Re: 16 inch Original Z3 alloys

100£ seems a good price but I wouldn't be surprise if you sell them for less as ther is not a big demand for these and every time that kind of wheels are coing on sale thay are going for a very cheap price!

It all depend on the tyres, if they are in good condition you will sell them quite easily.

Buy from the dealer. Even if they probably don't have it in stock you'll have it in a few days and for a good price.

And if it is like in Milton Keynes you might have the chance to seat in the new i8 and eventually drive it!

And I forgot to say. You can use the rear springs with your original shocks. I have some old shocks with this kit but they are not good to use any more.

Hi, here is the part number from euro car parts:705111531

I'm not sure I would say this is a bad buy as the quality seems good and with a few bits of metal you should be able to make a mount to avoid the exhaust touching the car.

And the price is ok too!
