Alloy advice

marty72 · 02-03-2009, 01:35 AM

Hi guy's
Just looking for some advice. I fancy a change of alloy's and have my mind set on the M6 style rims, seen a few photo's and think they set the 335i coupe off nicely, correct me if I'm wrong but you can't fit the Original 20" M6 rims to a 335i, so I was wondering who you guy's think provide the best replicas at the best price?

many thanks.

20' rims can be done on 335i but i think fenders have to be rolled, then CSL style rims are prettty nice for about the same price or maybe VM v710s are just a little bit more expensive but are really nice also. good luck.

Ask redE93cab, he has the M6 reps.

The M6 reps are a straight fit but make sure you get the staggered sized ones!

A LOT of the cheap ebay ones are for four identical sized and offset rims - these will NOT fit correctly!

Mine have the original run flat tyres fitted on them. The original 225M wheels were 8J and 9J (front and rear respectively), I upped this to ET34 8.5J and ET37 9.5J to fill the arches a little more. The PCD is 5x120. If you look for these sizes they will fit your E92 without a problem. Not sure about 20's but as others have said, I believe some arch rolling will be required.

They look great IMO and really suit the car well. No arch mods were required at all.

cheers, Paul
