Hey Guys, My first post =].. i come from bmw-forums.com :eek:
I was wondering if you guys could recommend rims for my
98 e26 318is coupe.. I am looking for some 17's or 18's,
kinda want class over flash.

btw. i'm in Syd Aust so i may not be able to get same model, but i need a few idea's to go searching with.

Thanks for any suggestions :redspot

I like SSR wheels. Either GT1s or GT3s. Light and classy.

I'm more than happy with my O.Z.'s

Ted

pics and links would be helpful fellaz ~?

as i mentioned b4 i'm in Australia so i would be looking for replica's or similar designs..

Thnx

I'm sure you can get some BBS or AC Schnizters in Australia...Those are both classy and not too flashy.

Thnx Dr Bake.. I know we do have BBS rims down here, and i think i've seen a retailer or two that has AC Schnizters..

You guys in the states seem to have an endless amount of retailers and workshops for Bimmer's..
The BMW scene is kinda quiet.. i;ve probably seen more e46 m3's then e36 m3's.

deff go with bbs...there a classic and just enough pimp factor

its all about the pimp factor :D

I know this may be a wierd question, does anyone know if it is possible to buy, lets say BBS rims, and rebadge them with the BMW logo ?

It's actually not a weird question. I thought about doing that when I ordered my BBS RKs. But I think I read somewhere that the BMW caps would not fit on the BBS wheels. Anyway, I kept my BBS caps on. BBS is a well respected wheel so the name on my cap doesn't bother me -- actually it looks pretty good on a black car.

With that said, I also believe I read that you could buy roundel stickers that fit the BBS dust caps. Check with the Bavarian Autosport type shops.

If I am correct..all BMW OEM rims are made by BBS.:dunno

There are many places in the U.S. including the dealers that sell BMW decals for rims. All you need is the size of the center cap.

www.bmpd.com also sells them as well as www.bavauto.com

:D Thanx fellaz
I asked that Q purely coz my father (who helped me pay half of it off for now) is one of those weird types that wants to keep it all OEM looking.

i may go rim shopping now :emo
just gotta wait till that next pay check :alright
