Which wheels out of the 2 for me beemer??! *now with pics!*
As above ive had the first set ordered for over a month now and they still havent arrived and my current tyres are already past dead so getting to the point now where I'm looking elsewhere for a differnet set to buy.
This is the set i have provisionally ordered.... They are 8.5x19 on the front and 9.5x19 on the rear.... I love the dish on them
Now I've seen this set which I really like as well, plus they are £350 cheaper!!!! They are 8.5"x19" all round as well
The more I look at the second set the more I want them!!
What ya reckon? First or second set??!! My BM they are going on....

Team HOTHOT!
Sounds like they were a good buy then - the local GSF didn't have any in when I went down and couldn't get them in for a week, so I bought the standard ones - should of waited a week really as I still havn't fitted them
Need to get some new pads aswell - which ones did you get from gsf, the standard ones or the pagid fast road ones?

Ahhh fair play. I think I'll get a set of the standard pads too for the time being, mine really should of been replaced time ago

1st set looks well smart
2nd set mmmm don't know. They look good on the BMW in the pic but because your car is silver I don't know.
1st set deffo looks smart though and will suit your car.

Very difficult decision - I like them both for different reasons!!!!
But I am a deep dishy bloke at heart so would have to say the 1st set because people may think you're trying to hard to be an M5 with the 2nd set - not that thats a bad thing but you know what I mean!!!

fookin hell made me even more undecided! Swaying more to the 2nd set as ive spoken to the company this evening and he's not 100% they will be here this week and i need some rubber!! Apparantly the deep dish ones dont have a corrosion warranty either due to them being polished - seemed a bit weird him saying that to me so wondering if they are prone to corroding?
