  1. Genuine lower control arm bushes are about $170 each so that makes $340 for parts.

    Fitting is a bit tricky but only 1 hour to do on a hoist sounds like you are being overcharged.

    If you have 17 inch wheels or larger fit the offset M3 bushed to get more caster -It reduces the tram lining (Tyres following grooves or changes in raod surface).

    so how much that would be for part and labor? r u doing this? thanks for the reply


  2. im think the castor is need for control arm, I've brought my car to BMWorkshop and they ask me to change it, brand new will cost roughly $600 (includes labor), im looking for a second hand one, and can ask my friend change it with a lower labor price :)


  3. agree with the above, ive had that problem with my wheels (the mags themselves) being to wide and they rubbed on my suspension so I cudnt use them even with low profiles, was annoying, maybe it could just be width???

    if there is no solution then will be real sad, I really like the wheels and already spent money on it :(:(, hope that zenetti will come up with something

  4. what size tyres are you running? Is it hitting on the front or rear? Do you know what width the wheels are? Which model BMW do you have? Sorry for all the questions, but the more info you give us, the more likely we are to be able to come up with a solution for you. :)

    Thanks for all the reply guys

    Im currently running on 17", tyres are 215/45R17 for both front and rear

    Wanna put on 18" , tyres are 225/40R18 for front and 255/35R18 for rear

    and when I fitted the wheels on it hitting the front suspension, im having an 318i 1998, new shape

    can u estimated the cost as well, thanks a lot guys


  5. I have a set of 18", but when I fitted to my car, the tyre touching the car suspension, is that any chance I can higher the car suspension or so watever to fit in the wheels, and if there's a solution, how much roughly will it cost? plz reply cuz this wheels look really lovely on my car


  6. @entscheidend: will do once I have the camera, my flatmate just out of town for few days, I only have a camera fone, dont think that will be good enough

    @Penrod: thanks for the advice man, but I hope I can do the Alpina for a fair price then get a smaller second hand wheels, so can save about 1k, we just have a new baby so many thing to spend on, and spend leave the money stay on the car is not a good choice anymore :)


  7. u said it's rare but u also said no one will buy it for 2k, I currently need some cash and I think I will get a cheap wheels if some one buy the Alpina, but if no one take 2k then that would be very sad :( I think I can get around that, never mind, will try to deal with some wheels dealer, hope can find a good price, thanks for the reply mate


  8. Are they off the silver Alpina'd e46 on trademe for about 2k ?

    no this one has not been on TM yet? Im plan to put it on but dont know how much the wheels worth so just ask you guys, if some one interesting I can do the sale here, which is better than on TM where I have to pay commission :)
