New shoes for the BMW

[Brad B]

For years I have lusted after some alloy wheels for the BMW. The wheels were a factory optional-extra for the 2002tii model only. They were pretty rare. These very wheels are now being remanufactured in limited numbers and I snagged 4 of 8 in the USA. I'm psyched! No plus+1 or plus+2 fitments for me, I had to have the original spec 2002tii wheels, which are a massive 13"x5". That's 1/2" wider than regular 2002's. (Stop laughing, these weren't cheap!) Ok, so they might not seem sexy in most folks eyes but they are original. And I love 'em.



The packages arrive.

Sealing with HD Poxy.

BEFORE: Stock steel wheel and hubcaps.

AFTER: Forged alloys. Crazy lightweight.

They make you happy, enhance the OEM look and look great! What more to ask? The wheel reinvented !



What are you doing with the old ones?

What are you doing with the old ones?

I'll keep them. Heck, I have extra wheels for practically all my cars. Why change that trend! Luckily I have a huge attic in the garage.

Looks good Brad!



So there are seriously only two sets of those in the country? Yeah, I'll bet they weren't cheap!

Congrats man! They look great! It's an awesome feeling to finally snag something that you thought would never come your way.

I'm sure one of these days Brad's BMW is going to tour the country from concours to concours! Looking fantastic! :yo:

Nothing better than sealing brand new wheels before putting them on! Nice.
