Finally got my rims...

[m3f_SIDEWAYS_78bada9b0e]

yes, that's right, they're WORK (Japanese brand wheel)...but before you guys start flaming, I used to also be against Japanese wheels on European cars...I rolled BBS RCs for almost 7 years on my M3...but I finally decided I wanted more lip, and a staggered set-up, despite the disadvantages of rotating front-to-rear and vice versa. And since I've ALWAYS loved WORK Equips (my buddy had them on his Supra Turbo and they looked SOOO clean), I looked into them and lo n' behold, WORK actually made wheels for Euro car specs (off-set, lug pattern, etc.). Anyway, so I made the plunge...enjoy.~



BTW, they are 18x8.5 front w/ 235/40-18 and 18x9.5 rear w/ 255/35-18, rolling on Bridgestone S-03s...and I LOVE THEM! Perfect off-set, no rubbing...I finally have some fat rubber on back!~ :thumbsup:

Nice, something different. How much were they? and how did you get a hold of them>?



Is that a chrome finish?

Simply beautiful! Some of the nicest wheels (cosmetically) I have seen. Now the money question - how much do they weigh/cost??

[m3f_Sirius_880bd69485]

Looks good. Get some euro headlamps now and you're set. :thumbsup:

SIDEWAYS,



Very nice wheels. Where did you get that lip for the trunk, I like it better than the spoiler. Thanks :beer:

[m3f_Sirius_880bd69485]

That looks like the E39 lip spoiler. It'll fit, but its tight.

It's actually the factory lip spoiler for the E46 M3. I got it cuz it's nice and subtle, yet still offers some functionality (now my back bumper doesn't get covered in dust as quickly)...I never really liked the big bulky (IMO) wing that was offered for the E36s, cuz I felt it took away from the lines of the car.

Let's just say I only have one arm and leg now.~ I got them through my buddy's friend who's a local distributor for WORK wheels. This is the standard finish for WORK rims, high-gloss silver face w/ polished lip.

They're a hell of a lot heavier than my old BBS RCs...but I got these wheels mostly for the bling effect...besides, I have a set of 18" SSR Competition rims (super lightweight) on R-compounds for track duty.
