    Default howsabout these wheels?

    Another wingman wheel post. I saw these yesterday on an E38 and reckon that they look great. I was wondering whether anyone has a good photo of them (Shogun???) that I could use to photoshop them onto my car to see how they look.

    Mate, if you're gunna get new wheels at least get 17s. A set of M-Pars would look the ducksnuts on your car.

    I see your point but I don't want to get too far away from the original look of the car. 16" wheels in 1989 were HUGE, 17" almost unheard of on this type of car.

    I have these wheels and they look splendid. I find them very tasteful, not showy, and very matching to the rest of the appearance of my car. They give somewhat agressive but yet civilized look.

    I wanted to recommend these to you. But. I had recently spent some time under the car and found the rims bend at the inner rim. My car spends long times in parking since I generally use something else, so I really cannot tell whether the rims were bent due to road deformations or long times resting on same spots. I don't recall hitting bumps so harshly.

    The rims are not egg shaped so I like to imagine that the bends were from driving. The deformations span 4-5 inches along circumference.

    I can take a shot of my car so that you can see how they look if you are still intersted.

    The picture below does not do good justice since the tire diameter is larger.

    That would be great. Not good news about the deformations though
