IMHO They are perfect for the E34. I have them on mine.

Are they going to be long term, or just a stopgap until you get some real rims you like?

Dude is that lowered in the back or is the trunk filled with bodies?
That rear looks reaaaally low!

Also, those look like bigger bottlecaps than mine, but maybe it's just the low rear that is giving me that impression... anybody else see the same thing?

They're 16" bottlecaps from e38 7er & yeah, the wife loaded the trunk with stuff I wouldn't normally bother with for a day hike up the hill. This was also before the Eibach springs, when those craptacular bavauto springs were on the car.

They do look good on the E34... But thanks Martin for that pic of the 16" bottlecaps. Brother-in-law has a set sitting in his storage bin, been there for over a year, I think I'll pick them up next spring...
