It seems that it's getting difficult to find new wheels that aren't 18" or bigger. I've asked around and most seem to think that 17 is a practical maximum for our older cars. the suspension isn't designed for rubberband tires and frankly, they just don't look right on an older classic. That said, it seems even tire rack has a very limited selection of wheels smaller than 18". Is there no source for 16 and 17" wheels that fit our cars. I'm mostly annoyed that i've found some I like (Moda MD2's) that are only available in 18+. Also it's just a personal thing, but I really don't like fake 2pc. If it has bolts, it should come apart, otherwise clean it up. The AR's would look nice if they didn't have fake bolts on them. Also is the M-parallel available in an ET-20 17"?

Im in the same boat.. The sad part Ive discovered is that Tire Rack actually has one of the biggest selections of 16" wheels for the older cars.... for example Discount Tire here in AZ offers only ONE, the Voxx MG's 16x7's with 5x120... In a way it kinda makes things easier.

Try some ac schnitzers wheels type I or some OZ futura or some BBS Rs thoses wheels look so nice and they suit really well with the classic style of e24s!

Great, but they are practically made of unobtainium! I like the futura's but who has them to fit the 635? What I really want is for jim to say that Tire rack just gotten the MD 2's in in 17"!!! My son picked those as his favorite and as i've looked on their website, i do like them a lot on a black car, but I just cant go 18"
