Hi, I am looking at eventually fitting 172 "spider" alloys to the touring as I have gone through two rear tyres already due to punctures! Still have a slow puncture so I am assuming I have a cracked rim. Now I am going to go for Non-OEM wheels from a reputable alloy supplier near me and move to non-run flat tyres. Now my question, will the pressure monitors work? If not as I assume do you need to disable them?

Not been on the site since I got it as I have no mods so far, just been enjoying the endless torque!! but it's getting remapped in the not too distant future.

Appreciate any info!

Think this answers my own question

The sensors are not in the wheels as it's a late 2006 so no need to worry!!

Make sure the wheels are hub centric or come with the correct spigot rings. A good wheel supplier will know about this.

Right the supplier is stating that they will ensure the spigot rings are fitted but argue that the offset is right for the E61 as they have fitted them before. Can this be true or should i just fit the spacers myself?



Also can anyone easily tell me what are the correct bulbs to upgrade the yellow halos to bright white (posted in mods as well).

Seen these, are they correct? E61 with light pack (Zenons)http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260662985500&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
