    Default New Rims Finally!!

    If anyone remembers any of my old posts. I had bought a set of rims about two months ago from e-bay, they were for a 3-series even though advertised for a 5 series. Sold those awhile back....bid on another set which when I received them, they turned out again to be for a 3 series as the company sent me the wrong set...well a month later, mine finally arrived after finding out where they went....got tires mounted yesterday and today we have a winter storm warning up here with lots of rain/wet snow...lol...
    Oh well, will have to take pics of them on the car next week....

    I know they are not deep dish, but I hope they will look good on the car...I have learnt that TSW disc. these about 7 years ago, they are new but were sitting in some warehouse in Newfoundland..I won the auction for $200 for the set..lol
    5X120 Et15...whoo hooo

    The only thing that sucks is if you damage one of them its going to be tough to find a replacement.

    I think they will look good! Do you need to run a spacer with these wheels?

    Ok, told the wife to pack up the kids and go to the mall cause I am puttn' ma rims on! lol,

    1ST question there is 1/2 inch of wheel bolt thread that comes out from the factory basket weave, on the new rims I have only 5/8th of an inch of thread that comes out from the rim...is that enough? Should I be using a torque wrench?

    TSW wheels tough to get? They are all over the place.......lol. I will admit having purchased such an old design, he may have a problem down-the-road. Personally, I like the split spoke style, but it's gotta have a lip. That front wheel drive look is not for me......come to think of it, that may be one of the reasons why I drive a 5 series bimmer
