RS's with polished lips. Although the M parrell's do look really good on 5ers

[polishpat]

Ahh.... well there are about a 10000000 choices but just to throw some out...


I am in portland right now so I have been looking around...

These are the old school BBS style 5s in 15" 3 piece... Bot sure if they will clear the brakes on the 5 series but here is the link...

- Mirko..


I forgot I was on pat's computer and blacky's house.... lol

[mittens]

That car needs 17s at least. 16s wouldn't look bad, but I wouldn't go any smaller than that.

[turbo2cam]

a co-worker of mine has those bottom wheels on his 5 series, and they look REALLY good.

[spastik]

thanks for the input guys. i do like the bottom ones. i cant remember which one was what price, either.

seanh's dad just came into my office and i asked him and he told me to tell him to get the e39 sport package wheels.

Out of the original two you posted pics of, I like the bottom one, the split 5 spoke.

What about the e46 M3 19" wheels? I think those would look BA!

[InSepsis]

The ones you posted bryan (BMW BBS Style 5 Baskedweaves 3 piece) is what I want for my E36, It's a crazy ofset for E36 but I can make them work so sick and I can be like seanDub...

And some more... The wheels look perfect on just about any BMW that was made before 2005.. Simple as that... They do run about $1500 for a set of those in a good condition... :(

yea, thats what im reading.

and why the fuck did you spell my name with a y. you should know better faggot

[DubstepDave]

Those are BBS RS's, and look sick on just about any car ever produced. If these are RS's, your dad should definitely pick these up, and order some wider lips for them:

http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/pts/1085235308.html

Or even better is the 17" version that Mirko posted from the 5-series sport package.

[InSepsis]

I a in portland now and I kinda want to pick up those 15's that david posted and get wider lips if possible...

Those would look sick painted some crazy color and rocked on my E36

Actually, after a second look, these aren't RS's, these appear to be something else. The face is too curved to be RS's.

And yes, Mirko, those wheels, widened to 8.5" in the front and 9.5" in the rear with 205's front and 215's rear would be BALLIN'. You car would also be VERY low on them.

[omg its drunk scott.]

style 5's arent that crazy at all for an e36...

anyways, i wouldnt go less then 17's. those M-Parallel wheels look good, and cheap(er) replicas of them can be had brian.

i like style 19's too

these don't look too bad either...

[omg its drunk scott.]
