Default My New Wheels! - CSL on a 318ti E46

Hi All, I finally got some new wheels and gotten them fitted! A nice set of 18" x 8" CSL (40ET).

Before:





After:





Just need to get the center badges and I'm all done.

I had to get the new wheels since I hit a massive rock in the road and cracked two of the MV3 style wheels, decided that since I had to get some new wheels I might as well pick a whole new set.

Think I did good ...

the 18's never looked right IMO... they're just missing something that the 19s have.

either way, they look 10x better than your old bling wheels so, good pick up

Looks great! I love everything about the E46 ti except the front end. Why BMW why? Just normal E46 headlights would be amazing. I am beating a dead horse though...

Those look great. Very nice rims. And I always love the E46 ti. I wish I could get one here in the states.

that is the 1st time i have seen a e46 compact, let's just say im glad i have the e36 version. nice wheels though.

you know if you tie a rope to one of them and toss it in the water, it can hold a ship in place right? cool added feature.

I agree, that one is the nicest out of all the ones you posted normal headlights FTW, but I think it may be photoshopped
