    New wheels on the e36...

    Before and after.....

    The wheels are mille miglia 17/8 et20. I think I need to roll the fenders. they rub - but never when turning - just over huge bumps.

    either way, I don't think this will be one of those "I liked it better before" threads.

            No.

            It would look a lot better if you keep the new wheels and painted or at least refinished the skirts and the bumpers.

              True. I haven't had it for long - give it time. Anyone see the 3rd BMW in the shot?

                  I just got it to my house last night. Excited to get moving on it.

                      I say spend a couple bucks and get some color matched spray paint and paint the lowers. The milky grey makes these cars look so ghetto.

                      I wouldn't bother rolling the fenders to fit wheels that never really will, that offset is for e30 M3's and e34/e39 cars. I bet if you looked around you could trade them straight across for some OEM M3 17's which would fit and look much better.

                        These things BARELY rub on crazy bumps. If I can figure out where i could get it fixed. At full lock they dont even rub.

                          I love it,

                          Just need to go 1-1.5 inches lower, and either color match the skirts, or make sure they conditoned. That back to black stuff works wonders, even if the trim isn't black.
