It was 9 pts for "inconsiderate driving" but thats all history now. Another 7 months and they'll be gone.

Thanks Ed.
But i am confused.. 10mm = 1cm, how can it do double secure bolts, the bolt head already pretty thick. Maybe you meant 20mm?
Btw, whats your offset for the M6 rear BBS wheels?

I am looking at 18mm, it comes with longer bolts, from rogue engineering wit centric hub.

Adrian, I had 10mm spacers with my ACS type 4 on the 545 previously. They were the double secure type, meaning the spacers are bolted onto the hub and then a second set of bolts onto the spacers.

I am having 10mm spacers on the M6 with the BBS. Long bolts only.

So far no complaints but buy the ACS ones; you'll feel better.

Yes, maybe you're right. Why don't you speak with PML's Brandon? That option is definitely more secure than long bolts.

Also, let me check my cosumentation tonight to find out the offset

ya, the pleasure muz be fantastic.....i am sure most of us had experienced this sort of fun whether locally or foreign.
As for me, usually after going at 200+ overtaking and speeding, weaving in and out, my hands will be shivering and tensed. Do you guys have the same? or is it just me?

I am ok if i am on my Xbox360...hehe..
Once I was travelling on 2nd lane at 90km/hr along an expressway when one small car came up beside me on the overtaking lane. Can't really make out the brand and model of this car from the side view but the exhaust sounded very deep low and loud. He travelled at a constant speed of 90km/hr beside me until the roads in front of us are clear and he suddenly floored his accelerator. Of course I floored mine too. I overtook him and shortly, he is out of my mirror sight. I was already more than 180km/hr. My heart was still pounding twice as fast and it took quite some time to slow down to legal speeds too.

I had one encounter with this Saab Cabrio 95. His soft top was open with a chiobu inside.. i was with my 320i alone. Over at the red lights before the start of Bt timah road. I knew his is gg to show off that his Turbo is faster than mine. We pulled together and side by side, was a close fight. Till when i reached >120kmh, my turtle is starting to catching more breadth.... he was 5 cars lengths away from me when i reached 180kmh! Then when we reach the next traffic stop, we were on line again... i thumbs up to him.. but he face was too swollen and hair too messy to react to my gesture! He stopped playing with me after that.... hahahaha

THEN suddenly, i heard a tire spin and a Golf Gti cut me like i am standing still!! i am impressed....

I've seen a little black number that I identify to be a Honda Civic Hatch..... its exhaust is LOUD..... and its fast.... but maybe not as fast as a 530........

Tot Saab Cabrios are 9-3? And the fastest they got are the Aeros? So the morale of the story is EdLee Jr's GTi would eat all of us for supper?
