About six months ago my dad told me he saw an old 7 series at the junkyard with some nice wide mesh wheels on them. Now my dad is very old-school and usually has pretty bad taste in wheels so i did not think much of them. But it was a 50% off day so i figured i'd go and check them out since i was going to be grabbing stuff anyway. So I go the next day and search the yard for engines, LSD, dashboards, and 5 speed parts with no luck and then i remembered the wheels. I search every black 7 and no cars had wheels on them. Then i see what looked to be a euro 745i so i go to check under the hood and tripped over something. I look down and its a set of wheels underneath the car. The 7 turned out to just have a 745i badge and no turbo goodies.
Here is what they looked like fresh from the junkyard. Two different sized tires and all. The finish was in extremely bad shape and two of the wheels were curbed so bad they had chunks missing. But for the price i could not pass them up and i needed something bigger then the 14" bottle caps the car came with in order to run my e32 735i brakes.
After one of the tires split and went flat i decided it was time for a refinish. I had them soda ash dipped, curb damage filled in and polished. Here is a pick fresh out of the cling wrap
After a bath to remove the polishing compound
