Since you've brought the 850 to light with your recent purchase, I've been looking through Ebay just to see the wheels on them. There was one that was red with MP's on it, and they really looked sweet....if you can find a set, for a good price, get 'em! They looked awesome on the 850!

Hate the fake bolts which manufacturers use to simulate a composite wheel... who are they trying to fool?

Oh **** it! Just get some fake stick on plastic Brembo caliper covers and a set (4 of course) of those 'whizzer' exhaust tailpipes with a pop off valve that are supposed to sound like a turbo and wastegate while you're at it. :p

Seriously... I'd be looking at either 'T' Stars or something less 'wannabe' for your E31... just make sure they're fully chrome and at least 24"... or I'll call you a 'girly man'!! :D :D :D

Those are gross.

Go for a concave or "flat" wheel, rather that a wheel that is convex and "bows out".

I dont think their gross, I really like the M-parallels but they seem kinda plain, thats why I opted for these. A little different, and those that dont know dont know. Since I never saw an 850 how would I be able to tell without going up close and inspecting? It will look okay when im done, at least in my eyes.

I wanted the 2 piece BBS cross spokes but the idea of cleaning em on the ground sortof kicks me out of that idea.

Can someone 'shop those rims onto an e31 and also make them black, but leave the lip polished silver.
Looks good in my head? :P

lol, I added a picture. cant seem to find the correct center cap inserts. Looks like on ebay someone got a case of the wrong ones and is selling them just to get rid of em, small print says wont fit aftermarket rims.. poor guy.

With dustless pads = and a light coat of wax. My Style 5 wheels are easy to clean. Not a problem at all.

+1

What's the point of a deep lip if the spoke design juts out into that space and ruins the look?

Jeff, While I hate the guys over at The Wheel Exchange, my comment of the wheel you chose has nothing to do with my personal feelings toward them. I just think you should pick a wheel based on the car its being applied to...and trust me, mounting a high offset wheel design onto a low offset car looks "iffy" at best. I hate to say it, but you purchased extremely heavy wheels that are over priced and in my personal opinion, distract from the look of the car.
