Picked up new wheels yesterday

[MG325i]

it looks okay. spacers would make them look better, and a taller tire size would help too. other than that, like i said.. looks okay =]

in the picture your high's look orange?

No, it just looks damn stupid. Not to mention the PAINT on the fogs and high beams.

When, when, WHEN are people going to get that cars look absolutely RETARDED with big aftermarket wheels on stock ride height?

I would have 1000 x the respect for it if it were slammed on stock wheels. I saw a kid in an Integra the other day, dropped to the absolute perfect height, still on the stock steelies with stock plastic hubcaps, and it looked great.

You should have spent your money on fixing your fucked up hood, getting a real front lip, and lowering the car before you ruined it with all of your "mods".

Dont get me wrong Mr. A, i know that suspension should have been done first, but heres what you might not know. My car has come a long way since i bought it. My hood was way worse, bumper, fender, lights were all shit, my bottlecaps were really fucked up and needed new tires bad, thats why i bought those rims, they are only temporary until i get better. I like my "mods", you have your way to mod your car and i have mine, your car is sick, i respect it, and if i had the money to buy top of the line shit for my car i would, but i dont so i have to work with what i have now and slowly make it better. Understand every word you say, and i appreciate it

I think the tires are undersized.

Mr. A is right, suspension before wheels. Though I didn't follow that method on my current e30 because I had the wheels long before the car.

i havent gotten spacers but i will, my e30 is not even close to being finished yet im just getting started drop is next on the list then 5spd swap

[der affe]

i was thinking about getting some spacers for mine as well. yet someone told me that they're dangerous? as in, he HEARD someone had them on his e30 and while driving one wheel busted off the bolts cause the spacers?

ive never heard anything like that before so idk if hes bs'n me or what.

quality spacers are fine! make sure they are hub-centric if they are of any substantial thickness though. if you don't get a good bite with the stock lug nuts you might want to go to studs though!

the problem is that your friend HEARD this, many an Internet/fourm myth has been perpetuated this way

[E30Pedia]

You need 225/35s on that. I dont think spacers is nessecery. Maybe a drop wouldnt hurt. Nice car though.

Needs spaces, bad.

update

I finally put the wheels on, painted my highs and fogs, window tint.
i decided not to paint the wheels black, i think that my car was starting to look like most of the alpines in r3v
hate it or love it


i know it looks like a damm donk, suspension is coming soon

[jp_slick]

i really dont know anything about this wheels the guy that sold them to me couldnt tell me anything but the bolt pattern, as far as rubbing well they are are 17x8 and the rim sits about a 1/4 inch from the shock tower, or whatever its called, i am assuming that once i put tires on them i will need spacers for the front

thanx td325ic for the chops, i like black wheels on my car, hell i like my bottlecaps, but i want to try something different i will run them gold for a while and if i dont like it i will paint them balck
i appreciate the comments tho
