Got me some new rims!

Ditched the old MV4's that were cracked because of the dreadful runflats and went for some 313's and normal tyres - the ride has improved dramatically.

Wanted to stay OEM as opposed to after market - think it looks quite nice with the other subtle mods.

This is true! I purchased a set of new 313 reps & they weren't concave like the oem... especially the fronts! So I sold them & got a set of genuine at double the price (used)!

But the average Joe wont know this & they still look great..... good choice!

The E93s always look mint. If it wasn't for the slightly smaller boot and weight I'd have got one. Quite a few with DCT boxes as well.

Concave is when the spokes curve in towards the hub. As opposed to just looking flat, makes the car look wider and the rears are usually more concaved as they are wider
