Hey everyone,
I have been looking for style 42 replicas in 17" and can't seem to find any that fit my 328. I have a set of ADR M-Classics now in 18" and love them.I have decided they are too rough w/ low profile tires, not to mention heavy, for the street. Unfortunately they quite making them in silver :( I have style 42's on my 530i and love them too. I want a set of 17x8 or 17x7.5 et35-40mm, reps so I can have a more comfortable tire for everyday use, then keep the 18's for DE's. I have looked at the ASA's and they are only 8 spoke and I don't care for the BBS wheels either. The Beyern wheels are pretty nice but they dont have the 3 piece look. I am considering haveing the fenders rolled and buying a set of E39 Style 42's, but I'd rather not have to do the body work.Here's a pic of EXACTLY what I am looking for.

http://www.lakeshorewheelandtire.com/ , http://www.finishlinewheels.com/ Have never dealt with either company, but I found them on my quest for staggered 17" 42's.

Did you search the classified section on the forum? A couple of months ago someone was selling a really clean set of 17in style 42s. I have the the 16x7 that I just refinished and I can't wait to get tires for 'em. :D

Be patient, every so often there's someone selling a set and usually for cheap on here.
