Good to see my pictures has sparked some interest. The owner of the Lion Peugeot had a bit of humour as well 😅👍

This weight reduction process is a lot easier, cheaper and way more effective than centre drilling titanium bolts! Just make sure you don't start drilling speed holes on your body😉

Still mis my 325d LCI E91. One of BMWs best 3-series imo. Definitivly better than my current F31. The 325d was chipped using ess tuning stage 1 and had birds b3 springs and shocks which transformed the car.

So I stumbled upon a set of JA Pearce Magna Knock off rims from a 70s Aston Martin DBS. I bought them dirt cheap or at least I think I did as I only paid £40 for the four rims. Now the issue is the splined hubs are 52mm hubs to suit the Aston and don't fit my 68 TVR Vixen without either changing the bolt on hubs on the car or changing the adapter on the rims to 42mm splines. Being located in Norway makes shipping them,if I sell, extremely expensive. So do I just hang on to them or do you think someone would be willing to pay shipping if I sold them? Hi,I might be interested in the wheels - what size are they ? 15x6" or might even be 15x7"

Upload your file to xometry and choose the level of finsih and the website will give you a price. I use their plug-in for Fusion360. If you're not in a hurry it is quite resonable.
