nah mate. Sold those with the car. Only have the iforged equips. These will require guard rolling though coz they're 10 inch wide at the rears...in fact when I measured them....it was close to 11.5 inches lip to lip. Does make the car look tough.

Roy - Whats the correct wheel fitment for the E46 BMW's? 5 x one hundred and what?

PCD 120 x 5, do not get commodore wheels coz they may have incorrect center bore size. You will need 72.6mm center bore for the BMW otherwise u might need to run hub rings which tend to break and even new ones have been know to vibrate under speed.

also for safe fitment (assuming 19" wheels), then 8.5 front with +38 and 9.5 rears with +42 will fit without rubbing.

The iforged are

19 x 8.5 and 19 x 10, iforged don't stamp offsets as they are all custom made in the US according to specs. They don't have rubber on them coz i reused the tyres. I'm looking at 2k for the wheels but I'm flexi on pricing, just hit me with a PM if you want to drop by my place and test fit them on the car.

Wont be for another 2 weeks though coz a mate borrowed them for a photoshoot and has them locked in his garage n gone on holidays.

If you like the look of the other wheels I had on my car ( the 5 spoke volk lookalike), I can send u a link to the dealer in the US. Easy ppl to deal with and good price on shipment too.

Ok no worries.

I won't be looking at buying any rims within the next few months though. I have the transfer fees to pay and then i want to do HID's and LED's first. So I am just after a rough pricing guide on some rims+tyres so i know how much i need to save. I'll also be doing some dark tints before rims too.

I'll be looking at an 18 x 8.5 front & 18 x 9.5 rear.

Does anyone know where i can get some angel eyes? What i am really after (as stated a few times before ) is the 330Ci headlights (if i can find a pair....)

The 330ci headlights only came with Angel Eyes in the facelift models, so it wouldn't fit your car. if you get the prefacelift 330ci with projectors, you will still need to buy the AE's and fit them on.

Best option is to go aftermarket. Check out

http://www.carwear.com.au/E46%20Head%20Lights.html

Don't buy the projectors from the US as they have a different beam pattern and will be illegal here.

for LED tails, email [email protected]

Ok, thanks for that.

I have heard of people installing the aftermarket headlights (AE/Projectors) & LED tail lights, and it causing problems with the electrical system/s?

No problems with the LED tails that I've heard of. There has been an odd complaint where it flickers...but that's due to a resistor pack going bad and is an easy fix (replace resistors)

Some CCFL Angel eyes have had issues with the connectors melting due to inferior design. Just splice the wires and use separate connectors + heat shrink. LED Angel Eyes have no problems.

You can get a bulb out warning when u swap out halogens for projector HID's. Most aftermarket BMW projector lights have HID Ballasts which draw close to 55w, so you shouldn't get a bulb out warning. If you do, then bring it to the dealers to get the LCM flashed and that resolves it. Buy from a reputable dealer and avoid Ebay to be safe.

      Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ?

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By Duncan · Posted

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
