Nothing like a new wheels turning up !!
Treated to 3 coated of Gyeon Rim and some genuine bmw center caps . Only cheap reps and went for 18” as opposed to the 19” due to trying ti be sensible with money . This way I can just swop my tyres over … also the fact that the roads are absolutely shocking , so want to keep the ride comfort as good as I can !

I must say that I had feared the worst, but my 19" CSL with Michelin PS5 are really good on the terrible roads.

Will the centre caps fit all after market rims?

Will get some pics of them all fitted when the rain stops !!
Bought from BMautosport .. £600 delivered with new black bolts . Would have preferred a slightly more aggressive offset but they aren’t bad …. Equivalent of running the standard wheels with a 10mm front and 13mm rear spacer .
Not sure on all aftermarket wheels being able to accept the standard center caps . Another reason why these appealed to me , bought new genuine bmw caps and looks oem still .

Although they are only 2mm further in then the old set up ( 135m wheels with 12mm front spacers and 15mm rear ) to my eyes could do with spacing out a bit .. probable 5mm Fri t and 10mm rear …. What’s your thoughts ?
Also painted the calipers the other day … wasn’t a fan of red on such ugly small things !!

They look really good. Agree with your thoughts about spacing them out a little.

Looks fantastic as it is to me. Great choice of wheels
Hopefully the above smiley displays correctly, however not sure I'm including it correctly as even on the preview it displays "colon capital d"

They look great fitted.
I suppose you could add spacers but it looks like your car sits well on them as they are.
