Thanks Brent, those are the ones I was looking at so not genuine hu. Do you know of any style 97's for sale it appears if one goes staggered they are 7.5 in the front with an off set of 47 tyres 225/45 x17 the rear are 8.5 with 50 off set tyres 245/40 x17.

The rims Brent has sold ^ are really nice, and look superb on an E46.
They come up fairly often so perhaps worth waiting for.

Hi Graham

Take your point been trying for close on a year now missed out on the set Brent had for sale over a weekend. All the others I have noticed were in poor condition and asking an arm and a leg plus a refurbish as well. Have to be careful as the e90 series came out with a very similar style as the one's I'm after.

The E90 rims are probably Style 194. 0.5" wider at the front, but should also fit an E46 without issue.

Yes they are style 194 on the e90 's rim size start at 8 or 8.5 i believe have seen a few e46's with them fitted. Just being a bit pick ey personnel I prefer the 97's as they were fitted to the e46 Compact M sport  also which I have used as a guide on my project car Tim325.

Entirely reasonable. Your car - you're more than entitled to be picky! :)

Style 194's are a nice rim, I bet they would look nice on an E46.

I'm biased, I think they look f*#king great on mine! ^_^   And yes, there are no issues whatsoever with 224/45 and 245/40 on the e46 saloon/wagon/coupe.  

Allan knows what he wants, we talked about 194's a while back.  Fair enough to hold out for the Style 97s, and not settle.  They'll look great on the 325Ti!
