The best way is to have them rolled...NOT cut.............like dub_weiser said about 30-40 quid to have them rolled,..... but from what ive been told there is a good chance they will crack and in a couple of cases the arch can become distorted &| so i'd say if you want them done once and right.... find a good body shop!.....ive been quoted from a very good body shop in my area £150 per side.........that includes having them rolled pulled seam sealed and painted

Oil pump failure possible.................bottom line is you need to get it to a garage and run some diagnostic's on it....ive had an oil pump go before but I also got the oil warning light and a buzzer coming on so I just pulled over.............Id say don?t drive just get it transported to the garage u normally use or you risk FUC**** the engine up completely &|

IMO....the car will probably handle like sh** on such a big wheel and like minty said you will need arch work done...as i remember from e38, your vr was very low so i'd say a big NO.......go 17" but even then you can have problems if running anything other than a 205

quiet right...........it used to be the oldest trick in the book...............A member of my family works for HMS Customs.............they now look out for "gift" marked packages.................if found........... at best you will have to pay duty and vat..........at worst you will loose the item altogether...................companies don't like to send "Gift" items as they can also be fined!
