The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

[JPMo]

I'm having the hardest time finding a set of decently used Style 135s. I've been looking for a good month or 2 to replace the passenger side front and rear wheels. What are the best options for finding something like that? Ebay? online salvage yards?

Have you checked with Wheel Collision Center in PA?

Thank you, I've never heard of them. Looks like they sell refurbished wheels? Do you have any experience with them? I was trying to avoid refurbished wheels because I didn't want to end up with something shoddy that would start peeling or looking terrible after a couple months.

To actual LEDs or to xenon?

I've used them twice. On one occasion they refinished my wheels; other time I bought their wheels & then sent mine back for core exchange. Great work / no problems. You probably have a shop down your way that offers a similar service. http://www.princewheelservices.com/ is who the E39 M5 guys trust to redo the factory hypersilver finish on their wheels.

You definitely don’t want to be putting those, or anything other than halogen bulbs, in halogen reflector housings. Also 6000k will be quite fatiguing on your eyes.

Don’t mean to be a Negative Nancy, but that’s a quick way to be called lots of unpleasant names by those with whom you share the road.

Not at all!! Thanks for the comments, I already have a projector retrofit headlight from Umnitza, but kept the halogen setup. Unfortunately, Im now hating my low beams specifically and Im looking for an upgrade, dont wanna go to HIDs.

Why wouldn't you want HIDs? In terms of visual light output they should be the same.
