opinions on wheels

[angrypancake]

on a RED e34. it's about time to start saving for some wheels, and these are options so far. i would be much obliged to anyone that could photoshop these on for me. feel free to throw in some of your own ideas.

2 or 3. 4 is unoriginal, relatively speaking. 1 is a little too G for me.

Although i like choice 1 quite well i have to vote for the m-pars just because they are m-pars, even though they are chrome. Come to think of it, chrome m-pars would look great on a red car.

hey pancake number 1 looks great .i have the number 5 on mine with bbs center caps ,they look awesome with painted calipers gl

[Gayle]

Switch my vote to number 5.

[Incantation]

it depends on what else you've done to the car.. i think the last two are the best.. the 2nd can look alright.. but not on a fully stock car. that wheel actually looks best on the e36

I love option #2 and I like option #1 because they are unique and you don't see many of them on cars like ours. Option #4 is a given but I'd rather have #2.

Just my 2 cents.

I really like the simlicity of number 4. My alltime favorite is the Rondell #58. I had that in a 16" on my Zinnoberot E28 which was blacked out, and I could not stop looking at my car. sweet.

Eh where are you getting the first and third ones in our offset? I always loved the SSR look... and the first one is just HOT! Not sure if it would be good on our cars, but ...

[Jay 535i]

They all look pretty good to me! I don't think you could go wrong with any of them. #1 is particularly interesting.

Post a photo of your car in profile to make Photoshopping easier.

yes it's halfway shadowlined.... i was just leaving it to see how i liked it.

[Jay 535i]

Here are two photoshopped pics.

The other wheels are hard to do with the photos you supplied (i.e. oblique angle and no tires fitted).

mmmmmm jay you're the man.

imo, m-pars are out, and #1 might be a little too much on the bling side. ssr gt-3.... just gotta find em in the right offset. the ones i posted a pic of were the real deal, not shitty rep's, 19x8.5 and x9.5 for 1450 shipped. 3 series fitment though, grrrrr.... 20mm spacers anyone?

[Jay 535i]

I help when I can :)

You gotta squint a bit, though. Naturally, they won't look exactly like this. I've done by best to get the size, ride height and color right, but YMMV.

After seeing those pics myself, I'm firmly in the choice #3 camp.

[SC David]

Whatever you do, go 18's. Don't you think 19's are just too big for the E34?

[Jon K]

SSR stands for So-Soft-Rim. They aren't the strongest.

I personally don't like rivets except on BBS style rims, so the SSR GT3s are out of the picture for me as are the other ones.

I think you should go with a BBS RS...
