Still looking for wheels for next summer... need your opinions.

[dinanm3atl]

You may not like my suggestion, but this is an idea for when I buy a 6er.

18x8 OEM Benz wheels (with adaptors obviously), and use flat caps rather than the 3 stars. Would look good with a healthy drop.

Some monoblocks would be 1000x better than those wheels in my opinion. Like way better.

[schroedin]

I think the 19s could still look great... maybe try to find some to test fit?

[Zack01GC]

I have a friend with a 2007 M6 'vert. He still has the stock wheels I think (the car is on 22" 360Forged wheels now), I might throw them on to see how I feel about 19's before I do anything. He still has the stock wheels from his E46 M3 as far as I know, I might check those to see if I can even dig 18's on this car.

We'll see. Summer is very far away.

I think 19"s maybe a little too big for an E24. But I think they look DAMN good on this car.

[EtownC]

get some style 52's or whatever the 17" alpina looking wheels are, those would be illin

[Zack01GC]

Are these what you mean?



They aren't bad, I was considering them for a while.

Depending on if I get my job back for summer, I'd really like to grab something like this:


Or these...


But I think that will be tough, especially if I only get one of of my two summer jobs back.

[Effin' Euro]

i would say keep it 17 or 18.
maybe style 19's? they are within your budget...

[Zack01GC]

Those are always a possibility. Or Style 5's in shit-ass condition to refinish. That would also be a cheaper option.

[Effin' Euro]

yeah, just keep an eye out. good deals can be found. especially if you're willing to refinish.

[Reudiger]

i think you should try it.





this is 8,5X19 and 9,5X19. but my e24 looks like a x6
i hope i will get more stance

Some Style 32s would be dope, esp. if you could get your hand on a staggered 18 inch set. But then again, I'm a bit biased when it comes to these...

I think something OEM in staggered 18 would be the best. Some real thin rubber on it and as low as possible...

Some options I would consider would be the following:

Style 5 - 8x18 ET20 / 9x18 ET22 (if from an E38) or ET24 (if from an E39)
Style 32 - 8x18 ET20 / 9x18 ET22 / 24
Style 37 - 8x18 ET20 / 9x18 ET22 (E34 fitment) or 8x18 ET13 / 9.5x18 ET25 (E38 / E31 fitment)
Style 42 - 8x18 ET20 / 9x18 ET24 (E39) or 8x18 ET20 / 9.5x18 ET25 (E38)

I would def. go for something older to match the lines of the car, some real modern wheels would look awkward on it because the car itself looks so old (esp. because it's got us bumpers, they really age the car, imo).

If you go aftermarket, maybe think a bit out of the box and try some OZ Breytons in wide 17" setup, some like these:



If you color code the centers they could def. add a unique touch:

[RedE46Bimmer]

I love style 95s I just wish they were smaller. i think they could look cool on an e24 tho, need mucho low and will result in mucho tuck... which is a good thing

[raffi91]

OZ Breytons would look too sick on a e24. If you want cheap nice wheels go for the style 5 16 inch wheels off the e38. IMO they look great with some stretch and no center caps.

My wheels right now are the exact same size and offset as those. I have the Style 4's, 16x8 ET23. I want bigger and wider.

I've considered, always a possibility.
