    Another wheel thread...

    I finally got a yellow light on new wheels for the Zhp. Please post up comments if you care.

    I am going with a darker look, not murdered out. Smoke lights on Mystic with gunmetal wheels. These are my three options so far but I really like the 996 the best. I know it is not "bimmer" but please tell me if you think it is too "rice".

    Tires will be 235/265 on all wheels and I think I want 19s. The 18s just seem to look a tad too small for the car but I would like to keep the tire sidewall of the 18

    Love!!!!


    LIKE but worry about a 35 rear offset on a 9.5". They are the 71s.


    Like but not sure about the polished lip on my car. I had some other polished lip knock offs on an suv and the clear coat got ruined.


    Let me know what you think.

    Sorry, I could not find plain pics to insert.

    Also the tires, I am going to try the Nitto Invo. I need something that can be used as a DD.

    And I am running stock suspension and plan on rolling the rear.

    I've always like the LM style but I also like the style of the VT996. I like the second one too but I prefer more of a dish.

    The 71s should have a nice concave to them which would also look nice.

    Marcus, your LM vote is void. You have the real deal, cannot vote for your own wheels

    How about the ESR1 instead of the Al SC-71?

    Anyone have experience with Euro Spec wheels. I am really digging them and the price is insane on E46f

    My preference is with #2, followed by #3. I'm a sucker for BBS style wheels on the 3 series...Most BMW's. #2 is also a little more understated and stealth and would fit the car/color combo. I've seen the #2 with 19's with a lowered suspension and it was stunning! I can't remember the name of the wheels off hand. They were replicas, about $700 for the set. Not sure of the weight though.

    Scroll down and you can click on the images of the CSL replicas on different cars.
