[evnmopwr]

ok, so because of my anxiety issues, I said to hell with Saturday collection and to hell with tomorrow Collection.

I got into the car. Drove down to Paarl like my life depended on it and Collected my new wheels :blowheart::blowheart::blowheart:

[rodga]

Awesome!

 

[evnmopwr]

And i supposed to be spraying the car.. LMAO

:fencelook:

 

[individj]

absolutely dope.....Exclusive...:cartel:

 

[Fordkoppie]

While I am sure it will look sick, there is no way those rear wheels will fit inside the arches of the e46.

 

[UpNcOmiNg!]

One of the best wheels ever made! raise: :inlove:

 

[evnmopwr]

@fordkoppie, i have to agree. I plan on calling Hi Tech mag repairs in gauteng tomorrow to habe them machine the wheel to clear the arches. Cost etc.

The other option, i still have the e46 m3 front fenders and rear arches so maybe this would be the best route then get car sprayed 1 time.

But im just chuffed that i got them. The rest is tmrws issue. Lol

 

[individj]

guess its time for those M3 arches

 

[evnmopwr]

Went to check the garage to make sure yesterday was not a dream

Amazed how clean these wheels are.
Almost dont want to fit them and just store them too look at. LMAO
And Continental tires are so decent....

Centre caps, of the many i have LOL, fitted

---

@individj , bru, i will cut my arches to make these fit. And buy that Wide body kit stuff of Ebay even. LMAO! :fencelook:

 

[individj]

yip...theyre going on no matter how haha....they are damn beautiful ...you make me want to buy a Z3 and pop a hardtop on it to fit these...

 

[evnmopwr]

So im looking at +- 5cm Xtra poke.. :fencelook:

Prior to test fit, will it work? :roflol:

 

[individj]

thought it was ET15.....well camber her up son :fencelook:

You won't be able to machine enough off safely, widebody touring incoming.
