    Imo a bit too modern for the e34's classical lines.
    Style 5 and M-parallels are the way to go.

    they look like kerb rash specials,straight to the spokes.......I think the e34 looks best with the 5 t stars or some other 5,6 or 7 spoke designs,(ie style 10).However Kriss its your car
    style 10s

    theres a e34 running around here with those on it and i am not impressed, they don't really match the lines of the car, but you may like it

    I have these.. but they're 18's..

    check out my cardomain site. http://www.cardomain.com/id/incantation

    the pics don't really do the rims justice.. but when the car is parked i often see people standing on the sidewalk looking at the wheels.. and many times i have been asked where i got them etc. they really do make the car look original and more modern.

    the lines on them are nice.. the body of the e34 is both round and rigid.. and that's the same for the rims.. they're rigid and rounded too.. so it works. they look especially good spinning..

    you could also opt for the m-parallel. they look good but everyone and their dog has them. or you could opt for the racing dynamics 5-spoke which is a classic wheel, however the e34 version comes with a re-inforced lip which looks crappy compared to the version with 10" in the back that has just a smooth rounded surface to which the spokes are joined. (as with the car below)



    these won't fit on a stock setup.. when i took these off my 850 i had to shave about 1/4inch off a 1/4inch part of the control arm in the back to make them fit.. which a fabricator friend of mine said would be structurally sound. the wheels are too big though.

    i think the hamann hm-2 are also a good choice.

    check out this site if you wanna size on a few wheels:
