Well here we go! A lot of you know I've wanted M05s for a long time and a set come up for sale and I couldn't turn them down as they were a bargain. Snapped them up, arranged courier, and 2 days later they were here.
They were powder coated 2 months ago by the previous owner so there still mint! Came with 4x toyo proxes which is my preferred tyre. Unfortunately they're 45 profiles. Not to worry though as I've bought a full set of 40s to replace them and they're being fitted Friday morning.
As pictures before I also have new chrome center caps for them and I'm also waiting for silver spoke stickers to arrive!
Gave them a good polish by hand and sealed them 3 times inside and out with Poorboys wheel sealant!
Few pictures after said cleaning.
As said tyres are being fitted early doors Friday morning so ill get home and fit them before I set off for billing!

Hmm wanted a change for a little while now. For starters I love the d90s and ill always look back and love how the car sat and looked on them. But to have the car sat how I like it means having the rear wheels sat touching the arch all the time. Wich isn't exactly ideal especially when the metal part of the arch is cutting lines into the tyre wall etc .
Would be ideal if I was on air ride but I have no plan if anything like that for this.
Ive always like how M05s look on C's and now I just want to be able to use the car without the tyres getting ripped to shreds and catching the rear arches all the time .

Really don't see the appeal of these at all. Would rather have the D90's any day of the week.
Quite sad now.
