    Style 29's on E24's

    These are the stock E39 wheels that I think look terrible on E39's (hence the reason they came off the Touring before I got it home), but I sold my Style 5's this friday, and threw the 29's on Cosmo to tide me over while the 72's are re-done.

    I won't keep them (in fact, I'm going to sell them), but I think they look FAR better on an E24:






    For Comparison:


    (and for kicks, what replaced them on the Touring)

    I like. All they need are a deeper, polished lip.......

    If you are thinking of selling them, I would be interested....

    It's funny how our quest for the correct wheel never ends. Even after finding a set of Alpina's, I still find myself wondering what if. But I don't find myself getting rid of them.

    Touring does look great. Amazing how a wheel can make such a change.

    when you tire of looking for the perfect wheel, it's a sure sign it's time to sell the car....

    Did you need any spacers or is the backspacing at ET20?

    A lot of the E39 wheels look dated on their cars, but look quite nice on a E24. Style 5's, 42's, 32's, 37's, 65's, etc.

    "Cheers"

    That's not a response I would expect from somebody on Long Island...another island yes, but not Long Island.
