    Thanks for the input and all the advice. I sold the rims & tires for $950 ($300 more than I paid for them). So tell me, what can I get for $950 rims and tires? I would really like to get a set of 17's.

    Definitely agree but yum! Unfortunately it looks like it protrudes and is prone to curb rash... reminds me of the the wheels on my B5 Passat... horrible rashes/rocks.

    I've always been a fan of the 19" wheels. Some may say roller skates, but it can be pulled off nicely.

    My ride quality dropped when going from 15" to 17".
    And that was with lightweight geniune T-Stars.
    With heavy 19's I hope you have smooth roads!

    For a while on my 525 last year I had a set of 18's, but the ride quality was still pretty good. My suspension was Eibach springs and sways, and Koni's. There were a few other things in there. But it was really sweet, no rubbing or anything. Ride quality didn't feel sacraficed. I think 19's wouldve been sweet. I rode in this dudes '92 525 that had 20's on it once. What a moron. His whole front end was ****ed up in like a month.

    If you were shopping for some shoes, would you ask people on a message board what to buy? Go and look at as many pictures of e34's with different rims, then choose for yourself. I'm sure you will find something that YOU like, then buy them. We all love these cars, and we all have different tastes. YOU will be driving the car everyday though, so go with you're own style and make the car a reflection of YOU.

    I understand what you are saying. What I was looking for was an idea of the style of rims and tires that can be had for around $950. Ultimately, the choice will be mine and mine alone. However, this doesn't preclude input on what type of product I can expect to get for the money I intend to spend. Thanks again.
