New Wheels ON - Run Flats GONE (with pic)
Had always intended to change the wheels on my 35i - the 326M's are nice but not quite what I had in mind when I bought the car. The 326's aren't cracked or damaged at all but I fancied something a bit different.
And over the 11,000 miles of driving so far the run flats, whilst OK, have become more of a compromise when thinking just what the car might be like without them. Whilst I'm no run flat hater the car has changed dramatically with the addition of a set of Continental ContiSport 6's. I'll not rabbit on about the benefits of the changes - it's all been done: suffice to say that driving over cat's eyes is now a tickle rather than a smack round the back of the head.
Anyway, here's a phone pic - hope you like the choice of wheel (but it's OK if you don't).

Anyone have any suggestions for a viable alternative to Photo*!!^$$....?

PB won't allow linking anymore unless you pay.
So looks like they are now going to lose any advertising revenue as folks go elsewhere.

It was shite anyway , the speed the last 18months was woeful & the constant pop ups super annoying pushed me to trying a few places & now found GooglePics works well , free & whilst not quite as user friendly as PB you can work it out

Hmmm. Photobucket deceived me. Let me try something else.

New Wheels ON - Run Flats GONE (photo link but no embedded pic - yet)
I'm still try to suss out Google Photos. Can get as far as a copyable link but that doesn't embed a photo. Anyone had any success on this or found another site? I've also tried imgur and dropbox.

Assuming you've fixed it because I can see the photo - wheels look great What are they?
Now Gone - 2008 Coupe, Montego Blue, Champagne leather and Piano Black interior, Eibachs & Koni Sport shocks, Style 230 19s, Eisenmann Quad - approaching perfection...

That looks really smart, do you mind letting me know some details as I'm thinking of changing the 326's on mine.
Are they 19's ?
Are they staggered ? If so is it 9 Fr and 10 R or 8.5 Fr and 9.5 R
Are you on MSport Suspension and if so what tyre sizes did you opt for ?

Should have mentioned it. The wheels are by Beyern, http://www.beyernwheels.com/BMW_wheels_ ... viatic.php
Style is Aviatic
Sizes are:-
Front: 19 x 8.5 ET30, centre bore is 72.6 (as BMW) with Continental ContiSport 6, 235/35R19 91XL (EA72)
Rear: 19 x 9.5 ET35, same CB with Continental ContiSport 6, 265/30/R19 93XL EA73
I sourced them through Rimstyle http://www.rimstyle.com/alloywheels/det ... s=ngK7X8sr who included wheel mounted TPMS sensors and new lock bolts (which turned out I didn't need) in the package.
Yes, the car has M Sport suspension.
Here're a few more pics............

Thanks, you're very kind.
These photos are hosted by ImageShack so will disappear in 29 days time when the trial membership fizzles out unless I fork out $18.99 pa - seems a bit unlikely. How do I upload direct to this site.....?

Really like them mate
Think they look better than the 326's that everyone seems to think are amazing.
