E24 635CSI on air

[cruzd4]

The wheel choice was something I thought a lot about but I think they make the oem+ look complete. For anybody interested these are identical to the wheels that were featured in the Chevy Chase movie "Nothin But Trouble" on an e23 733I.

Sorry but "hammers" are for Merc's. Being an e24 owner myself I love everything about it except the wheels. You can do better man - just try...

By you own admission above these wheels were on an "E23"...you've an e24!

I get wanting to stay period correct with your wheels, but I feel like something else would just work so much better with this car. If not RSs, then Remotecs, RAs, Borbet type As, etc would be a step up, IMO. Don't think you cant find a good deal if you look around, I once scored a set of 16X8 RSs for 189 shipped on ebay, just have to search like a mofo.

Yes they do look good, but they are a bit off a safe choice. There are alot of wheels that look just as good or better then BBS. But most people have them just to have BBS.

While there are plenty of other options out there, let's not make claims like this. There's a reason the RS reamins as one of the most popular wheels in the world 20 years later...

It's a given that i do not agree with the original claim, but i do feel that the rs is only so popular of a wheel because it was so mass produced.

I completely agree, If I wanted something that looked like the 6 other stanced e24s Id go meshies... I'm always hunting for new rims but unless Rotiform or fifteen52 sponsors me the new look may come tomorrow or in 5 years /shrug who knows. But like everybody else in the scene if the right deal comes along Im not gonna let to slip through my fingers.

I personally think bigger & wider would do the car justice, but it's not terrible by any means. The car looks very clean & the owner is proud of it & that;s all that really matters.

I would like it a bit higher, and with som 18"...No it looks unproportional unfortunatly

If mass production had anything to do with the success of a wheel, we'd be seeing the cast jokes in the showroom at Discount Tire on every car on this forum.


OP,

If you're insisting on keeping the wheels, I think a serious set of spacers and more drop in the front will help you out in a large way.

i'm just saying that rs wheels are the most popular of 3pc mesh wheels only due to the fact that they easy to find. anyone that can type rs into ebay can have a fully restored set of rs wheels in any offset and size they want.

Spacers are definitely on the way, the problem with going lower in the front is that the pan and control arms are on the ground air'd out. If you look, the design is very similar to my ep3, the car is completely level but the front arches are higher than the rear so to go lower in the front is going to require some serious fab work.

There's more than arch difference at play- If your front is laid out, put a bump stop in the back. It's reverse-raked and I think that'd also help to improve what you're doing.

fckn dope!!

[blowntwofive]

looks sweet **** the wheels on this car i would say cause of size i bet if the size of the wheels were bigger and wider i think it would look better

[RallyePug]

If you make all the chrome/metal/polished stuff on the car black or get rid of it, it would look a LOT better.

[G535]

Eh. Not feeling it at all with those wheels. Maybe if they were bigger and wider...

THIS.

Aber Bastien, die BOR Jungs fänden es voll cool so 7x17

I'm digging the wheels, "Prime" Hammers were the rage back in the day for knockoffs.
