Thats just the angle of the lens. These are 17's and actually fit better than the stockers.
Aside from that, not all of us want to slam are rides with sport springs, lose all ride quality, and go drifting. :P

Hmmmm....they should be 16in. Also, they wheel can fit w/o hubcentric rings, but just wait until you drive on the highway. You may very well get a shimmy.

Nice change from the bottlecaps. Good price too.

If the wheels came from an e39, I am very surprised that you didn't require hubcentric rings. You may wish to pay close attention when you get up at speeds around 50mph and beyond. The e39 wheels will fit the e34 hub and the fit adjustment from e39 to e34 is so minute and so subtle that you may not realize that you need them until you get up around 50mph and beyond...

I will defend my bessy lou's weel gaps till the day I die! As for the hubcentric rings, they fit over the circular howsing that holds the barrings correct? If so, it was a tight fit between the hub circle, and the wheel.

Any rack that jiggles more than my new wheels at 70mph is fine with me. I need Hub Centric Rings. Took a lil freeway trip tonight... came home and bought 74.1-72.56mm rings. Thanks for the good advice guys.

If ya waited a couple days, those wheels might have been $136. :)

What? No grill smack to go with the paint smack?

I'd say it's a good deal on a set of OEM's and tires, but...ah dunno. If you like 'em, then more power to you.

DEFINITELY find out if you need those hubcentrics, though. My e39 wheels would seemingly fit like the originals as well without the rings.

Truly, lowering the car gives it a rougher ride...but I think it handles a lot better.

Are you sure those wheels are 17's?! look like 16's to me...Esp with the profile of the tire.

best, whit

I may not have the precision measurement of a german engineer, but I think I can tell the difference between 16" and 17" on a tape measure.

Hay comon 530iTouring we're in the same boat; we have the best color avalible on a bimmer. I may not be able to haul around 5 tottlers, but at least I have a trunk :P
