zenetti 0 Report post Posted August 1, 2007 Wow didnt know this thread would reach two pages! Sold the car and now brought a 318i manual e36 lol. Wanted manual and it was an impulse buy. Got it at a very good price except comes with 17" chromes but half the chrome has worn away. Should I get it re-chromed? and if so how much approx? or do a DIY somehow and take off the chrome and repaint white lol. or something different. There is a picture of the car in " My Rides" listed up the top as a new thread. Thanks guys for all the help!!!! Regards Sven good luck trying to getthem rechromed - it's just about impossible. best bet would be to get them dipped to remove chrome and then polished maybe - but it all costs money!It's funny how we follow the american trends, pity we are about 3 years behind. My mate was at SEMA in 04 and black centred machined lip were all the rage - now it is coloured centres to match your car colour. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jammasterjames 0 Report post Posted August 1, 2007 Chrome is a by product of the US hip-hop scene, someone thought it would be a good idea to stick on Malaysian import wheels. .. it actually went out of fashion in the US about 4 years ago .. No one's told West Auckland about this..... There's still a place fo chrome, but tha whole car's gots to be blingin' and pimper than a mo fo for it to work.

zenetti 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2007 mabye ive missed it but does anybody know the best offset for 18"s on a 328i coupe on superlows? lol many thanks Hi charliewill depend on the width wheel you are running. 18x7.5 - 18 x 8 35 et or higher 18x9 (rear) AT LEAST a 45et or you will get guard rub on the rear. I see in your other post you are looking for springs, I may be able to help you out, also with wheels if you need them, cheers Johno Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
