What the UPS man bringeth
When I went to balance my 212s with summer tires for Portugal, one of them was not as straight as I would like and I have decided not to use it. So I came across a posting for some X6 rears which are bit nicer looking than the X5 version, they are concave and IS18. (I believe these have a hub bore of 72.6mm as compared to E70 which is 74.1.) They showed up in less then 48hrs and here is a picture.
So, of the four original 212s, 2 are perfect and will be fronts. One is decommissioned and the last one will be the spare. (I plan not to use RFTs). I will post another pic once I get tires and mount them on the car.
