So I am in the market for 17" BMW wheels for my 1998 Arctic Silver 328is. It's completely stock with tinted windows (20% in the front, 5% back). I can't decide on which style I like the best and it's hard to imagine what each style will look like on my car. I am leaning towards the staggered style 68's. Here are a few example of what I am considering. Any suggestions?

I know it's not OEM BMW, but i think some 17 or 18 inch BBS RSs in a more aggressive fitment would be a great wheel for your car.
Just a suggestion.

Thanks for the suggestions! I have always liked BBS wheels, but it seems like they are usually much more expensive. I really like the wheels in link 2 as well. Does anyone have any experience putting e90-e92 wheels on an e36? It looks like the offset and everything is close, but what about the center bore size? Is this about the same between all the e36, e46, e90 and e92 non-M 3 series?

The staggered link. Link 2 and 3 are way too expensive in my opinion for what you are getting

The best 17" BMW OEM wheels are not e36 fitment. The two piece 7 spoke st19's are the best by far.

If you like polished LTWs, let me know. I have a full set (5) of the 17x7.5 that I want to get rid of.

on the e36 i would suggest the staggered. im planning on getting some for my e36 and theyre are less expensive. only down side is that they will be harder to keep clean

Out of the ones you've picked, and just going by looks, i prefer link 2.

I have the e46 m3 style 67s on my 97 328, I think to make them fit you have to get all 4 of them as front rims

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I ended up buying a set of staggered style 68 wheels and tires. I really like how they look!

The only OEM 17in wheels I like for the 3er:
Style 50
And if you can make it fit, the M systems wheels or Style 42
