KyleK 1 Report post Posted January 5, 2015 Hi, I have recently purchased this E46 320i. It came with these rims which I was told were BMW 5 series rims. Now I am not sure where it actually came from, so I was wondering if anyone knew where they are actually from or what they are ? I am thinking of getting them painted (not black !) or selling them and getting new ones. Also the car is now sitting on stock springs. In the photo they are sitting on compressed springs. They didn't have 100mm clearance so i wanted it with stock springs fitted, I have the lowering springs in the garage, and i was wondering if its possible for a spring to be de-compressed ?? I'd like to lower it but dont want it to be under 100mm clearance. Thanks guys !! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm considering getting them powder coated. I do like it lowered but i just want it to have 100mm clearance so i don't need a cert. And the springs i have go lower than 100mm.. hmm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
