I'm picking up my 'new' 318ti Compact at the weekend (1999 V). As it had a few nice extras such as full leather interior etc. I didn't mind that it didn't have alloys. I've saved a few pennies back for some.
Can anyone recommend a good stockist of BMW wheels? Stupid question but can BMW centre badges be fitted to most alloys or just BMW wheels?
Thanks in advance.

I always use www.elitedirect.com 01708 553521 good selection good prices and they always fit!

www.performancealloys.com does replica alloy wheels for your car (and Audis and Mercedes).
www.eurocarparts.com does replica wheels as well, or did, and they have local offices throughout the country.
Not sure about centre caps but they'll look wrong on anything other than genuine or replica BMW ones.

Thanks to you both. Point taken about the centre caps, you're probably right.
PerformanceAlloys have a good selection!

If you're fitting fancy wheels to your motor,only fit genuine manufacturer's ones;if there are adaptors,spacers or other bits of alloy or plastic involved avoid!!

Thanks DVD, I'm down in Essex so it may not be practical to follow this up but many thanks for the info. In fact, it gives me the idea to check the press, E & Mart etc. for some second hand ones.
jc - Will take care. I'm not taking any chances with my new baby! (that's the car, not any offspring).
