Sammo 2544 Report post Posted August 19, 2020 Added LCI taillight inners for a different look. I'm not convinced I like the led 'bubble-look' lights on the full LCI Led taillights (or at least the aftermarket ones) so tried this as an in between step. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sammo 2544 Report post Posted August 19, 2020 @qube cheaper too, I may get there on the LEDs eventually Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qube 3570 Report post Posted August 19, 2020 yea, its probably not cheap. and aftermarket ones are probably not as good as genuine. Should have donated my set before I sold my coupe 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
325_driver 422 Report post Posted August 22, 2020 (edited) Picked up a pair of OEM style 193 for the e91 wagon. Been waiting for ages for them to pop up! They have 255s all round which fits nice but a bit too wide for my liking, going 225/40 all round since I have a spare set of potenza re050a run flats Will be going gunmetal after I deal to some light kurbage.

They should be staggered, 8 and 8.5, in which case your tyres should be staggered as well. nice looking rim on your e91! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

325_driver 422 Report post Posted August 23, 2020 @qube no 8" have 255s and 8.5" have 255s too. I'm stripping tyres and painting them anyway. They are hifly on them, I'm using a spare set of potenzas or eagles 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacko 2154 Report post Posted August 23, 2020 I have a set of these sitting in my garage, need a clean up and respray too.. They were going to go in the 330s as the style 193s on that are absolutely poked... might be a good lock down job to see how they sit on the 130 though.

325_driver 422 Report post Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) @Jacko I'll upload when I'm done on mine too, I'm going a light shade of gun metal colour on it. If you got a spray gun I would recommend this paint called CV AUTOTHANE it's 2pk paint and had some real nice finishes. Had it on some wheels that have done 10,000km+ and holds up to road conditions and stones no sweat. Cheap too, 200ml will cover faces for all 4. (+50ml 4:1 hardener) <$50 These are all in CV AUTOTHANE, gunmetal colours are matte thunder, dark shade is called Terminator. Autolink group supplies the paint.

325_driver 422 Report post Posted August 28, 2020 Got rid of the kurbage and Painted the style 193. Gunmetal / metallic asked the paint mixer to surprise me with adding some black in it. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

325_driver 422 Report post Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) That offset 8.5" on the rears soooo much nicer than the BBS square 8j all round. Like a glove No regrets with that color, no idea how to get the painter to replicate it for the future tho ? Took the Potenza 245/40/18 run flats for a drive, and I don't know about other brands but I was struggling to hear the difference between non RFT road noise and run flats. To be honest it might even be quieter, so there's a plus one vote for Bridgestone Potenzas Edited August 31, 2020 by 325_driver 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
