      No more car mods.
      Just driver mods i.e. auto-xing and HPDEs

        I can't get down with that look... Style 32's are one of my favorite rims but they just don't 'fit' your car, they are way to big, especially how the tire sticks out of the front fender. Plus those things must make your M42 cry.

            I hear ya on the "looks outta place with 17s." Bear in mind it was time for a change for me since I had many 14s, then a few 15s.

            Each angle makes the wheels look different and the styling of the car is one that will never appeal to all.

            I am still studying the effect of wheel weights and tire contact patches along with ride height. This is my personal observation for my own use but all I can say is there is a difference between application of theory vs reality in terms of wheel weights. I didn't get to auto-x the car on style 32s but I will try at least one auto-x on the 17s next season.

              Preferred the Style 32s personally.

              But, I agree with whoever mentioned it before, run the small width Style 5s all around instead of staggered.

                Airik, what makes you want to run 9" wide rims if you are only running 215's anyways? Or is it just out of convience?

                    These are the car's secondary wheels. I have 15" wheels that will be it's primary wheels. I just need to get some rubber put on them.

                    I never went out looking for wheels to put on the car, they were just for sale locally and i picked them up only to find out they were the euro staggered style 5s by accident. I will be getting another DD soon and I am hoping to get an e34 hence the dual benefit of the rims

                    Mike K......e304lyfe is just a lazy SOB...drag him out and get him to have some fun dodging cones

                    It's a toss between these and the style 32s but the 32s need some help in the aesthetics dept and I currently have them for sale. These seemed to be lighter than the style 32s as well.

                      That's some serious meat you have on those wheels.

                            Meh, replicas.

                            I liked the 32s still, but find some 5er RZ's. I had a lot of love for them on your last car.

                              They might be replicas, but they're beautiful. I would love to see RZ's too...

                              Shit, I'll do a ton of Photoshop work if need be.

                                Hah, no more fancy wheels ;)
                                I sent you the high res pic

                                Now if those were the m5 OEM wheels with the removable covers for a good
                                deal, I'd prob get em for an e34 later on down the road.I prefer the style 5s over RZs personally as well.
