    Those wheels are ugly, and are some super low offset which would stick out past the fenders alot. 18x10's arent fitting in the back...
    Perhaps it was a bad example, but the slightly less bright wheels with a similar style would look better I thought. And I meant replicas with a smaller width, of course ;) 18x10's - yikes.

              I must be alone in thinking the lightweights look better. At least on an E30.
              Im now E30less.

                Your car has never looked better. Still could use some contrast imo, but it's obviously not my car.

                    The '645' might be the tyre diameter in millimetres. Seems about right given they look a bit bigger than a normal e30 tyre at around 600-610mm.

                    But yeah, I love them, even though I prefer rims with some dish.

                        I'd like to see wheels that give your car some contrast, too much silver.

                              With a 245/35R18 the speedo will be reading 2.1% too slow. IE 60MPH indicated would actually be 61.2MPH. Not even a big deal.
                              It would probably be closer to actual speed, given BMW's notoriously high readings.

                              Wheels look great. I'd like to see a profile shot though.
