BMW Style 2 wheels, from an E34. Not the best picture, but I'll get some better ones later. Really like how these look, although they need some spacing out.

No it hasn't . In fact the whole body is pretty messed up thanks to the previous owner's neglect.

Upshot is, that's part of the reason I got it so cheap. And despite looking horrible, it drives perfect

I just put on style 44's, stock sport suspension, no spacers. 17*8 et 47, 225/45. Really love the simple design. Had no idea black on black worked so well!

Looking at a beautiful set of BBS RS replicas tomorrow and I'm wondering what tire size/offset I will have to run to fit them on my 98' 318 M-Sport. The wheel dimensions are staggered at 16x8 in front and 16x9 in the rear. My car is lowered but not much, about 3/4 of an inch on Eibach pro springs and Bilstein Sports. I'm savvy with a tool kit, but I don't know much about wheel spacers and fender rolling. I would prefer to make minimal modifications and I appreciate any advice/info. The replicas are seemingly high quality, lightweight, and fairly priced. I've always loved the real deal but they are out of my price range

My favorite BMW wheel. My first BMW was a '91 M5 I purchased used in '93. The previous owner upgraded to the throwing star centers. I've had a few (11) BMWs since then but I do miss that M5 somtimes.

I'm running 17" BMW LTW wheels with 225/45-17 front and 245/40-17 on the rears with no rubbing. It all depends on wheel offset, tire size, how low it is dropped and so on. Good Luck with the Ti.
