Anyone have a pic / opinion of these 16" basketweaves? I guess they're baskets, but correct me if I'm wrong. A friend with an M6er has a set that apparently will fit. What do we think?

I think they are a great choice. off the E38. 16 is a good size

Those rims came on the 95 540s. Nice looking rim. I just sold a set a while back for $200.

Will a pic of them on a Touring do? These are the Style 5 wheels...mine came from my 97 e38 740iL. Yes, the wheels fit fine...but you can't use the tires from the 7 series (235/60/16). To run these wheels on an e34...you need to go down to a 225/55/16 or smaller (either 215 or 205) tire. The 235 width tire will rub the front suspension.


I run them mounted with my dedicated snow tires (Michelin Arctic Alpins: 225/55/60):
