Picked a 320i chromey up today with these wheels on,not sure what im going to do with it yet,sell or break but decided to try the rims on my car!

7x15 ET24 with 205/50 tyres.
Cant see a make on any of them,centre caps with them but look crap!

I personally reckon they look pretty cool,proper retro especially if i was to remove the sideskirts like i was already thinking of doing?

So whats your opinion?
Keep in mind it only just came off the jack when i took the pics so it will settle a bit more after a while :)

Tony, Please change the wheels back, The 5 spokes do the car no favours. :cry:

Sorry mate, But I really think it has let the car down.

Well thanks for the votes and opinions guys :)

Think what ill do is keep them on there for now,at least till i get the front skirt back from paint and refitted.
Then ill go for a good drive and make up my mind depending on stance/drivability!

Well my thinking is this-

Swap the 35mm H&R springs for some 60/40mm ones
Remove the sideskirts
Paint the wheel centres very dark Grey/Black
Colour code the Back part of Mtec1 rear spoiler

I like em Tone!! Infact I reckon they would look better on a Red chromey?!!

What you thinking paint the spokes 'Graphite grey' or maybe darker? leave the dish silver?? Is that right......

Like you said bin the skirts, sell the front bib!! (Not really) SLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMM IT!
