It's a widearse 2.8i. Already on coilovers, and we did a bit of a trial fit on some Image 3pc. splits today.

They are 8.5j all round, but I think he's going for bigger dishes at the rear.

That's my thinking. He got them for over half the price they should have been, too.

Looks a gooden, keep updated :)

A mate of mine has one of these, his is on m3 wheels, look much better with those splits on!

Cool fitment, will be a great stance. Image are pretty s**t though, went through so many rims. They are also heavy as fcuk and the gold colour they do is pretty dull.

Oh it was you! I did wonder, when he said some girl with a Z4 on DW wanted to try them on at awesome fest. Was a good price!

Really? Me and him couldn't get over how light they were! Then again I'm used to Steelies and standard alloys.

What is wrong with image? I love their s**t!
Image. :dapprove:
Again! What is up with image? I haven't heard much bad about them. Except for some people ordering them new and having defects, these seem spot on. Or is it because they aren't ROTA's? I hear you love them.

Have you never seen all the threads about them Jase? Worst customer service ever plus, lots of "brand new" wheels are just refurbs.

Also,

Thats a brand new wheel split down..just a tad worrying. When the guy called them he was told where to go..

Guess it's a good job they're second hand, but new, and ridiculously cheap.

I lol at the wheel snobery on this forum lately.I can understand for the right reasons someone paying 8k for a set of wheels and tyres but 99% of britain buy a set of wheels for how they look...And for the time they have those wheels im sure the alloys are fine...

You've misread into this. Image wheels are nice, genuine split rims. Most are copies but theyre still splits and not what i'd call "cheap". Its the suspect build quality. Look at the cheeseholed dish! haha! Thats not the safest.

You're missing the point. As usual.

LOL at the banter here.

He can de-cat it, he's given himself the option to anyway ;). The car is currently at Awesomefest with the rest of the lowlife guys. :( Wish I had the dolla and time off work to go!
