Taken straight off my invoice from Dec 2016.


FR1197005MK SIMMONS 19x7.0 5x108-120 ET0-52 CB73.1
MK(Full Satin Black)
M20mm 73.1 DBH 5X114.3 ET+20
1756019EP500 BRIDGESTONE 175/60R19 86Q EP500* BMW
Yeah that's strange. Mine shows FR119720MK Simmons 19-x7.0 5x114.3 ET20 CB73.1 MK (Full Satin Black) 5x114.3

But that part number doesn't seem to exist ...I think they've just put the wrong part number down on the invoice :shrug:

The code for the tyre itself is the exact same as yours.

EDIT: Spoke to Tempe Tyres again. Apparently they now have a batch of these rims using the above code that have been already cut to the necessary offset's etc instead of having to be manually machined while people wait. I have been assured that this will fit.

Hmm, US$225 leaves a lot of room to cover shipping when the whole thing is what $900 here?

EDIT: OK, Yeah Pony Parts and Levitown do work together, Levitown actually suggested I contact them for my US spec bonnet. I'll have to see what they have in mind as I haven't taken any steps to arranging a spare yet and I do typically get a screw in the tyre about every 2 months. Roads around work are covered in rubbish.

Pretty sure PP were talking about it costing $650 or so. We will know more as it develops though

Decided to be a cheapskate and go for an AU jack kit. Only $30. The foam base doesn't work with it but a lazy Saturday afternoon and managed to make it work. Managed to fit the stock kit too for a backup-backup :D

Got my jack kit, $60 including the foam holder etc. Cheering. I had my old man find one in Cooma while he was driving through it, not a bad score since the Sydney wreckers are onto us ;)

I forgot to post about that. Spoke to them about it roughly 2 weeks ago. At that time they were expecting the prototype in 6 weeks then first production run a couple of months after that.

Good to see someone picking this up finally.
They say matches OEM wheel rolling diameter, I imagine this has to be front wheel, if it matched the rolling diameter of the rear it makes the tyre too large in diameter to fit into the wheel well.

A little misleading, as I guess many people wouldn't be aware the front and rear tyres are a different diameter. I would be curious to know what they have to say about that if someone is contacting them about one of these.

Either way, good to see them giving it a shot and not charging a ludicrous price for the kit.
