Apex 693 Report post Posted May 15, 2008 (edited) I wouldn’t say that, it has a nice kit and is already lowered, first port of call for me wouyld be Trade-Me to hunt out some M3 wheels! Or some 318i Sport wheels. Im not sure if anyone remembers but BMW-NZ has a 318i near the end of the E36’s production run, it features a M3 kit and some nice multi spoked wheels. I remember driving one new and it was a nice little car. Was dark peppermint greenish colour. Edited May 15, 2008 by Apex Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greenday-rulz21 6 Report post Posted May 15, 2008 Welcome mate, There was a set of polished Style 24's on Trade Me a week or so ago, although they were rep's they were bloody cheap. Don't know if they're still there. Pretty interested myself, 'cause one of mine are pretty scratched, and polished looks really good IMO Cheers Nick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
