Bro ill take em if they fit e46

I have grey rear upper seats haha if your looking for those to

Pmd you

Pm me dave

Yeah i have no idea who did it but i know they have been passed around in that condition for a while befor i brought them

Yeah that can work. Then go through all of the sanding grits 80-3000 and then use a polishing compound on the end of a drill or polishing machine of sorts. I can help if you want to get it done professionally know of a cheap place

Thanks man what wrap tho? Just heat wrap that one would normally use for exhaust manifolds

Im not sure what favors i could possibly owe you. But im happy to help you with any questions you may have. Maybe have some photos of your wheels are the 3 piece?

Thanks ill wrap the perforated pipes is there a special wrap to use or just exhaust heat wrap?

Sorry no before style 32 shots

Here are some photos of other wheels ive done most are curbing repaired and painted etc most of the prep work i did myself hours of sanding etc

BBS LM (above)

Work equip 05 (all work repairing lips (3 piece)

BBS RG (curbing and paint)

BBS RC (curbing, paint and center caps)

Racing dynamics RGR (curbing and paint (spray can)

BMW style 32s (curbing and spray paint)

I think thats been the problem, 5x120 fits commodore so lots of our decent wheel stock has gone through the buthole of trademe and out the otherside. Both my sets of LMs where in similar order when I got them and I restored them both back to mint.

The only redeeming factor is you can get them for cheap when they look like this.

Nice work on the resto.

Thanks. Yes i agree but also with the massive influx of replica/cheaply made wheels lots of the quality damged wheels are coming back around and with a new appreciation of genuine wheels especially on the euro scene are getting repaired and restored.

Ive done a few wheel over the years and its almost been for the fun of it most dont even make it to the car haha but its worth it because more genuine wheels make it into the market

Im not sure how exhaust will sound. Its kinda just for shits and giggles its costing nothing but the $80 muffler and i still have 2 other stock ones and if its a real nasty sound which i figure it will be ill just use it for track days etc lost a fair bit of weight from baffling

If you have any suggestions on how to improve sound on a budget id like to hear them. Was going to wrap the perforated pipe?

I have plans for a proper exhaust system this is purely for the fun of it

Photo shoot ready?

Photo shoot ready?

Haha great hopefully all goes well had help with the welding a family member is an engineer. cant weld very well as it is. And alloy is quite hard.

SAVE THE WHEELS

I also put 10mm spacers on the rear to sharpen the fitment. Now offset +12!!

Hey another slight update brought a few stock exhaust and i wanted to gut one and see what it sounds like and before you judge me i will have anoth stock one to revert back to if it sounds like crap they were very cheap so it doesn't matter either way.

Not finshed yet (on holiday at the moment) just thought id post what ive done.

I went thought 3 cutting disc and a big rubbish bag of what looks like hair. Only removed baffling from chambers 2, 3 and 5 may do chamber 1 depending on how it sounds

Specs are 5x120 18x8 square et35 and around et 23 with faces flipped

Hey guys, just wanted to share some picture of a set of BBS LM wheels I've repaired. Such a shame to see nice/rare wheels forgotten and sometimes scrapped. So I gave these a new lease on life.

Wheels were very curbed, bent and a few flat spots, so I stripped them apart, gave them a good clean, soaked bolts and cleaned them with a tooth brush.

The curbing (missing chunks) were welded back up and some small cracks around bolt holes were welded up and redrilled. The flat spots in 2 wheels were then removed and all wheels were made true again.

The excess welds were machined back. Then finally, finished polished.

I had to find a full set of center caps which was quite tricky and expensive. Long story short, I ended up buying another set of wheels and using the caps and then selling on. Didn't paint the centers as a new project came up for my M3 and didnt have time to paint but would have painted in the original silver had this gone ahead.

Hope you enjoy!

Look at travel between wofs looks like they only drive to for the wof and back haha

Correct offset is around 23 in the rear and 38 in the front depending on width

Factory 19s are rear 19x9.5 et23

Front 19x8 et47

Im running 18x9 et22 and 18x10 et20

Sold.
