    Here is the style cap I want to make eventually. I think something like that would finish the look and still have a "clean" look.

      Those are definitely acceptable. Those black centers make the wheels.

          I have them on the e30 now. It took a week to get tires on because our service department at the dealership was slammed. Will post pics if I get out of class early today. I'm still trying to get used to them. Going from a low offset wheel with a lip to a somewhat 2d wheel is weird at first. They definitely look great from a side profile but at an angle they seem to be missing some depth or something. I'm going to give them some time to grow on me...

              I need to go about a 1/2" lower on the rear end. *Looking at the car from an angle the rear wheels don't look quite right with the gap. *Once finals are over, I'm going to try and motivate myself to make some bmw center caps.

                    Did you end up having to use the 10mm spacers? Im looking at getting some 35 offset wheels too.
