    M-pars are huge. 18s in general look nice and big. Stick with 17s if you want a more performance-oriented car.

    those do look really good on your car, are those the staggered?

    to OP i'd just throw some bbs rc, style 5's, or any oem m3 rim on.
    i believe you posted in my thread as well, i'm doing the same as you, just trying to keep it simple and clean..

    like the BBS Rc but pricey, hard to find oem in good condition,
    people treat them like cap :/

    Nice wheels, it only cost me $345 to get them powder coated. The bolts, caps and tires were the expensive part.

    why would anyone choose reps as a "best wheel"?

    style 5's are a staple for sure
    csl's look great on e36's
    m-pars pretty much look great on everything
    borbet type A's (sort of hit and miss with people, but I love em)
    oz mitos and futuras
    style 32's from the e39's

    It really doesn't matter if they're like bbs's, if you like the way they look, then I'd go for it. Those would look sick on a lowered car, I wish I could have found a set like that when I was looking for rims

    ^ style 5's, if you can find them in 18'' then your lucky, i believe there are a set somewhere in the wheels/tires fs section.

    yea thats a very good price, if they are on an e36 they will ft fine, but if they are coming off of an e39 you will need to pick up some hub centric rings for it sizes:74mm outside to 72.56mm inside. let us know if you pick them up, i can show you where to get the centric rings from and what size tires you'll probably need to run( will need to know what your suspension setup is)
