    Name these rims

    This is exactly the look I want for the rims - straight, wide, flat 5 spoke. They look like 4x100 Hamann HM2s but as far as I know they don't make anything like that:

      There's probably a few other people you've never seen in Vancouver...

      My car's for driving not for looking. :) I might even paint some rust onto it after the S52 swap.

          I've got pics, just don't want to post them. If you don't know what to look at it looks like a low, stock eta. And I'm going to do my best to keep it so. But wheels matter to me a lot, it's my opinion that they make the car. Plus I can't fit any serious meat on or brakes in the stock rims. If you want to see it, come to the autox on the 4th, I should be there if it doesn't snow again. :)

          Here's my first Bimmer. The wheels transform it, with no body kits or any other mess:

              UBC. I've only been out to one, I finished my car in time for... the 2nd slush series was it? The one that got like a foot of snow... I should have just brought my 4Runner, would have kicked everyone's ass if it was timed.

              Actually, here's a pic of my fiance posing with it at the autox. After the S52 swap, the only thing other than the wheels that I want to do is clean up the bumpers (euro) and put on a nice valence like the iS one. Oh and rebadge it 316d or 318. I guess 318 is more believable and will get more elitists huffs from the locals.

                    The compomotives have much more curve to the spokes. That's what I like about these, the spokes are the exact shape I want. They don't taper much and they're flat with no queer curves.

                    Dunno man, wish I knew. I found it on google images, the parent page just had car pics. No name or contact info.

                              Thanks a lot man! Now to find out what the rims are. I've emailed him. He even had a thread selling the car but he doesn't mention the rims ANYWHERE. I'm going through like every post that he's made but so far no luck.
