Massively better compared to oem discs and pagid pads. No dust on my silver alloys either (textar e-pads). Had to emergency brake from high speed a couple of nights ago and they did a good job.

Kyle, my soft is red already. It's just hidden due to the hardtop.



Weather permitting, I may remove the hardtop this weekend as I'm on late shifts next week. Gives me a chance to drive to work topless

Would be good to see the red roof with the new wheels. I've always been tempted to get a set of them for my E46, the more I look at them the more I like them.

What size and widths are they?

18x8 et 47 front
18x8.5 et 50 rears (20mm spacers on to bring them out).

I shall try and get some pics this weekend with the roof on show. I think it'll look alright. Better than the black wheels anyway

Got a quote from the wheel specialist for a standard silver refurb. £384 gtf!

When you come to sell them can you let me know please, I may be interested.

Can't believe it's taken all these years for you to get rid of that horrible black, I don't care how much you pay as long as they change

I.know, I just got lazy in the end and had a load of things to pay out for. Got a decent bit of free money from work so managed to pay a few things off and put some away for the car, finally

Still need to get rid of those 19'' bbs lm-r replica's. They were awesome, just a shame the ride was terrible due to the lack of rubber.

I like them, but the 107's will be going back on. Had a decent quote in shadow chrome, so going to book it in.

I would if they were perfect, but they need a refurb. They do look smart, though I prefer the angular design of my black wheels.

That's all well and good but you don't have to drive 10,000 miles a year in it. The ride was so bad on the 19'' wheels. I didn't think it was too bad, until I went back to 18's.

The silver wheels are also only on whilst I sort out a refurb on my black wheels.

Wheels booked in for Monday Finally. After almost 4 years, the day has finally come to get rid of the black wheels

Also just bought a Facelift rear bumper cheap off ebay. It's black and needs a respray but will mean I can fit and wire in my Facelift rear lights at long last.
