Hmmmmm... I have a set of 17" MMII-2's with maybe 35-55% tread left on the Yokohamas wrapping them that I might be willing to get rid of. I don't really need them but it's nice to have a backup. If you need wheels quick, and can't find others, let me know. Feel free to PM me an offer too. | | | | | 03-21-2009, 05:13 AM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: norcal - 94590 Posts: 3,186 |
They are for sale on the local bimmer forum and I am waiting to hear from the guy. He had them mounted on an e36, so when I talk to him, I will see if he ran any adapters/spacers etc. to prevent the shimmies...
The style 5's I just bought don't feel weird at all, and the bore is off by about 1-1.5 mm's...
I'll keep you posted... __________________ James 95 active w/leather interior and sport interior conversion, Vaders, full M-Tech exterior conversion.

Right 5 spoke, and yeah I know. I have a set of Blizzaks that I took off last weekend and swapped for my other set of Mille Miglias. I love MM wheels... so light and I love the 5 spoke design. | | | | | 04-01-2009, 07:51 AM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: central ct Posts: 503 |

those wheels don't look that great, my personal opinion anyway, i will post pictures shortly of my spares and see if you want to make me an offer, they are the m3 wheels, 7.5x17 front and 8.5x17 rear, tires are bridgestones summer tires i believe, 70% left front 30% left rear. I also have a set of the factory 16's with 90% left on tires all around, all season tires, 7x16 all the way around, for much less if interested, i dont know what you have now. I believe these to be original bmw too. | | | | | 04-02-2009, 11:32 PM | #13 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2007 Location: Rocky Hill, CT Posts: 1,065 |
