    Aftermarket wheels on E38's

    I searched and didn't see anything like this. Over on the M5board, there is a thread dedicated to pictures of various wheels on the E39 M5 to help people visualize what the different styles would look like. I thought it would be great to have something like that here.

    Post up images of your car with various wheels and specs.

    The hellaflush/vip thread and the various show your car threads over the years is your best bet.

    Its a e38 appreciation thread on the stanceworks forum too with alot of unique wheels.

    Its Alpina, Style 95, M-Par city over here.

    Those look damn good especially with that color^

    Jimbo, your new RD's are some of my favorite. Anxious to see how that looks on the E38. They look outstanding on the E39's. I didn't like the last style as much though.

    They work well on Silver also...

    What is your car colour? Looks very similiar to Sorrentblau(360/2) like I have, but it is quite rare as I know on E38.
    Those MK Motorsports look very nice! I want a set of those too, gonna see when I will have enough money to buy 1200euro here just rims + 1200 for tires

    and sadly no old BMW anymore, only high powered Seat Leon Cupra 4Drive as a daily driver.

    Heck no Roger!! I would trust Noone to wash my car except me. That is all I would need is some one to wear their belt buckle or ring ect and scratch it. You see how far away from the building the car is parked right? It is in it's own parking lot shared by only a few people lol People know that is my corner of the lot.

    Same as Doom. 8 and 10k. ride it not as bad as I thought it would be but if you hit a bump you know it. Also makes noises when you turn the steering hard one way or the other at low speed. But it has happened in other cars that I have been in as well. Not 100% sold on them yet. I still have to get the car set for a proper alignment, we set it but it was not do exactly right and I feel it.

    I wonder if it just needs the roller bearing rings at the base of the springs. I believe it's the same issue as the E39's where the spring starts to turn when you turn the wheel.

    Same situation with the KIDO's on my E34. 8 and 10k, not terribly harsh but you know a bump when you hit it. Good product for the value.

    It is an ACS rear valance that was molded to the OEM bumper - so no seam.

    Thanks Darth. I'be been looking around wondering what wheels would look good on my Silver 750.
    I'll have to start searching the wreckers for M6 wheels. Nice.
