    JCW 18"s can be thrown on an S without any fitment issues right? Local sale has a set of 4 with good tires for $200

    Yes. Given they are for the proper generation of car. The F56 generation have a 5 bolt pattern.

    Pictures when done, please. :biggrin5:

    They're for an 05 R52 with the 4 bolt. I have a R53 with a 4 bolt but these don't quite do what i want. I'd rather wait a bit longer for some wider tires, 7.5 or something.

    Plus they're not really the design i like. They're the 5 spoke design and not the 8

    I adjusted the exhaust so it would not rattle, repainted the hood scoop, and replaced the brake fluid with fresh Hi temp fluid. All I have left to do is repaint the chrome around the headlights and aim my driving lights. Then I will be ready for the Dragon!

    Take the old one, finish off in bright red because everybody knows red is faster, and then you have a option for when you want a different look in the future. :postcount

    I repainted the trim around the lights, aimed the driving lights put the hood scoop back on, and adjusted the driver side window. Car is ready for the Dragon. Well maybe put the CB back in.

    Got a new power steering pump and fan installed for free (recall),
    although I did pay a bit for the two chronically leaking feed and return lines.

    Ordered a new wheel. The last one tried to run away. Oval holes don't make for good connection.

    On a completely related note: Don't trust a harbor freight torque wrench. Especially when you work at a car dealership that has plenty of snap-on and matco tools at your disposal......
