wrong wheels. style 264..135i wheels is what I'm looking for

[Pip]

Ahha. I read that wrong. I honestly didn't know the style of M135's and thought you were looking for those but google helped correct me.

These pop up for sale all the time over on 1addicts. Saw a set the other day for $700.

[Washburn]

I got my set at 1addicts for $475 shipped (No TPMS or centercaps). GLWS.
They were a bit dirty and had some curb rash on 1 wheel and $80 later that wheels looks brand new, so in the end it was a good deal I think...

[MooseX]

Washburn you have 264's on your e46? Can you post a pic or two if you do?

good deal.

i checked over there and will continue to watch the 1 series sites.

I'm goin to the car grave yards today in Sac'. There's 4 BMW yards to comb through

good deal.

I still haven't got them on my ZHP. Will do it pretty soon though.

[Pip]

Unfortunately the BMW yards in Sac are pretty empty and all the goods are picked through. You'd have to get there the same day as a drop off and fight about thirty other dudes for parts.

Unless you have a secret spot.

[MooseX]

yup hit or miss at sac

thanks for that link Jeff. that's about 3 and change from me. maybe he'll meet me in NAPA..save me 40 min

i just talked to the guy. we're meeting monday in Sonoma

[jvr826]

Right on!

[MooseX]

I see your Santa Cruz CO. Great place to drive...what a total labyrinth of roads in and around skyline/Highway 9 all the way to the city. Fk' I don't know a better area to drive in. I almost moved from Tahoe to Santa Cruz just for the driving (amongst other obvious reasons)

[MooseX]

I'm gonna go with a 235/40 squared set up...Sumitomo HTZ 3's for econimical reasons AND because I love them on my Xi. There a good fkn' deal. It's either those or Hankooks Ventus V12's but the Sumo's are rated as good for less mula. I can't afford no fancy schmancy Conti's or Michelins or what ever costs 200 bux a tire.

I'm an hour away from the west coast tire rack distribution warehouse east of RENO. If you've ever been there it's tire heaven. GINORMOUS warehouse...just the biggest gdamn warehouse I've ever seen. It's at least a 1/4 mile deep and nearly as wide. I see all those tires and it's gets me all worked up hehe

*any suggestions concerning small spacers when I rotate the fronts to the rears?

[zhpnsnv]

Can't wait to see what these look like on a ZHP.

[MooseX]

Me too. I just love 5 spokes. I've got a set of super light alu' BMW 5 spoke 16's that look exactly like 264's on my xi for winter (forgot the style #). Def' fits the body style though... and they weigh less than 20 lbs each. Steering is alot lighter...

264's are 24 lbs..so somewhat lighter than 135's

[Washburn]

Here are some pics I have collected showing style 264s on E46 cars (some are not ZHPs):

[MooseX]

they all look great. really gives the E46 a classic look

I'm all in now. Just confirmed the meet tomorrow to buy

[Washburn]

Yep - and I think they look even better on lighter colored cars... :) So I am excited to see how they look on my AW coupe ...
And think of how easy these will be to (keep) clean !!!
Wonder if the small ///M badges can/will go on the 264s somehow...but without a dedicated 'slot'/pocket for them, might look weird..

congrats!
Will you be running them with or without spacers? I know for a fact that pics I just posted above showing the silver coupe and the black vert with 264s do NOT have spacers at all. I think they still look great. (The others might also not have them, but not 100% cure).
This debate with/without spacers is what has been holding me from putting the wheels on so far...

[MooseX]

what about the offset of the front compared to the rears? Is that not when you want to a small spacer?

[Washburn]

idk - some people just want spacers to get a 'flush' look.
As the 264 wheels are narrower (0.5 in?) than our stock wheels, i guess they can sit 'in' a few cm deeper in the wheel well - so a 10mm or so spacer will push them out ...
I have heard advice both ways - but more for with spacers than without - i might just go without 1st an see how they look.
