Seeking 17" wheels for E46

[Caddy101]

Hi

Its time for my 318i to get new tyres and since I have the standard 16 inches, I thought I would take this opportunity to shop for something bigger and better looking.

So if anybody has a set of 17" wheels (with good tread on the tyres) that would look good on a E46 Exclusive, please let me know.

Look for the individual mags... they honestly look the best on an e46 and keep the car looking stock... no Jap Crap...

I'm looking for original BMW 17", not Jap crap. LOL!!

But I'm not sure if the individual rims will look good on my baby...

Those Individual 17" that came on the 330ci with wides and narrows are the best. I have a set of 5 that have been refurbished (2x narrows and 3x wides) but they have used Bridgestone RE55S on them - the tyres are more suited to track days I guess.

I would be happy with any of the following...

You could also have a look on gumtree there are always lots of wheels for sale.

I got the individual wheels , dunno if I'll get a good price though . With 5000km on the tyres all round . Offers ?

Depending on the condition R5k should be fair price, and no that is not a offer I already have a set :grin:

Lots of wheels on gumtree! Just be careful with buying used and "refurbished" wheels - wasted well over a month with a few sets of wheels that ended up being buckled and otherwise scrap-metal - luckily was able to get my money back.

My advise, see if you can have the wheels put on a balancing machine so that you can see for yourself their actual condition! :thumbs:
