Hi all, I'm purchasing new tires for my car and will also be purchasing snows for this winter, so I'm gonna need some rims to put them on. Here is what I'm looking for:

-17" Square OEM wheels
-Please no style 44 (Barfs in mouth) - No offense to anybody who has them :shifty
-Cost Effective: don't need to be in perfect shape, I'd just prefer to have them not be totally shitted and have the price reflect their condition.

Location: Massachusetts. Will consider paying for shipping if it's less expensive than traveling yet keeps the cost low.

I'm keeping my eyes peeled on e46f but if you come across anything or have wheels you might want to get rid of, you know where to post it!


Style 68 would be ideal - kinda like 73s too.

For 7k you can have the whole car too... free shipping. :hi

For cereal though, if you want to see if my 16" OEM steelies fit you can borrow them if you don't find anything.

No mercy: appreciate the offer, id prefer to go square but if nothing works out ill consider!

Evan: i think 16" is the smallest thatll fit over the brakes. Ill keep this in mind although i couldnt be seen leaving the house with steelies :shifty

Tony: this could work out. I wonder what my car would look like with 73s. Got any pics?

Just in case you didn't see the difference between style 45 and style 44... The style 44s are much nicer. Style 45 is the OEM 16" on 325's, Style 44 is the ZSP wheel on prefacelifts.

ohhhh! huh. thanks for the edumication. I've never looked into what 45s were before, those are really worth the *barf* - i must admit the 44s arent terrible if you see them next to the 45s. Still, not really my style.
