[danewilson77]

....getting these as my next set of rims. I would keep the set I have now, as a winter setup.

What do you guys think? I think they would look great with the ambers....not sure though if its a lil too much though....

[Marcus-SanDiego]

When it comes to wheels, I am a huge snob, Dane. I don't like replicas.

Having said that, if you're going to imitate any wheel, then the LM is the one to do it with. It looks good.

[C Withers Media]

Fake wheels are like fake tits to me.

I don't really give a crap as long as they look good on the body.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

I like fake boobs. But then I am not worried about them being on my car -- just in them.

[mimalmo]

Do it Dane.

[Alphatek45]

I don't like em. But I'm ridiculously picky when it comes to wheels... /hides

[C Withers Media]

What is there to be picky about, they are exact replica's of an LM. Unless you just don't like LM's.. Eeeeeeps.

[danewilson77]

I see.....so....Marcus calls them boobs, and Casey calls them tits.....mmmm....very intersting......

So most of the concern is regarding the quality of the build?

Like these much more. Something about the gold center and black hardware looks ghetto to me.
Just my opinion and taste. He asked, I gave.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Here are some pictures of my LMs (on my 335). You can't dislike them. Not possible. Haha.

^ Perfect

[Marcus-SanDiego]

BBS and BMW are like peanut butter and jelly.

[mimalmo]

I need a set of those.

[danewilson77]

Everyone has those!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Everyone has those!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And for good reason. Best ever!

[danewilson77]

lol.........those are quite a bit moar though. Idk....I really do like the BBS though.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

lol.........those are quite a bit moar though. Idk....I really do like the BBS though.

I see them used for about $3200 or so.

[danewilson77]

Ummmmm...ok. Want to float a friend a long term, 0% interest loan for about $1700?....hehe

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Haha.

[danewilson77]

Yeah....they are def worth the money.....but.....the new rims have to fall within my budget for all the other stuff I wanna do with my car....

[mimalmo]

If we could get a wheel sponsor on the site, they might be willing to extend sponsorship level discounts to a few of us.

I'll see what I can do.

[jjcools]

I like gold/bronze wheels but for some reason only on blue or silver cars. Not sure why. I like the wheels you have and I also like the BMW performance mesh wheels.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

My friend has an alpine white E30 with BBS RS in gold. Looks good. He may be painting the car imola red and the gold rims will look even better on that.

[zhpnsnv]

I like the gold on red very much, especially with ambers. One thing I wonder is whether you'd tire of it quickly. While I love to search for pics with red/gold combos, I'm not sure I could live with it day to day.

[Hacauce]

Not bad. I like LM Reps more personally. If you want gold, DTM Euro Spec has them at a really good price.

[danewilson77]

OK...thanks bro......

[Hacauce]

When are you looking to buy a set. want to see some gold on imola :)

[danewilson77]

Prolly.....soon.

[Jon D]

These are the wheels I really want but can't justify for my imola vert

OZ Alleggerita HLT(Anthracite Painted)

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Jon, I fixed the picture in your post.

[Jon D]

Thanks

[Marcus-SanDiego]

No worries. You weren't pointing directly to the jpg. Instead, you were just pointing to the page where the picture was housed.

[danewilson77]

Oz makes a tight lookin wheel. I may hold off a bit....to see if I can get some BBS action...

[Marcus-SanDiego]

I vote for some BBS action.

[danewilson77]

I second that....

[justinwilson77]

Imho, I think the OZ's might be a nice alternative. maybe mix it up a little bit ya know? Either those or BBS just not the gold reps. remember pops, what comes after gold rims is ground effects neon and a huge rear wing. Lol :p

[Marcus-SanDiego]

I thought Dane already had the ground effects neon. No? Dane, this is your next mod!

[justinwilson77]

he's trying to get a wing for the rear abour 2 ft high and 4 ft wide..told me its a toss up between that and purple neon.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

He's a mod junkie.

The wing will get him 5 extra HP. However, the purple neon will yield an additional 10 HP. Therefore, neon all the way.

[danewilson77]

:)N

Are you guys having fun...or what?

Yeah....that's the ninja smiley. Kiinda like the kiss of death around here...

EDIT: Justin......also keep in mind, what happens in the family....stays in the family.

[NDubSki]

Dane, they look good. Photoshop sample?

[danewilson77]

Which....the F14's or the LM reps?

[Bimmerlifestyle]

buy my ssr's dane
see link on sig

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Dane, I second Ernie's suggestion. Those SSRs would do well on your car. Lower unsprung weight, baby. FTW.

[Bimmerlifestyle]

and they are not reps :)

[danewilson77]

Thinkin about it.....

[Bimmerlifestyle]

:applause

[az3579]

Why choose? Do both. Might as well add a VTEC sticker for good measure.

As far as the SSR goes, I think your current Enkei's look better, IMO.

[danewilson77]

Yeah....I think you're right. I also almost rub in the rear right now with ET +42 and 8" rims. His 9.5" ET+27 would kick it out another 1.5"'s....so fender pull would be a must. Not gonna happen.

Or, a spacer delete, or get smaller spacers...
I remember you have spacers. Correct?

[danewilson77]

The above measurements are with no spacers.....

I think I would have to roll and tuck....

[az3579]

I don't think it's worth it, in all honesty.
Perhaps if it was a wheel that you are absolutely set on. Are you hooked on the SSRs?

[danewilson77]

^No....but I <3 Ernie.

[danewilson77]

What is everyones opinion of these?

$599.00...///M6 Reps

http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af278/nicee46/Other%20cars/m65.jpg

[kayger12]

Me likes- especially all the open space to show off those nice new rotors.

[danewilson77]

Yeah...I think they look pretty good. I'm thinking these or F14's....today...hehe

[kayger12]

Don't think you can go wrong either way. Tough choice, though.

[Jon D]

I like the M6 reps. My only thought is to watch the weight. That's why I refinshed cause anything that really lowered the weight was real $$.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

M6 reps beg for bbk. Otherwise, I'd go a different direction.

[danewilson77]

M6 reps weigh 1lb less than the Enkei's. 23lbs vice 24lbs...

http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af278/nicee46/Other%20cars/m65.jpg


I'm thinking F14's instead. Personally not a fan of the way the spokes are designed. Always thought it looked too "anemic" and not badass enough.

[danewilson77]

Ok...the F14's are nice and meaty. I like em better.....the price is pretty amazing on those ///M6's though. I guess for a reason.
