    Graeme - Could you post a link to the correct wheel nuts on brandsport.com please?

    I'm not entirely sure which nuts have the 8mm shank extension.

    Shipping of the nuts? Look at the various options - last is best by heaps! 60 USD for 24 nuts and shipping.

    Yeah but at $37 it costs more to ship than to buy 25 nuts.

    Buying 50 only increases shipping to $47.

    Hi dj,
    That sounds like a good deal on the rims.

    Best Wishes,
    Peter

    I thought 60 USD was enough to invest for nuts that I'd throw away if I don't think the shank wall has enough strength. I almost bought the taller ones with the thicker shank but decided to give these a try first. I'll be real happy at less than $3 each if they do the job.

    That's a good price. I haven't seen that pattern before.

    Picked up the rims this evening. They don't look to bad. Fitted onto the hub nicely. The LR nuts didn't fit.

    The centre cap is a different size so I'll still need to find a way to get rid of the BMW Logo. Spray paint and a LR sticker is one option I've thought of.


    Sorry for the crappy photos... couldn't be bothered to the camera out so the iphone had to do.

    The tyres look a bit small for the D3!

    My 2nd set of rims came with an aftermarket wheel cap. Both sets came from the same tyre outlet and I had asked if they had something to hide the BMW name.
