Hi,
I'm on the look-out for a set of 5 imperial-size alloy wheels for my '95 BMW
525 Touring (E34). The ones that are on it are the metric ones, and I'm having real problems finding tyres for it.Something like 225/55 R16 would be ideal...I don't need anything fancy. Wheels off an E39 would be ok too...I can get spigots to make 'em fit.
I'm in central-ish Scotland, if anyone knows of any not too far away.
Thanks,
Iain
Same wheel and tyre size as OEM ones for an E34.
Just look on ebay - they're going to be 2 a penny (almost)
What the other bloke said. Ebay. Most people want bigger wheels, so the smaller (as in, 15", 16") wheels are often going cheap complete with a set of tyres on ebay. I know someone who's found out it's cheaper to buy second hand wheels and tyres than wheels...
I obviously meant wheels and tyres than tyres. My brain isn't working this morning.
Ah well, anyone got a spare v40 steel wheel (There seem to be none in the scrappys round here & the Ovlov dealer is confused by the idea of a steel wheel)
Works for me. I got a set of four decent alloys with newish Dunlops (still with rubber spikes) on for £80..
I could only just have managed to get part-worns fitted on my steel wheels for that..
When my brother bought an E34 on metric wheels, it was cheaper to buy a set of wheels and tyres from his local Chav motoring emporium than it was to buy a set of tyres.
