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

Thanks!Originally Posted by Torque
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!!!

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-E...19019530QQrdZ1Originally Posted by Beez540
Might be useful to have a spare? Since he's only selling 2 (and one is a little bent) I bet they go cheap.

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.

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.
