cheap compared to the real thing- anyway $1000 will get you a set of "crappy" wheels- anything good costs money

Apparently not cheap enough, no one bid on them.
You can spend just a little bit more and get a good set of "real" wheels. For instance, Tire Rack has 17 x 8 BBS RK's for $288 each ($1152 per set).

I'd say buy them if you like them! Who cares if there not one of the more popular wheel brands. I think they would look good on a E36.

I came so close to buying those wheels for my 93' 325is. I was on the phone with the company telling them to tell me how much I would like them. I declined though, and went with the HP EVO 18x8 wheels. Now I can say I am happy
Those are some phat rims. Id get them.

I did some messing around on photoshop and came up with this. The wheels you like on this awesome E36 (Thank you owner of the car.) Looks Hot!

wow, i actually really like those rims. but i don't think they look the best in silver finish w/clear coat.
a wheel like that needs a high polished look to it, that would be sweet!

im not worried about the price of fixing them. its the time wasted on getting them fixed if i hit a major pothole.

I have a question: given that these are CNC'd does that mean milled out of a huge hunk of metal? and if so was that hunk cast or forged/pressed cuz I was always told to get forged wheels for their higher strength (big wheels, thin tires and crap roads in SF).
otherwise those rims looks fantastic in that photochop mockup!!! wow
