Im leaning more torwards the 17" rondell 58's and the 18" M Parallel's

the M's are a couple hundred dollars cheaper but based on quality im guessin the rondell's are definantly worth it.
sorry if i have offended anyone on this board for using their pics. you should be lighthearted because that means i like your wheels

No kidding. Caught me off guard too, because of the Where Is Angrypancake thread too lol!

[Boone.Msi]

haha yea sorry

[Qube]

Kraftwerk! Kraftwerk! Kraftwerk!

[Boone.Msi]

ah cmon!!! this is turning out like the Kerry vs. Bush election... VOTE!

[Felixdacat]

The Hamann's rock. Besides who's Winfred?

[Gayle]

Show us a side picture of your car. The choice of wheels is influenced by a lot of stuff, like is your car lowered, does it look racey or classic, yada yada yada. The wheels need to fit with the over all look. Can't really tell that from the front on pic.

[ricola]

Anyone have a photo of the kraftwerks and Hamman side by side?

I had Hamman HM2's on my M3. I still have 3 wheels. One was destroyed, one was bent, the other two now have curb rash. I sold the car to a 18 yr old kid. 30 days later it looked like this. I bought the salvage.

[Qube]

Give me a sec for side on Hammans.

Here we go...

[Felixdacat]

Dude, I bet that hit you in the heart seeing this.

[Felixdacat]

Qube, What is the color code for Gamite's car? I love this color. I want to paint mine this color, but with a hit of black cherry pearl.. Not trying to change the topic.

[Boone.Msi]

Cant get a photo right now, too dark out...

i will have the suspension done before the wheels are put on. it will be lowered, most likely with the eibach kit.

i wouldnt say im going for the racey look as it is a 530ia but i want it to be the most stylish e34 in georgia.

id say plans in the future would consist of:

eibach springs
new boge shocks
euro smileys
Hid conversion
euro or smoked frnt/tail and corner lights
540i lip (w brake ducts)
possibly upgrade calipers/rotors
calipers painted red
shadowline

but for now its bone stock:D

You can't even imagine.. Those photos don't show the extent of the damage. The car left the road at over 100 mph. Driver was ejected, no seat belt, passanger road it out. Both were fine.

I was told it was a Dealer demo only color Daytonaviolett with the early 3.0 euro motor.

BTW I voted for the Hamman, but the Kraftwerks look identical...

I'm going to be sick now.

[ricola]

Here we go...


Which ones are the Kraftwerks? Cool

[Macv]

Style 5's for black.

nice lip, turns any black car mean! >:)

That or M par ftw!!!

[Thayne]

Rondell 58s or M parallels.

im lucky im not dead. I was going 60 in a 55 when a toyota camry thought it would be a good idea to run a redlight. i layed on the horn with my left hand before i hit her. breaking all four bones in the center of my hand. best news out of all of this: i got blamed for the accident...

truck wasnt a ricer either... 4.3 vortech 5spd with alot of money, blood and sweat put into it

[Macv]

thats my girl, she was all freaked out. she barely even got a bruise

[Jon K]

How about a little

[HDhandyman]

can't do better than an AC Schnitzer type I on an E34!

[Blitzkrieg Bob]

forget that bling stuff!

You need a set of these!

[Paul in NZ]

Mpars but only the real thing,so i voted For de rondells,totally e 34 compatible,with just a little more modern look

[Nick.Hay]

HM2s are THE ****!!!

They are awesome!!


If only I could afford a set...

[Boone.Msi]

welll i think ive come to a decision...

The M Parallels

I took a look around at the rondell's and the cheapest i could get a set of staggered 17''s was 1200 shipped. just for the rims.

with the M pars i can have rims and good tires for that amount

This is probally the seller im gonna go with, they seem reputable.

The other seller i was lookin at is lakeshorewheelandtire.com

What do you guys think about the ebay seller? anyone bought from them?

[Martin in Bellevue]

Bob, yer right. Nothing says "grandpa's car" like the bottlecaps.
http://www.bimmer.info/bmw/Martin5er/winterShoes.jpg
Although, I just turned my back on the bottlecaps because of the worn-out pirelli's & the missing wheel weights. The throwing stars somehow look much better today.

It has been several months since I've posted these same pictures, so I hope it is ok.

[Macv]

Post pics when you get them and get them on ;)

Mmmmm, nicest Bronzit (right??) car ever.

[Boone.Msi]

oh i well, im gonna go with a 265/35 rr and a 235/40 frnt. I wanted 275/35 rr and 245/40 frnt but from reading the forum it seems alot of people had problems with that setup and i want a trouble free ride, i rubbed on the front tires on my last car and it was a pain in the ass turning in parking lots etc.

does anyone or anyone know someone who have M parallels with 275/35/18 245/40/18 tires and a 15mm/25mm offset?

I polished these today. Its neat to know they go for more than the much vaunted and coveted M-pars...:)

[Macv]

Because they scream class.

[Jehu]

i think i'll get new roundells for the centers. These look faded.
