Car looking better than ever on DW mate  ;)

Style 95 + E39  ;)


Genuine BMW style 95 staggered set ( F 9J and R 10J) wrapped in brand new Uniroyal Rainsport 2 (F 245/35/19 and R 265/30/19).
Style 95s were found and the web in cosmetically ropey condition but sound mechanical shape. Centre bores machined open to 74.1mm to fit E39. Fully refurbed in Alpina Silver.

Lots of research done and settled on the rear tyre size (I know 275 would be correct) to prevent tyres catching arches. Did not fancy them getting rolled, so slight stretch on the rears.

What do you think  8)

Teaser (loads more pics available)  :P

Looks spot on with the new rimmage. Although I do prefer not such a stretched look on something as classy.

I think I prefer the OEM parallels  if I am honest

I find myself agreeing with 535dboy here

I think your car looks stunning.................and not doubting the wheels are fine looking things. I just feel the overall package looked better with the standard parallels & ideally in OEM finish as prior to the feature shoot.

I hope this does not offend you mate  ;)
