18" rims in Melbourne?

Where to buy 18" wheels in Melbourne oz

Looking for a set of black CSL type or oz ultraleggera - ill keep standard rims for semi slicks for track use. Tried MSW&T and Jax but both had either nasty rims I didn't like or super expensive $1,000+ per rim

Have you called Donnellans? As a result of doing all the work for metro dealers they know their BMW's.

Or Tyre Power on Burwood Rd in Hawthorn. Just drove past and there were two tricked up M3's in the driveway.

Thanks for the help

Tyre power north Melbourne were great, knew brands, models, widths, offsets etc off the top of their head.

Probably go with vmr v710 in 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 around $1,300 a set

They look spot on. And that is good money.

If you look carefully, that car looks like it's on winter 225 tyres all round so probably 8.5" ET45 all round on that particular set-up.

Saying that 9.5" ET50 will work on the rear with the correct tyres but it's a tight fit

I've also read that you need 3mm spacer up front or it will catch the strut using these wheels

I thought maybe they were 19" in the pic as well?

I think spacers are frowned up here in Aus unlike it seems in the UK

Those are 18's in previous link

Here are the pics on 19's with 8.5" front and 9.5" rear

I don't know for sure, but its pretty dam perfect!
Judging from the offsets available from VMR I would guess the following:

Front = 19x8.5 +35 or +45 with a 5mm spacer as the 45 apparently rubs on the strut without a spacer (I have seen 8.5J +35 and its tight but flush)

Rear = 19x9.5 +45 (I have seen the +50 and it wasnt that flush)
