Does anyone have a clue what rims are fitted on this car ? It has a lot of BBS-characteristics but I don't think it is one.  |  |  | | 10-31-2006, 07:43 PM | #2 | | Member Join Date: Feb 2006 Location: Mullica Hill NJ Posts: 32 |

I have those in 17", i wish my lips were a little wider cause that just looks hawt.
be advised the rims are heavy - between 40-50lbs a piece w/ tires mounted so the 18's are more than likely closer to 60...
I may try and sell mine or trade them to go for a little lighter wieght __________________ 11/97 Base  328Ti

i didn't notice a huge difference... because i had the hubcaps on with the 185/60 tires, so it handles MUCH better with the 8" wide footprint but yeah, not a real noticeable loss in performance... id have to put the steelies back on, go for a rip and then go back to the rims and go for a rip to notice any difference.. not as much as everyone told me there would be if i got them anyways.. i still do 0-60 as quick as i did with my other steelies - maybe .3 seconds slower, if that - so im perfectly happy with them. the car will not lose traction now when i mash the throttle, unless i dump it (which i don't do and havn't done) and there is no way to chrip the little bugger in 2nd anymore if its dry out.. but why go lighter wheel... just go bigger engine or s/c right  lol __________________ 11/97 Base 328Ti
