    Wheel Suggestions

    I have a Lachssilber 325ic and I'm trying to go with a silver/black scheme. I would like to get some gunmetal/machined lip wheels, but I don't know of any besides the obvious expensive SSR Comps. Any other suggestions you might have about some inexpensive, nice, gunmetal/polished lip wheels? Nothing ricey.

    Why not get some silver wheels and paint the centers like Chris (nando) did? They turned out awesome. You could pretty much get any wheel you wanted then.

      I wouldn't mind doing that... If I could somehow find some 17" 4 lug BBS wheels that would look nice like that. Post pictures of your gunmetal/polished lip wheels.

          Yeah, He did an excellent job on those wheels, but I need something bigger, 17's. RX? RC? Something in a 4x100 lug pattern though. But I don't want to buy really nice silver wheels, and accidentally f*ck them up if I paint them. Just looking for more suggestions. Thanks.

                  your car is @ stock ride height.

                  Stock ride height + bling wheels = ghey.

                      Suspension was ordered last week and should be here Tuesday. I'm just looking for a wheel in advance.

                          Go with the 17" BBS RX's in gunmetal. They have 'em at www.tirerack.com. I would like to see these on an E30 anyways because I am thinking about getting these when I get my car, but I think they will look great.
