But seeing as you already bought a wheel, lowering the front will go a long way to improving the look. Maybe play around with some plastidip to see what a single colour finish will look like....yes its not for the purists but its got potential...go for it:coolShake:

I would have suggested M-parallels if I didn't know that finding them is near impossible. At least style 32s are achievable.

Yes, finding them is a challenge but not impossible. Have seen a few sets come up, unfortunately they do demand a premium...

Haters... LOL. I really wanted the M parallels myself and it was not the direction I intended to go on but when I got to the place to buy them and you roll them out to the car to check them out as a suggestion I thought they had a unique possibility I got a vision and it's going to work just wait and see

That really is sweet i like that.... I think when my windows and trim are blacked out and the stance is tweaked it's going to look a lot better

Im surprised by the number of, "no's" because they were not what I was really looking for... But when I saw them on the car I definitely saw potential... Again the show doesn't stop here.... I will have to tweak some things to pull it together.... I really must say I thought they might effect the handling and ride quality but really they don't... So that's a plus... I wasn't sold on the slant in the spokes... Prefer a straight look like a double bar star type but they didn't have them...

But they are growing on me.... But definitely have to make some other changes to pull it all together.... Plus it will be unique.... Vs the same old thing...

Don't get me wrong, that does look awesome... And my original rims look similar but were smaller and it was just too much rubber and a little bit plain... But the picture does look classy.... My car is a little beat up to pull off that kind of classy.... Lol

Those are my favorite.... Hands down.... No question and I wanted a set that mimic the parallel m's with this black and silver like i have but... They didn't have them... Im still not sold on the slant on these but im giving them the chance, I have the option to exchange... Just feeling them out really

They have an inventory of a lot of different types I really think I want something very similar but more star shaped or with straight spokes.... Im just not sure about the slant look but I just can't decide I do sort of like them the more I have them.... I really just want to see how they look when I get my windows blacked out and all the black trim on my car really really black and shiny again because I think you could work and also researching ways to lower my front end a hair

I just started a new job where I'm making much much more money than I was before and I just went to a rent and roll kind of place as a sort of a celebration... I don't have lots of cash as of yet butt as a vote of confidence in myself I went ahead and splurged... The terms on buying the same as cash is actually really fair... However if I decide I can't afford them or don't like them or whatever I can just give them back no penalties no nothing for fifty bucks a week I figured I would just try something different and throw things out there have fun

If I can just nurse this baby out till tax time then I'll sell this car put up my tax money and get the E38 I really want. This is my practice baby as much as I love her it's not nearly as pretty as it could be it's just my first taste of a long journey into a passion for these cars

TBH they do not suite the car well. But this is your car and should make you happy. You shouldn't spend money based on what other people like.

Hi

Since u asked for opinions heres mine...

It wouldnt be my choice of wheel on a classic car such as the e38. However since you already have it u could def make it work... Get rid of the black insert...spray the rim a flat colour pref hyper silver and add bmw caps...

Before you go spending money on new wheels, I'd say try and change the colour of the wheel 1st. The main issue I see is the fact that the dish is all black, I think if you get the rims sprayed fully in hypersilver. And lower the car within reason, it will look pretty good IMO. Side skirts and beadings in body colour and all trim blacked out, will suit the car well.

Just my 2 cents
