After a 3 week mission I got the rims fitted. I bought them from a mechanic that told me he got them from someone who told him the rims came off a E36. I took his word for it. The rims was damaged a bit so I had them fixed and resprayed. Then it was discovered the rims would not fit as the center bore were too small. The engineers made the center bore diameter bigger according to E63 spec. Then the PCD was off. The engineers then made the new PCD holes. We were going to make the new PCD holes in the hubs, but discovered that the thickness in between the existing holes is much less and the hub could break if using the thin parts.
I think it is Audi rims as the PCD was 5x112 and center bore 57.1mm which is the same for A4, A6 and A8. And the center bore was smaller than E36 72,6mm.
I had 205/65/15 wheels and now 225/45/17. I must say... I have to get used to all the new rattles & harder ride. I supose there some fixing to do on suspension etc making noises.
This is what it looks like with new PCD
And here are some pics of my ride. This is actually the first modification. It needs a drop in the front I think. And those wheel caps. I can get from Mag Addiction CPT for R350 each and Autostyle on JHB for R120 each. Any advise would be appreciated and if I can get center caps cheaper somewhere else as well.
