Just the wheels will cost you around 2k+
Wheels have got wider dishes
Could be 8.5J front and 10J rear :?:
It's slammed, most likely on coilovers

Very nice car :cool:

WOW! Not my taste but looks awesome!

There is a guy on S14 who has done a similar thing with his M3 (widening wings etc.) Check out the 'Galleries' section.

what's not to like? :?

some of us can't afford the real thing but want the look (if you know what i mean?). winkeye
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.
getting oral sex off an ugly person is like rock climbing.....don't look down ;)

Look at this site. There are quiet a few E3o's with the Euro look there

http://www.felgen-man.de/english/indexenglish.html

That white one looks like 9j fronts and 10j rear. You can run 9j's all round without much arch work, but will have to get your rear arches flared to run 10j and you will also need a decent set of coil overs to drop the car to the correct height and lastly stretched rubber :wink:
