Guys,

I need to replace the tires on my new 535i, but want to do the rims too while I'm at it.

IYO, which of the 17" BMW wheels look best on our cars? T stars are cool, but very rare and hard to find.

Would wheels from a 2003 540i be nasty? I don't want to drop M parrs on there, too similar to my Touring.

due to the state of your car i'd go with Mpars or Tstars/Turbines it doesnt deserve abything less

... or at least maybe polished styling 5

Style 5's would look stunning.

I'm thinking style 5's, 17".


I'll post pics when they're on - I'm afraid I'll have to keep the car clean now....

Not many people have done style 5s. I think that would be new and fresh.

I'm no baller, so I sold them. I personally do not like them in 18". Proportions just look funky.

This link is amazing, exactly what I wanted to see, thanks.

How about some 16" Styling 10's? Would look pretty OEM, no?

What about trying m-pars? It's not done often but can look pretty good.
