Genuine BMW 19” alloys with Bridgestone Blozzak winter tyres

For sale is a set of 4 genuine BMW 19 inch alloys that I had fitted to a BMW X5 E70. They come with Bridgestone Blizzak tyres in a square setup of 255/50/19. Wheels are in good condition. One of the alloy wheels has damage around the hole (see photo). This was due to a failed locking wheel nut which ...

Re: spacer advice

[quote="shadrack"] [quote="zchap68"] I was told a rub down of the hub face and a thin layer of copper grease should reduce the chance of the spacer welding to the hub. Interesting to hear what other experiences are who have used them. [/quote] if the spacer stciks to the hub it makes future wheel ...

Re: Loudspeaker system

I am contemplating an aftermarket upgrade but still stewing on the prices... I have the BMW Business version (i.e. 12 speaker system). The system sounds pretty good if the engine is switched off - but the moment you add engine and road noise, the bass can get a bit lost. My wife thinks I'm mad ...

Re: spacer advice

Hi, I also have been looking and researching into spacers for the past few weeks and likely to place an order this week. I have winter wheels that are 255/50/19 all round. Therefore the rears will definately look lost in the M-sport arches! Some say who cares? you're using the winter wheels for ...

Re: Winter Tyre Info and Discussion Thread ( Keep related chat here please)

Depends on the size of spacer on whether you need extended bolts or not. If you check out the H&R spacers for example, the DR range goes upto 20mm which uses extended wheelbolts. The ones over 25mm (DRA), bolt on to the hub directly and then the wheel bolts onto the spacer using your standard bolts ...

Re: Admiral Multi-Car - is there any financial benefit?

I have been with Admiral for just over 10 years and I have found them to be the cheapest to insure three vehicles compared to alot of other companies especially with the MultiCar discounts. However, some words of caution: 1) They charge an 'admin' fee almost everytime you make a change to your ...

Re: Winter Tyre Info and Discussion Thread ( Keep related chat here please)

Have a set of winter tyres 255/50/19s all round. Can't bear the thought of how they won't fill the arches particularly at the rear with flared m-sport arches. Has anyone had any experience with the H&R hub centric spacers? Seem to get mixed reviews with some saying no problem putting spacers and ...

I have now owned it for just over 1 month and we are very pleased with her! We previously had an Audi A4 3.0 TDI, but as it was a saloon, the ...
