Red 1989 325i SE

40mm lowered all round

Looking for the perfect alloys to finish her off preferably 17'

Thinking of Azev A's but like the look of egk2's wheels (v. similar car too)

Advice, suggestions and photos of your setups would be much appreciated as I need some inspiration :roll:

this is so much down to your taste it's impossible to recommend anything other than our own preferences.

personnally i like genuine alpinas (16s) and dished wheels with polished rims like konig holes or team dynamics megastar.

consider how much you like cleaning however - any wheel mounted on a disk brake hub will get brake dust on it every journey - if you want the paint to last it requires cleaning off. cleaning multi-spoke wheels takes some time. i know i'm more clean car freak than most but i polish my wheels (20 spoke alpinas) after every journey - it takes around 25 minutes. a set of five spoke wheels would be far easier...

i suggest you take a browse through the members cars and the photos forum and see what suits.
