Incase anyone is looking to get new tyres, it'll be a nice time to get RE003s. http://www.bridgestonetyrecentre.co.nz/promotions/current-offer/ 

Buy 1 get 1 half price.

Size is 5x120 
9Jx19 ET37 / 10Jx19 ET21 

Has anyone put this size on their e60/e61 and if so what size tyres?

I do not want to use spacers.

Thanks for your help.

All parts are for 30 securing bolts.

The centres are cast (forged?) but are drilled 5x112 - Mercedes fit.

I'd like to sort some 4x100 centres.

Work (apparently) don't supply individual rim components... I was recently told this by the NZ Work disti - it was news to me, as a conversation I had with them (albeit a different person) a couple of years ago suggested they did. Certainly for the purposes of repairs, and so on.

Anyway... Anyone know where I can get a set of centres made up? I was thinking somewhere like 41 Degree Wheels - any other suggestions? 

I have 2 BMW space saver wheels in basically new condition. Not sure of price, so I'll start with $150-00 for the newest one, and $100-00 for the "not so new" one. Or $200-00 for both.

Price negotiable.

Pickup preferred, but can also drop off in the Wellington area.

Welcome to view/ask questions. I will reply as soon as I can.

Cheers,

I need 4 new tyres and an alignment for my '06 130i. The sizes from memory are 215/40-18 and 245/35-18. I want to ditch the run flats and switch to a regular tyre.

Quotes so far from Tony's seem to be around $1,400 for Potenza s001. Does anyone know of any options of places where I might be able to come in under a grand?

Thanks

looks like a frequent point of discussion, and probably asking what has been answered already so apologies in advance 

Will finally get to run the 435i on a decent run up north in a couple of weeks and looking at repair shops for run flats ( just in case ) unsurprisingly they arent open on a Sunday

My understanding for a minor flat there's a kit ( compressor and tyre fil type product, I dont have one ) to repair until at tyre shop back in AKL

However some comments advise the tyre fil kills the tyre, have i misunderstood?, a weekend away that includes get stuck til tyre shop opens on Monday wont go down well with me or more importantly my passenger

I mostly dont like the run flat ride but then maybe its just the BMW ride vs my usual cushy but by comparison slow boat Mazda

An easy answer for all those run flat drivers out there

Thanks

Looking for some guidance to help me diagnose some vibration I am getting from my E90 335i. Never noticed anything previously, then got a new set of tires all round, replacing the runflats with S001s. Now get a vibration/shake through the steering wheel at speeds from 90kph+. Also sometimes get some vibration under braking, I don't recall noticing this before, could be related or a coincidence. I assumed it was a balancing issue so took it to the tire place across the road for them to check, they rebalanced but said it was pretty good (I'm assuming the place that fitted the tires in the first place also did a balance). Made a small improvement but there is still noticeable vibration there. My question is do I take it to a specialist wheel alignment/balancing place for another look (do they have better equipment than your local Firestone etc), or do I start looking at other things suspension etc..?

I was curious to see where people buy their tires and if anyone has any recommendations for a good tire shop (installation and balancing with good equipment). Looks like there a fair amount of options with local tire shops, chain shops and hyperdrive. 

Cheers

I am guessing the biggest risk is these will easily get damaged going over pot holes and are only suited for everyday driving at a normal pace. Anything else I should be worried about?

Sizing is 16x8 and 16x9 with ET20 on both. Car is gonna be lowered slightly. 

Cheers.

It looks like some of the wheels are sanded and others are painted on the 'dish'.

What's a good place in Auckland, North-Shore-ish preferred, to take to get my e39 530i aligned now I've changed tyres and wheels?

Thanks!

But stone the flaming crows 👇👇👇 something has to be done on the double

ie front 225/45/17 & Rear 225/40/18

Since the rear has much more "body" compared to front, same size alloy makes rear alloy look smaller.

These days, some models have bigger rear wheels which make the car look more proportional from the side view, however their tyre sidewall seems to be about the same which means rear alloy with tyre will have bigger overall diameter. I'm sure everything is calibrated correctly by engineers.

One thing I wonder is, if I go for Front 225/45/17 & Rear 225/40/18, the alloy will look more proportional but I don't know how the smaller rear tyre sidewall will look since I can't increase the sidewall height as I need to keep to the same overall diameter.

Just can't imagine how rear with look with less tyre sidewall, will it look funny? I know if I used 225/45/18 then it will looks better since nothing has changed except for bigger alloy.

Hey Team 

Just wondering if anyone knows the name of these mags please?

 As i would really love to own them.

Thanks Richard

I have staggered M contours on the car, et41 according to the net (cant be arsed jacking it up to confirm, so let’s assume), 7.5 fronts and 8.5 rears.

If I want to fit 8” fronts with an et47 and 8.5 rears et50, in my theorising, a 10mm spacer should do the trick? Or have I got this completely arse about face?

If I haven’t, where’s a good place to get them from?

My plan is to get some 18s and put PS4s on them. Is this a good idea? What tyre sizes are best suited for what I'm wanting? Mix of comfort/grip/price.

Are these rims a good choice?  I think they're aftermarket but I love the look.

Any help is much appreciated.

Last years WoF on the Honda put the rears at 3mm/5mm. A year later  (+9k) they are 6mm/6mm.  I don't  remember replacing them.

We did drive down SH1 Picton/Christchurch earlier this year.  Is there magic down there? All the road workers were waving....

82mm (ACS) > 72.5

Does anyone know if style 120's would fit an 04 E60?

Rear 18X9 offset 18
Front 18X8 offset 14

The hype is that the new Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres are sh*t hot, and better than the PS3 before them.

Still, Bridgestone are out with the RE-004 soon too... at least war this isn't Betamax vs VHS!

Your experiences appreciated.
