    Update: BBS RS189 15x7.5 and 15x8.5 on my '88 325is

    Always wanted a set of RS and always wanted gold. Wasnt sure how these would look but so far im really liking it. More pics to follow, but was pretty stoked to finally get these on so snapped a few iPhone pics.

    Thanks to Mystikal and formula driver for their suggestions/tips on tire fitment and wheel specs ::up:

    Specs:
    BBS RS189
    -15x7.5 ET19 - Running 15mm spacer up front
    -15x8.5 ET6
    -Minor fender rolling in the rear as well as the front.
    -Falken 512's in 205/50-15. May attempt to squeeze some 225's on the rear next time around.


    Couple pics, hope to get better ones this weekend!

      Looks amazing. This is the only time i have liked when the lips of the RS are not polished.

      IMO though, i think it would look better with a thinner spacer in the front.

                  Dude I am AMAZED how awesome this looks! Oddly enough the high beams and your license plate help to pull off the look!

                    Thanks! and Yeah i am wondering if a 10mm spacer would be better. If i can find a set cheap i may try them too.

                      Yeah thats why i grabbed them. It was different enough to push me over the edge and get them. I always liked the gold center/polished lip but i saw these and thought theyd work well on the blue
