Gaz 1042 Report post Posted October 27, 2010 I have some sitting in my garage at the moment and they don't look any better on the floor than on the car Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravo 34 Report post Posted October 27, 2010 I thought e9's were predominantly style 31's? or 33's. How easy are e36 style 17's to get? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

westy 614 Report post Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) They are not the same as these are they Tony ? Trademe Not quite the same. See the centre cap and sharper spokes. small / shoulder profile tires westy ... thats what give wheels like these the 'look' Yeah, like a 205/45/16 or some such. In white with yellow lettering on the tyres ha. Not sure how that would go with the chrome though and they look horrible in silver.

sascha 17 Report post Posted November 4, 2010 Haha I probably did it wrong, just did again and got 8.65mm I get 8.65mm too, But then went to an online calculator and found 9mm. Maybe the 9mm is just rounded up? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
