17 inch wheel options

[markus]

im sure this has been beaten to death but lets see some of your fave 17 inch wheels besides the style 5s. I cant afford them right now so im looking at other options. I like the ASA AR1 but the more i see them on peoples cars I think they look kinda cheap. Id like throwing stars but theyre kinda pricey too.

bmw style 66, 17"... not very common, but personally I like (and it will look better with a drop ;) )

Definitely one of my favorite wheels on the E34. I was looking for an OEM set for a long time, but never had any luck. Did you paint the front bumper, or is that a p-shop?

No offense if it's yours, but... those are DEFINITELY the wrong wheels for that 3.0 :(

tell us a little bit more about that E9. i know they didnt come with shadowline and those wide fenders and rear wing are very batmobileish :)

i kinda like em. gives it a more modern agressive look.

I have no problem with agressive, but with a classic like that, you gotta stay period-correct. Some nice BBS would do the trick, no need to cheap out with aftermarket stuff that didn't even exist when those cars were running around. :dunno

If you can afford it, buy the classic Alpina wheels.
Timeless nice.

if anyone has pics of the style 19s preferibly on an oxford car id like to see. those wheels caught my attention.

im also thinking about style 14 17s but never seen them on a car just by themselves

I have to agree with Shogun on this.

Other favorites are E38 m-parallels but those are 18" so don't qualify on your original question.

Enjoy!
