Do you guys think those are worth 300 without tires?

[Analog]

I think they would look ok.

Offer him $200 and work from there.

[HE53]

I've seen sets sell for 400 with tires..

[slocar]

I offered 250 and he came back with 300, I'm not sure it's gonna go far from here.

I'd still like to see a pic though.

THanks for the opinions guys. :)

[Racerhoze]

I have been really tempted to pick up a set of those. I think they would look good, plus NOBODY has e60 wheels on e34s.

[Sam Son]

I think itd look pretty good

[CleanE34]

wouldn't look bad. offer him 250 cash on the spot. money talks.

[Mr Project]

.. NOBODY has e60 wheels on e34s.

You are so right.

(BTW, I've been anxious to see a set of the 5-spokes on an E34, I think they could look good.)

[Racerhoze]

You are so right.
I was hoping someone would come along and prove me wrong. ;)

I knew Mr. P would come in and flash that picture! Our heeeeeroooooo

such humble wheels for such a badass wagon

[WolfStrong]

I posted this question up not even a week ago asking for a photoshop as well! I have sense discovered my brother's computer has CS2, so here is a quick and crappy photochop. Not sure whos car this is, but it was just one of the first ones I found.

Overall...interesting. May be worth it considering how cheap they can be had for.

I am kind of digging it. When I go for new tires, I may just buy some tires already on a pair and call it a day!

[tfritz]

i had them chopped onto my car... let me look

[WolfStrong]

A second quick chop:

Hum...new tires alone for $400 or those wheels + tires with 75%+ thread left for $500-600. This decision is becoming harder and harder...

[4500 RPM]

They're too new-looking...too curvy.

[WolfStrong]

Too curvy to pay and extra $200 to have them over 15" faded and yellowed basketweaves?

Does anyone have any info on what would need to be done to make these things fit? I'm starting to think this might be a good idea for my wheel dilemma!

No, but you'll need tires too. I prefer to wait for the ridiculous other Craigslist deals...like Style 5s with good tires for $500

Nothing. They are hubcentric and correct offset already. It's plug and chug.

and then tell me about said deals:help

you've found some crazy deals on CL

[HE53]

There is an E32 around here with them on it..

I really don't like it all that much. I mean.. I guess its better than stockers, but its not better than any E39 wheels, or any after market wheels.

Exactly.

BTW: These Craigslist deals aren't local. Be prepared to have cash in hand and ready for an 800 mile drive.

[clevertd]

do you use crazedlist?

[robram12]

Not quite what you're looking for but here are some pics of style 123 on my car. Purchased them off local Craigs for $200, with practically brand new hankook tires. Had them on my car literally for 3 days; hated them. They look great on E60s but not so much on our cars. E34s are meant to have dip dish-type wheels imo. Went back to my style 58s. Best part was that i sold the set for $500. Cha-Ching!

Had this minor scuff mark on one of the wheel but still great buy for the $.

5mm offset on the back (after added 15mm spacers to fill in the gap)

I think those ones you're trying to get will look much better. I say get them.

[billygoat777]

First photoshop edit looks pretty good, I'm interested to see what it looks like if you end up getting them.

^ Those dont look that bad either but from far away it makes ur e34 look like a jetta.

[E34Mekanik]

All E60 wheels look terrible on E34s. I don't care who has them or what anybody says. They do not compliment or bring out one line of the classic E34, and are really cheap-looking. Like periwinkle E46 323i cheap-looking. E60s are pieces of shit.
DONT put something on your E34 just because it's cheap. I will gladly rock my 15 inchers until I find a great deal on the rial daytona race wheels I want.

[gadjetsinc]

nice

[SC David]

They're not bad, not great either. They'll improve the responsiveness of the car a little bit with some good tires, so maybe worth it just for that reason. Otherwise, just use that $300 towards a nicer set of wheels.

Damn dude, that's some serious slammage. What are you running?

I'm a member of the "CutSpringClub", well, my rear at least. I have koni/vogtland/m5pad on the front, billies sports/h&r 2 coil cut sitting with perch set at lowest = minimal rakeness. And the best setup i've ever had on the car.

With it lowered like that, your car would last all of 20 minutes on the roads here ... but yes, it does look lovely.
