The return of my E60 M5 - Wallet drained - now Supercharged!

[ZX10R NIN]

When I saw the Dinnan I was thinking 5.8 lol, don't worry about the grumpies they'll be moaning anyway.

I will say when it comes to wheels, if you decide to change the wheels go for something with concave:




The spoiler will look good.

That spoiler suits it! You should definitely get those (M3 Competition?) wheels too. I've always thought the standard wheels are a bit conservative on your shape M5.

Yeah I think it will set it off nicely. I am planning a few more bits to it over the next few months.

I've never considered the comp wheels, I may look into that! Depends on cost and off set really.

Good point, well presented

Hahahaha, I aren't that rich! Stroker kits are massive money for these, the only worthwhile power adder at an affordable price is a supercharger.

I have been looking at the Avant Garde M359s, but a bit pricey at the moment if I don't want to run massive spacers. I would need to buy new front tyres as well.



I have someone interested in my style 166's at least.

Take a look at Stance or Vertini wheels they can be had with the exact offset required & come with a decent anti crack/buckle warranty.

If you see anything you like let me know

[TheAngryDog]

They're the same company aren't they? Same wheels on each site anyway lol.

I like a few. What's the discount? 100%?

[ZX10R NIN]

Yes they are but some wheels are exclusive to one or the other, 100% no nowhere near but their is a bit of margin but won't post on here as I don't want to upset the UK importer.

[TheAngryDog]

Ah I see!

I couldn't even see any prices anyway!

[Piginapoke]

Personally, I wouldn't anger the car and leave it be!

[Court_S]

I like the spoiler, I think it suits the car.

The Comp wheels look ace on it. Guessing the costs will be wallet puckering unless buying reps.

I am looking forward to it arriving. Yes you're right, Comp wheels (style 666M) are pretty expensive. Reps have rubbish offsets. Standard offsets are ET12 for the front and ET28 for the rear.

[DanG355]

For a cheaper wheel option how about a set of 650i wheels? I know they are similar to the M5 wheels but they really suit this generation 5-series. Saw this one on a group page and I think it looks fantastic.

[TheAngryDog]

I'm not a huge fan of them unfortunately, but thanks for the suggestion.

Looks like my new spoiler arrives tomorrow!

There’s nothing worse!
Get your hopes up and a parcel doesn’t show.

Hopefully it comes on Monday, unbroken!

[TheAngryDog]

It's arrived!! Yay!





Oh

[LetsTryAgain]

Bit of a stter.
What have the supplier said?
Would a bit of black paint cover it?

[TheAngryDog]

I'm just waiting to hear from them. I'd be happy with a partial refund. I'm going to see about putting in a bit of lacquer then put a bit of black on top.
