to modify or not vs resale value ?

The thing is people who know are going to know those are the entry level 3 series rims, so it might be a case of 'what's that doing on a 7'?

valuable input :thumbs::thumbs: thanks

these are for sale.....and I am still "itching".....but before I go ahead and lay out some $$$ and then get "SHUNNED" by the FANATICS, I would rather ask an opinion, the classic has 16" and these 18" will fill up the wheel well nicely, my tyres are almost done for and will need to be replaced soon (6 months) and before I buy new tyres for the existing Mags maybe be darring and buy tyres to go with a totally new set of Mags like those below.

so what says the "guru's" on the look of these wheels on my classic 7

This is a tough one, your 7 looks so original which is not a bad thing :=):

Maybe one of the fanatics can photoshop the pic for us with the prospective rims ?

I like... :)

At the end of the day and as everyone said... do it based on what you like.. to hell with the people that don't and judge.

I try and do mods on my car but only very slightly so as to not have it look the same as everyone else's and yet try and keep it subtle because I like it that way.

You then get the guys that go all out and some like what they do and others don't...

Some would say I shouldn't have done to the exhaust what I did today and you know what... frankly I don't give two shits what they say cause it's mine and it's what I wanted. :=):

I would say from the pics you posted it will look good on your car.. Again a subtle change and makes the world of difference.

I really like this look, whereby the exhaust isn't cut-out from underneath, but rather comes out of dedicated slots from within the rear body

The Wheels are cheap enough to venture the look. I'm just not sure what the PCD is on your 7 series. Is it also 5x120? Offsets should hopefully be ok.

Looks wise I think it could be great.

all those exhaust images are where a cut-out has been made from underneath, I am going to try to do the cut-outs mid way up as per the image I posted earlier on this page

I think the exhausts dont look quite right :fencelook:

I would just add some kickass wheels and more low.. OEM+ :thumbs:

Just my opinion
