I'm looking for some 18's for my 94 540i. Maybe 5 spoke? The car is shadowlined, black, and 20% tint all the way around. Still open for suggestions.

i love them, i'd have a set for my car

however you'd need to get a set of hubcentric rings to make them fit

I don't know if I'd match chrome wheels with shadowline myself. You'll also need to buy that thing who's name is not coming to me to make the wheels fit. Drop some pics if you buy them though, the set looks nice.

Go with 17s. Your fuel economy and ride comfort will be much happier. And small car thats lowered will make those 17s look big. Have you checked the for sale ads on this forum?

I was actually just thinking about that because it seems theres a hell of a lot more 17's for sale than 18's and I plan on dropping her but not sure how much yet. My price range is basically $1000 right now but shhh don't let anyone know haha not trying to get hustled. So the search starts again.

not bad, those are a higher offset tho

these with bmw centers and if they came in 9.5 rears would be perfect IMO

No ebay is not a wheel manufacturing company. It is "an online auction and shopping website in which people and businesses buy and sell a broad variety of goods and services worldwide."

ebay.com

Generally when someone refers to something as an "ebay XXXX" they mean that it reflects a general poor quality and/or knockoff product.

If you would like to know anything else about how the internet, and general online shopping works feel free to ask and I will be glad to help.

XOXOXO

Depending on the tread left on the style 5's I'm looking at, these may be an option too.

or tire rack, these are cheap as hell and look good, then get a tire package

The thing is I have no idea what kind of tires to look for. I mean I don't want to buy the tires for $89 a piece but I also don't want to end up paying $800.

Those wheels do look light-years better than the wheels posted prior. I'd rock them if they came in 9"- probably do all-black though.
