    Thanks for all the advice guys, chuffed with the new look!

    Looks much better, much less wideboy! I had the same wheels as you when I bought the car and switched them for mpars. It should ride better on 17s as well.

    Thanks! And yeah I've found it rides much nicer with the 17s... Less harsh over rough surfaces and bumps etc. Although it seemed to corner ever so slightly better with the other wheels - weird?!

    Overall I'm really pleased with them though!

    LOL you're right... would you beleive it - the dealer wants £30 for a set and can't get them until wednesday, motorworld haven't got any for my car and Halfords want £36 for them!

    I've got to give it to the guy on the counter though... He told me £36 - That's a bit steep I said, to which he replied "Welcome to Halfords". LOL

    LOL again - Got a set today with two keys (I tend to lose things!) so feeling a bit more secure now. Gutted my old ones won't 'work' with these wheels... They're really good they have real keys and everything!

    Looks good for reps. So you do have them pointing in the other (wrong) direction on the other side of the car?

    IMO T-Stars are the best looking wheel for an E34. Second best would be ACS Type II's (single piece version). M-Pars come in third. And I wouldn't care for anything else on an E34.

    Yeah they go the other way on the other side! I would've liked them to all go the same way but for that price i couldn't pass them up.

    I agree - I like the T-stars and the M-pars but I'm not sure what the other ones are like, but I think I'll have a look!
