Shagati: Nothing ke?? Well it's worth a try. Easiest and quickest way to do that would be using plastic or vinyl wraps. 2 Likes |

obekediamondfuto:Painting is a long process: Strip fittings and old paint, fix dents, source missing/damaged parts and trim, apply primer, mix/source paint, spray/oven bake etc..... No; painting is not the easiest way. |

oblo: Bros, long time. Plastidip or Vinyl wrap is also a long thing. Specialised skills required to implement too. Prepare/Strip/mask surface to be wrapped/dipped Wrap/Cut/trim/heat gun/finishing etc etc No; not wrapping or dipping |

Inception: oblo: obekediamondfuto: Wheels it IS! Give any guy (touch wood) a set of wheels, wheel spanner and jack (don't dare forget boulders with which to 'shock' the vehicle or you will end up going to collect your car from inside the canal where it has rolled into ) and he will install/swap out your set of wheels. No specialist experience required (touch wood again!) Inception, contact me for your N1k recharge card. 3 Likes |

Shagati: Now for tyre size. The set of tyres that came with the wheels are too big (tall/high) for the E38. Rubbing will occur amongst many other issues so a new set will have to be gotten. Now what size to match OEM (235/60 R16) as closely as possible? Boom! See below from https://tiresize.com/calculator/ Remember the wheels are staggered? 9.5" front and 10.5" rear......or something like that
