    Default Would I be insane to spend $1600 on these wheels?



    They look yummy... currently have 18" replica M parallels. These wheels are nicer and 17" tires are less expensive... and I actually have some tires that will fit these rims.

    Or should I save up and treat myself to some Fikse wheels for christmas?



    Mmmmmm... Fikse FM10's...


    My main concern is the hubcentric rings needed to make the E39 BBS RC 090 rims fit.

    you running spacers for those M3 wheels? I also have a set of E36 M3 wheels lying around, but they are in rough shape and would need about $600 or better in refurbishing.

    I have had poo-poo experience buying rims off of eBay. I did get a quote from Fikse and I could get into a set of 17" wheels with some nice rubber on them for $2800-3000 including shipping... that may be the more unique way to go.

    if you're going all out how bout a set of BBS LM's? I think Umnitza is having a 4th of July sale deal with 25% off? Maybe I'm retarded, but there's definitely a sale.


    But those style 5's are so highly polished, they would be soooooo nice. However, how much does it cost to get them polished like that? You could conceiveably pick up a set of decent condition ones and have em polished up like that, probly would be less than $1600. Judging from the pics those are available on Saliya's website? (euromcars).

    there's a member here, he's much much more active on bf.c.... name of skateparks. he has a set of staggered 18" style 5's, with gunmetal or is it black? centers. Since you have smoked headlights, corners, tails... I remember when he got them. ~1600 on ebay. Had an issue with the seller though, one of the wheels was apparently bent and he didnt find out til later, and had it fixed. Regardless, he said they're for sale, but wont be cheap. I'm assuming he wants what he paid plus a bit for tires.

    Good point.... They would look sweet! I had a set in 18", never got around to polishing them, ended up selling for $700 or so on the bay
