Yes i know this is a VX220 Forum and most people think BMW Drivers a d1cks, which i would have to agree most of which are! But im after some new alloys for my e46 coupe and so far these are my fav! [attachment=20395:Breyton_GTS1.jpg] The problem i have is that BMW decided to make the PCD 5 X 120 which seems to be rare amongst the alloy wheel world. Opinions wanted good or bad thumbsup

Only one alloy on an E46 for me and that's the standard fit CSL wheel (or replica, I guess). thumbsup Just steer clear of E90 M3 alloys or worse yet, M6 replicas, as they're awful even on an M6.

Yeah i did look into CSL's but it is near on impossible to get them to fit on a standard E46, unless of course you go down the Velocity Reps route which is fairly expensive.

That is the exact colour of mine which is one of the main reasons i will prob get these alloys, i found the pic and decided i must have them.

I had 19" Hartge's on my old E46 saloon, which I loved - but they never seemed as 'big' as, say, the 19" M3 wheels..
