      Finally, a BBS-style wheel on your car. It's been asking for it for years. The rest of the car is so plain and lacking contrast (silver blob, since the riddance of the CF), you need a slightly complex wheel design to balance it out.

      Personally I think a set of RC's would look perfect, but the CSL reps are cheap and still look badass.

        Chris lit a bug under my ass.

        If these wheels fit in 18x8.5 ET40 they WILL be the next on my car. Whoop ass :)

            I'd like to change my vote.

            CSL's all the fucking way. Finally you can get some meat under that thing.

              CSLs for sure... are you using stock m3 brakes, or going for an 850 caliper, or what? Seems like you're looking at some pretty huge offset numbers.

                E36M3/MZ3 suspension/brakes = their offset. Ideal range is 40-48 for a 8.5.

                If you pay for the 850CSi Calipers I will run then.I just saw a set for $1300 used

                  So if I understand that correctly, if u do the 5 lug conversion with Z3 (or E36 parts) u end up with the same off set as an E36 would run ?

                  Which to me would be ideal, then non of this rubbish of needing spacers, and also there is such a great selection of 5 hole wheels

                    Using E30 M3 parts and keeping the low offset is preferable to me. Wheels with a lip look sexier, even the OEM wheels (M-Parallels, E39 Style 5's (my wheels basically), etc) look badass.

                      Ebay wheels....

                      something you frown upon heavily and mock others for??? And now you want to put them on your car?

                      HA! I laugh at the irony. 8)


                      CSL = ugly in 18" on your car
                      Next you'll be getting "COPKILR" as a L. Plate...... ;)



                      Double spokes.


                      Oh, and 850CSi calipers are muuuuuuuuuuuuch cheaper, you just gotta know where to look. :D

                          Not if you man up and run oversized tires. 8)
