Hey. Haven't had any luck finding any 16 or 17inch basket weaves for my car yet. So if anyone knows of someone who might have some let me know.

Cheers

If you change your mind and decide to sell them. Let me know.

Also can you tell me if the alloys are orignal wheels of after market. If they are after market can you tell me what brand they are. I really like them.

Cheers

Hello

Im looking to buy 16s 17s basket weaves for e34. Of any model bmw that will be straight fit or using locator rings.

Would like to buy with tyres aswell if possible.

Anything considered.

Cheers

Hello again

Well missed out on some e39 orignal 16s basket weaves last night so still on the hunt? Looking for 16s 17s Basket weaves for E34 with tyres if possible. If anyone knows anyone with some let me know.

Cheers Kiwi535 that link was very helpfull. Cheers And thanks to everyone else for advice. I know what I need now.

Anyone know of anywhere that has 2nd hand wheels in Wellington?.

Anything considered.

Cheers all.

Forget last thread.Have found out 235/60/16s are to tall for E34.

How much do you want for tyres Brent?

Cheers Brent for offer. I think Ive got some sorted.

One question, Can anyone tell me if the whole centre cap of orignal 15inch basket weave of E34 is the same size as orignal 16inch basket weave of E38?. I want to get 16s but don't like the centre cap its a little different to the 15s I have so want to know if I can swap them over.

Also just want to check 235/60/16s are ok to run on E34?

Any advice would be great.

Cheers

Hello Im looking at getting some bigger wheels for my e34. I would like basket weaves 16 inch or bigger or something similar. But not sure which orignal wheels from other models will fit.

Any help very welcome

Cheers

Ok cheers will have a look at the rim to see. So its not ideal but I could run 225 on them and not have have any trouble. And I take it theres loads of room for them on e34 with no rubbing?. Sorry Im new to bmws so could be stupid question

Are they the only 2 sizes of tyre i could go for with them?

Cheers for you advice

Ok so I could run alloys with 205/60/16 for now and replace with 225/55/16s later on?. Im not sure if they are 7" or 8" does it make a big difference?.

Cheers

Hello Can anyone tell me if

BMW 16'' off 7 series E32, 5 stud 120mm pcd, 205/60/16 will fit on E34 530i with no problems?

Cheers

Its happening when driving at low speeds. haven't testing it when coasting my guess is it would do it. It started 3 days ago and have got worse everyday.

Cheers all for advice.

Have noticed a knocking that started 3 days ago and getting worse. Have done the control arms, sway bar links so thinking the shocks might be knackered anyway. so might have to get it all done now.

Does anyone no what else would cause knocking at low speed from front end.

Hey

Thinking about lowering my 530i. I don't want to have it sitting on the deck just lowered a bit, and still have a nice ride. it has orignal suspension in it a the moment and will look at shocks later when money allows.

So any ideas on the springs to go for. Im new to bmws so not sure how many options there are.

Also have seen some people only lowering the front. Is that a good idea or not?

Cheers

Cheers all for advice will go get some quotes soon. Will let you all know how it goes.

Also looking at getting a few repairs done on the interior. Need driver seat recovered as i can't find any cloth sports seats to match mine. anyone know good place to go in wellington?

Cheers

Hello Ive got a E34 89 530i and am thinking of getting bigger wheels for it or refurbish the baskets weaves on it. where are you im in wellington?

Hello. Im looking at getting my bonnet resprayed and want a good job done. My car is red so want some one good at matching it up.

Or if anyone has a red bonnet of e34 in good condition I might look at that too.

Cheers

Im just researching what alloys, strut brace, are all worth roughly . So I can see what I can afford. I need new tyres so I was just seeing if it was worth getting new alloys and tyres instead. Just looking a 2nd hand gear.

Ok didn't know that. will try and find some picks of them.

Cheers for advice.

I haven't got the money for shocks springs etc at the moment. so thats why I was thinking a strut brace would be a start. Do you think its not worth getting one?.

Cheers kiwi535 for letting me know you have some alloys, but they are too big for what I want, I really want 17s.

Im looking to improve the handling on my 89 e34 530i.

I thought I would start with getting a strut bar for the front. Any advice on where to get one and the best brand to get. Or does anyone have second hand one?.

Also looking at getting 17inch alloys for it. So if anyone is selling some let me know.

Any advice would be great.

Cheers

Cheers Glenn.

Can I do that myself, if so how do I check it?
