All cars are classics, most make the full distance.
    Interesting, didn't know that. Sounds more interesting than the modern-day Mille Miglia is (was?). I think that may have been stopped due to a death a few years ago, but I can't guarantee that.
    Interested in vintage cars? Ever thought about racing one? Info, photos, videos, and more can be found at www.michaelsvintageracing.com!

      Mom's got Milles on the e36. they look a lot like a stock wheel though, nothing special.

              I'll try to later, or maybe tomorrow. I have to get them from my phone to the computer. I'll see if i can find out what kind they are too.

                      Pretty damn well I'd say. Mom bought these as a gift for my uncle who used to own the car, back in 98 or 99. the finish is good, and the only damage/wear is the emblems are de-laminating and getting wonky looking, as seen in the pic. Good wheels. these are the winter set though, summertime=minty oem's.

                        Everyone's saying these wheels never hold up and suck, while you're saying the complete opposite.. I'm going to believe you because I want to have hope for my wheels hahaha

                          Keep them! I think they'll look great after a good cleaning.

                              I don't see why they suck hahah!!! these wheels have been through a lot, and beside the plastic (and replaceable) center piece on the wheel, they are just about 99% perfect finish. The key is to always wax the wheels. wax makes everything better, always. prevents a lot of problems. besides curb rash, but i trust you're good about that :)
