Well I just bought a Euro 3.2 M3 Cab in Imola Red 99' with 15K miles.
1st Mod: BBS 18" RSII Wheels size tires ?
Well I've been hooked up with a set of 18x8.5 BBS RSII's brand new for A$2200(US$1200) for rims only which is dirt cheap cos they're US$689 a wheel in the US, there one of the bloody most expensive/strongest/lightest wheels around. Also I've got a buyer for my 17's so could do a trade. The 17's will go for min A$2000(US$1100) for a set of and $2500(US$1500) including the spare wheel. I dunno what size tires/combo and brand to get for the BBS's ?? Bridgestone S03's or Dunlop SP 8000 both around the same price. Sizes are 225/40 all round, 235/40 all round or 225/40 F & 245/35 in the rear (even 265 but wont be able to lower much).
They're 2 piece forged wheels very light and strong.
Comments appreciated.
Thanx mate
Nico
