New wheels and other shizz

Recommended Posts

Guest Simon*

Some of you may or may not know that (a while ago) I managed to score a set of M-Pars for the E34. They resided in Auckland and after throwing out a call to some BSers I managed to rope in some assistance from afar. Big thanks to both "the storer" and "the transporter" :)

I've just today picked up the the wheels and they are in pretty good condition so I'm happy. Might be a week or two at least before I get them on the car but we'll see.

And here's another Technoviolet beast I've been parking next to the last few nights. Purple FTW!

I kinda like the balloons on the rear. Look like drag slicks if you squint :lol:

Noob Q: Are they the same size as the old wheels?

More or less the same size, 18x9" for the M-Par rears vs 18x9.5" Beyerns

Are they staggered? Tyres look good at the rear, but a little balloonish at the front.

I like the old wheels better.

...NOT.

Looks good Si. ;)

You know those Simpsons moments when Homer goes "Why you little ...." and grabs Bart by the throat?

You=Bart, me=Homer :ph34r:

NOT ;)

Yeah staggered 8 & 9, but no the current tyres are too big all round so will invest in some new ones

I'm going to be a girl and say, even though the M-Par's are looking sweet, I still think the Beyerns look more staunch and better.

:)

Can't say too much cos my wheels are dumb. So i'll be a good girl and be quiet.

They look good on the E34 Simon, still a good alloy after all these years.Always worth $$$$ if you decide to sell later etc if you go for another look.

Also, do these wheels provide acceptable angles of slip around wet roundabouts when attempting to find Ollie's house?

Am really pleased with the fit and the look :) They are staggered 18's - 8 and 9" wide.

Beyerns will probably go up for sale soonish. Incidentally for those interested they will NOT fit E39 I'm afraid. Well the fronts will (they are E39 centre bore) but the rears are the smaller E34/E38 diameter.

18" x 8.5" ET15 and 18" x 9.5" ET15. Have hubcentric rings to go with too :)
