Nice work, it will look awesome on some 17" BBS replicas

This part of your original post is what leads me to believe it is the tyres. Run Flats are notoriously hard and noisy anyway. How old are they? Did you run your hand along the inside edge of the tyre from the front to the back? If it is not smooth the tyres wil be bmaking the noise you described originally. cheers

Your car will probably also have pre and after cat sensors so you will need to replace with a high flow cat. I am sure Glenn will be along soon to either dispute this or back it up

From what you have described it will not be a wheel bearing, it will most likely be scalloped tyres. It is very very common with tyres that have been underinflated or cars with worn shocks, and most people think that it is wheel bearings. Run your hand from the back to the front on the inside edge of the tyre. If it has an up and down feel to it (like a scallop shell funnily enough) then the tyre has scalloped and this wil be the cause of the noise. The only way to fix is it to buy new tyres, which we can help with cheers Johno

19" staggered fit for 3 series BMW

Are they staggered fit? Ie wider at the rear? What size tyres do you currently have front and rear? If you want it to look wider you should but a wider or lower offset wheel on.

let me know if you want the centres for them

Welcome along - great to see another E38.

Grant @ GT Refinishers in Walls Road. If you go and see him make sure you said that we sent you so he gives you the best price. DON'T run spacers on your car - it is far to nice to be doing silly things like that Spacers have ben covered here numerous times but the short version is that they are illegal but can be certed which makes them legal. Are your current wheels staggered fit? ie wider at the rear? Do you know the widths?

^ Thanks HT, we try our best! Look what also just arrived! 16" and 17" Alpina reps...... take a look at the centre cap

Nice work ray. I should bring the 7 up but I think I would only get depressed with all the faults that would show up It would be a nice drive though - up through East Coast Bays.

Hi Mike Did you get them from our Christchurch branch? I have some Borbet centre's up here for them cheers Johno

Give me a call re painting your wheels. We have a very very good guy down the road from us who does lots of custom work and his pricing is far betterthan wheelfixit.

BBS Style weaves 17x7.5's

Believe me we didn't want to . However this factory has been a nightmare to deal with. Remember these wheels were supposed to be here early this year. When we get more made we will definitley be including the 5x120 low et fitment

Correct - nothing gets past you We did actually order some in 5 series fitment but they never turned up, along with half of the 15" wheel order
