i was thinking that some 996 wheels would look kinda cool on an E36 M3/4? im i way off here?

id have to get wheel adaptors and spacers, and i dont know if the CB is doable, but thats why all you wheel gurus will chime in. :help

Porsche wheels are cool, but not those. Not by a long shot. I long to have phonedials on my E36.

The ten spoke ones would be decent. I don't know anything about sizing, I'm just a style expert ;)

They call them Porsche wheels for a reason!

Stick with BMW wheel styles!

I wouldn't buy from that site. Those are really cheap wheels. But I do think that the right offset could really make 'em hot, but also be prepared to slam your car, otherwise ftl!

Bolt battern is wrong, they wont' fit. BMWs are 5x120 and Porsche is 5x130.

Did you even bother to read one reply to this thread, let alone the OP? He said he would be running adapters.

Yes, I bothered to read the posts. I was unaware that adapters changed bolt pattern, as I've never tried anything like that in the past.

I wish I had known that sooner. A guy I knew was selling these super rare 3 piece OZ wheels he had on his boxer but I didn't think they'd fit. Oh well, they were 10 inches wide in the back so they would have been super excessive anyways.

Adapters :shifty. You could have them redrilled though, thats kosher.

I only really like the cross spoke LM looking ones, and the ten-spokers look super sexy. The others are bleh.

I personally would spend my money and effort on rims built to fit.

You can now call your car Frankie, short for Frankenstein.
