · 01-31-2012, 04:46 PM

Guessing it's for winters...

For winters and the cheaper the better but they can't look too atrocious

I've got some 17" wheels that were on my 335i when I bought it with Bridgestones on them. They are just sitting in the garage. They have a couple of kerb marks but apart from that are in pretty good condition.

Standard 335 SE 17" look nice enough.

nicktyler · 02-01-2012, 09:19 AM

They are nice enough but I fancied something a bit more and they do have a couple of marks on them.

MEGA · 02-01-2012, 09:20 AM

Those the twist alloys ?

That's a good point.

No cash at the moment but the twist alloys would be perfect..

foxy-stoat · 02-01-2012, 09:52 AM

I thought the twisted spoke alloys were 19inch ones?

If this is my question I'm not sure what they are but I'll take a photo later on and post it up so you can see. Probably easier than trying to describe them.

Although I'm pretty sure it is these

MEGA · 02-02-2012, 03:37 AM

Or right not what I was thinking. But as above I didn't think twist came in 17.

I've seen a few of those ones on ebay and theyre definitely a reasonable suggestion.. Not worth much though to be fair.

Positive is direct E92 fitment and no messing about of course. I think E36 motorsports would require a spacer

dxb335d · 02-02-2012, 12:47 PM

E36 wheels would look shit mate

willhollin · 02-02-2012, 01:07 PM

Just get MV3s and sell the others.

MEGA · 02-02-2012, 04:23 PM

Need 17s to suit the tyres.

And Carlos they won't look worse than what I put on the E90 lol..
