    Where's a good place to buy rims?

    I am looking for something with a nice deep polished lip. Something wide as well. I have a set of 225/45/17 Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's that are ready to be mounted as well. I am just having the hardest time trying to find shops online that carry BMW specific rims. Any suggestions?

    No dish, but www.team-dynamics.com makes wheels with low enough offset to run wide rubber. Also, www.discounttiredirect.com carries a bunch of wheels, namely ATS. I think the ATS cup has been discontinued as well as the ATS DTM (my two favorite wheels by them), but the ATS venus looks like a stylized version of the old cup wheel.

        225/45/17 is oversize. Those will look goofy.

        You need to run a 40 or 35 series on a 17in wheel for a e30.

          I don't think they'll look goofy, but there will definitely be rubbing issues. They are about a full inch oversize.


          To clarify Jordan's post, the proper 17" size for e30s is 215/40-17. I personally would get some 235/40s if I was going with wider 17s and do some fender rolling and liner cutting.

              245/35/17 is the money size. ;) I would be getting those, if only the new Azenis didn't release in 215.

                  Something at least 8" wide, preferably. Not many 17x8" and wider 4x100 wheels around though.

                    May I mention that there is free shipping from Germany on this site. You just pay for the wheels and thats it.
