Brandon's (Beez540) 540

[Beez540]

Needed to get away, take a quick drive... luckily I thought to take the camera. I was up in the greensprings area of Hwy 66 in Southern Oregon, in the distance is the Siskiyou Mountains.

So I submit these pictures for your viewing pleasure, I hope you like them.

After all the little mechanical fixes, a chip, some custom exhaust work, paint work, tinting, and finally settling on some wheels... I'm very happy with my baby.

Now I think she needs a name... and I'll be working on a sig pic.

Beautiful. Those wheels look better on the e34 than on the e39. :)

Thanks!

There's some great terrain out here, made all the more appealing with an E34 in the picture.;)


Yes, I think those wheels do look better on E34's, but regardless they really only work on a dark car I think.

Late to the party - what kind of wheels are those, and what are the tires that fit on 'em? Think I need to add to my wish list!!!

E39 wheels, style 33 I think.

16x7. I have em wrapped in 225/55/16s
:)

I love the wheels too, the 16s fit the proportions of the car perfectly. My girl's name is Heidi by the way, because she's German, so that one's already taken :)

Look an awful lot like these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-E39-wheels-528i-540i-16x7-5_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ43956QQitemZ801901953 0QQrdZ1
Might be useful to have a spare? Since he's only selling 2 (and one is a little bent) I bet they go cheap. :D

yup, same wheels (they're not 16x7.5 either).

I actually got my set (all 4) on ebay (minus the center caps) for the starting bid of $99, shipping cost $125 though. Still a pretty good deal. There seems to be a lot of those wheels for sale, but I don't see too many people sportin' em. Like I said, they look really good on a dark car. Same wheels the black E39 in "Gone in 60 seconds" that Delroy Lindo drove was running.

time to watch "The Sound of Music" so I can come up with some names. Maybe I'll call it Captain Vonn Trapp. Wait, they were Austrian... damn.

[ProZak]

Wow, that is a sweet deal. And even on my white car, I think I'd like 'em. Course, I won't be in the market until the tires I have now wear out. Maybe next summer with a little "spirited" driving. :D

Right on... just don't forget the hubcentric rings, and make sure you get good ones!


Hey everybody... can't I get a little voting love for the pics of an E34 in a bit of an Alpine environment?

I'll get up in the snow and have someone take a picture of me doin' a donut if I have to!

I don't want the E.A.T. chip (already got it)... I just need some love.
:D

Nice pics! To be honest, I usually don't like those wheels...but lately I've seen a few E24's and E28's that look good with them. Gotta add your E34 to that list.
