New Rims (pics) - United Bimmer Community

**komodo** · 01-07-2006, 01:11 PM

I just got my new rims on last night.

I need to find a BMW roundel that fits the center cap though... the one from my old wheels is too small.

And yes, I know I need to drop my car now, haha, except at this height I'm already getting pretty bad rubbing (http://www.unitedbimmer.com/forums/thread5862.html)...

And also keep in mind, my M3 front bumper is being shipped to me as we speak.

And I don't have a license plate because my custom plate is still being made (going to say KOMODO).

Oh, and the tires I got were Toyo Proxis 4's at 235/40/18. Much wider tire than what I was running before.

LQQKs sweet. In true UB tradition "you need" BAD ASS BRAKES NOW (don't you just love when others pillage your wallet with suggestions?)

Haha, I had my calipers painted red, but it's starting to wear off now...

However, I say FI before new brakes.... what's the point of stopping fast if you can't GET fast first? (wow, say that 5 times fast)

Yeah, I know. I want to get some BMW roundels to go there, just gotta find some in the right size. =/

I sent an email to Mike at OCW about this thread, so hopefully he'll reply here with the size I need to get.

Harry,

the car looks great. i just tried registering to reply to your post but could not because it said my email address was already taken?

anyhow, 25.4mm = 1in if you'd like to measure the centercaps. i believe the centercap emblems are available from your dealer for around $5/pc.

thanks and please let me know if you have any other questions.

regards,

Mike

OCW purchased some oe roundels for the Manarays in volume some time ago. they have a different centercap diameter than the ACS repros however.

Rooz, your car is coming along nicely as well. love the splitters.

Nice rims

Could you not have moved that bag of mulch before you took the shot?

I knew someone would mention that, haha. When I was reviewing that pic, I thought to myself it kinda looked like an advertisement for mulch.

Hey Mike, nice to see you here, lol, yeah my car has come a long way since I purchased the rims from you... it still has a long way to go, I'll have it pretty close to being done prior to my trip to Alt
