I just got my new wheels, I still need to paint them black, but check'm out anyway.

What do you think?

Looks really nice man. Is the headlight off for extra air intake? Ive always wondered why people do that.

Oh bah! I knew it wasn't quite a E28, but oh well, it's still hot.

They do look very good but I kinda liked the style 32s more since I've already seen them on the car. otherwise still looks awesome!

looks good but I must say I liked the OEM style 32 in black better or any Alpina style. Car is amazing either way.

Any more pics of the IS in the background?

T-Stars or Style 32s for sure.

I personally would only paint the centers on the T-Stars ;)

It's an E12, predecessor to the E28.

Great looking car. I like the 32's.. but I'm sure once you paint the t-stars.. I will be pursuaded.

It should look rediculous with black t-stars!

Brent, you are a total wheel whore. :D You know my opinion about wheels larger than a 16" on an E12, but I did really like the huge RX II's you had before (but wished they were smaller).

You have no idea, I think I need therapy, I likedthe bbs's best sofar also, but I get board and need change.

I don't like looking at my car for more than a month or so with the same wheels on it!

BTW I love your e12:buttrock


Any one want to trade for an e34, 540/6, ///M5, or touring ?

EDIT: oops, its 268.. I didn't look at it before I changed my sig.

bkbunrout- That's a b35 isnt it.. I really like what you've done with it, the line between original and tacky is fine, but you have nailed it with that car. Perfect two-tone (not sold on the hood though). You really can't beat a nicely done e12 or e28. I would seriously consider trading cars with you.. But why?

Its a 533i block that is bored out to 3.5ish, 10 to 1 forged pistons, ported and polished, fully balanced and blue printed, schrick 282 cam, m5 light flywheel and 265 5-speed, 364 40% lsd, it moves out pretty well!

I have reciepts for almost $30k into the car, and wouldn't sell it for less than $15k!

I like your car, but I really want a black or white ///M5 or 540/6
