Well, I promised there'd be pics so, let there be pics!

First off I haven't tackled the big brake upgrade yet which I think will make these look a lot better, but everything is there ready to do. Secondly the back wheels fit just fine but as predicted the fronts catch like a motherf****r, so I'm going to need smaller tyres. Now, on with the show!

Shotgun cartridges as wheel bolt covers http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/17mm-Black-Ca ... 2749.l2649

Need to swap one of the bolts on the back. They don't fit over the locking wheel nuts.

Looking great OP. :thumbsup:

Glad you kept the BBS caps too - I mean they are BBS wheels, so why would anyone put BMW centres on them?

Wheels look great! But I would be more focused on tidying up the number plate and missing tow plug. :!:

But I do have OCD.

Looks good but theres a bit too much arch gap to pull the look off, in my opinion.
