    Thoughts on the Chrome M5 wheels...

    Good? Bad? eh?

    I personally love the look, hate how much they probably weigh.

    Those are M5 reps - but they look kinda cool - first set i've seen on an E30.

    I'm normally a "say no to chrome" person - but those just manage to pull it off.

        I wonder if I could fit a set on a 5X120 e30 M conversion - non chrome (factory silver), and I think they are 18's.

                Those look like 17's. I have found a few places to get the replicas like these pictured but i dotn know what ones are the best quality. I love these wheels, in silver, and they are on the list of mabys for my 5 lug. I really wish i could just run the factory 18's but probably not. Jordans 18's worked imo but i dont know if i want that much bling.

                    I would roll in that wip. It pulls those wheels off nicely and I am one that loves the chrome.

                      Too much bling, but the car does look nice. I have seen those same wheels on a perfect 3.0CS resto.

                        X2. Even polished would be easier on the eyes.

                            chrome with black looks good! if you'd black out the headlights and tint it it would be even more balla.... on the other note, like some ppl mentioned, polished would be better

                              Looks nice for sure, but best left on other peoples' cars. I have a set of chromed 17 CEC split 5 spokes, and the only thing I'm going to use them for is to leave on the car for a full respray, then I'm giving them away. Or recycle them if nobody wants them.

                              It's not how you handle the good times, but the faith you keep in the bad that defines you.
