if you slowly put the wheels on and cross bolt and spin you dont get wobble, or at least I havent so far. there ain't anyone i can get spiggots from, do you know where I can get them ????
Got mine from US ebay. About $10.. You need to know the sizes from the BMW wheel (usually 72.6 or 74.1mm I think.. ?) down the Chevy one, usually 70.3mm

eg:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/KIT-4-HU ... 2031wt_860

I tried without much luck to find them in the UK, but that was over 18 months ago. I think i got a great exchange rate back then so just paid the shipping, pretty sure it wasn't $30 though..

i just got annoyed this morning at post office, bout some O2 extension wires, cost $30 and $13 shipping

Got £3 customs for VAT and then a £8 handling charge WTF, you mean to tell me I can get all the way across america and the sea to the UK for $13 and they charge me another £8 for me to pick it up from the PO!! I wouldnt mind if its the usual massive expensive stuff but it was a small box !!! :(

Ill check sizes on hubs when im home, see what the sizes are :D

Just paid £36 VAT + £8 'handling' to Parcel Farce yesterday for a small box of bits from the US worth about £120..

I did enquire once about not paying the handling and the option is go to the airport and put it through customs yourself..

I dont mind handeling of £8 or whatever on my headers that cost like £300, but on a box with 2 wires, £8 is LOADS. Still going to the airport prob not a good bet I would cost more than £8 to drive there hahah :lol:

there is always VAT to pay, just no duty under a set amount depending on item. IE gifts have NO duty hahah :lol:
It was the UK handling charge from the post office. Usually parcel force charge £11 but like I said I dont mind if its something expensive. Saying that I got an SLP lid for the camaro last year and paid nothing extra, was $99 + $50 shipping straight to my door???? I think UK just charge what they like :(

Car Details:No chevy at the mo :-(
I recently picked up a 99 Z28 and looking to switch rims from the sparkly chrome 16s :D

I was thinking of AC schnitzer type wheels which look a little like the Z06 wheels but with a nice dish

Maudy when you state that the M3 rims stick out a bit how much do they stick out and with the fronts; ar ethey flush with the body...

In fact I think there should be a 4th gen wheel thread somewhere, just for the hell of it..

Maudy do you have any closer/larger pix of your wheel set up? I promise not to copy you :-)
