eBay novice looking for advice from the wise heads on here. Seen a few scare stories so thought I'd seek advice from those better informed.

Seem ok? I have the tyres, just want the rims. Cheers all.

 

Buy cheap wheels and you take your life into your own hands especially on Irish roads plus BMW wheels on a Supra why would you want to get the same wheels as every second car on Irish roads???

 

BMW Wheels look good on BMW's , why would you want your Supra to look like a BMW?? Crazy just buy a BMW

Guys, he hasn't said anything about putting them on a supra? :blink: This thread is in 'Non-Supra Technical' unless a mod's moved it before i read it!.... By the looks of his sig, he also owns an 04 BMW 320cd so i'm guessing they're for that.

 

I say go for it, they seem to have a good feedback rating. Pay through Paypal & you should be able to claim your money back should anything go wrong ;)

I apologise for assuming you where putting them on a supra but just be careful the wheels look fantastic but the price seems too good to be true, remember its your life for the sake of cheap wheels is it worth that, I would definetly go with OEM wheels because BMW do extensive crash testing and durability testing so they are compilant to strict safety standards, this is one of the most crucial parts of your car so spend money on them

I did early last year!

 

Sorry for the confusion lads, thought non-supra and the sig would be sufficient... forgot it was Friday! :stickpoke I do indeed have an 04 BM 320cD as my everyday "beater", the wheels are for that. Was more looking for advice on using eBay, if anyone saw anything suss.

 

Re wheel quality: surely wheels have to pass a quality/safety standard. I'm in Dublin, mainly motorway miles (or stopped in traffic on the motorway more commonly) so roads are generally quite good.

 

Just noticed same guy has M6 replica wheels too.... :think:
