These are 18" from my BMW 740 which I have not used in 2 years. I was playing around with them to see how they would fit my Camaro,, what do you think. The last picture is how my RS looks like now with the Centerlines.

 

Pic 2

 

pic 3

 

doesnt look bad.... i like the lip

 

Not bad, much better than the Centerlines

 

looks like they were made for the car!

 

yea those look very good....I find it so odd that BMW wheels bolt up on a thirdgen

 

I think the BMW rims look so much better than the other ones, no doubt about it.

 

bmw rims really bolt up without adapters??? by the way yea they look really good much better then the centerlines

 

wow! those look awesome. i didnt know bmw wheels bolt up to thirdgen's...? do they all?

 

Put the fronts on and take a side shot!

 

I really like that. They look much better than what you have now and they are different, which is cool.

 

Wow those look amazing on your car, throw on the front one and snap us some pics I would love to see more and would be intrested in picking up rims like that. Do all beemer rims fit our cars? Love the lip!!!!

I'm with everyone above. They look great, much better than the C-Lines. Take some more pics.

Total bolt on?

 

wow that looks real nice! I say keep the bmws on it! We ned a side shot with all 4 on it.

 

Agreed, I like the look of them myself and I'm also surprised that are a direct fit...

Wouldnt mind seinf a shot with both the front and rear on too!

 

That looks sweet. Gives it like a touring car look.

 

I believe BMW wheels are 5x120, and ours are 5x120.65...So they're not exactly the same

 

Was is it snowing when you took the pics?The beamer rims do look way better i must say.Come to think of it alot of the BMW wheels look good on 3rd gens!

 

Hey they are German, they know what is going on . Those look better then the latest corvette rims imo. They would go better with a diffrent color though I think . A deep dark blue or black.

DAS IST GUT!

 

As you can see it started to snow here and I don't drive my RS during the winter, I was just playing around with it. These rims are 18x10 and the fronts are 18x9. The pic you see was a direct bolt on with a 1 1/4 adapter. They fit like an OJ Simson glove. When the weather clears I'll install the whole set and post some pics.

 

just for a point of reference....


.65mm is about the same amount of change as the distortion you get with a rim when you over-tighten the lug nuts one time.


in other-words, for all practical intents and purposes, they are identical.

 

bolt pattern wise, they'll bolt up.. however one might run into interference with the wheel when putting on the fronts. Check the diameter of the wheel opening for the hub, which may need to be machined out if you plan on running those wheels.

ps.. the bimmer wheel looks good; I say go for it

 

my buddies got a 325 were gonna try each other rims on sometime and take some pics...ill make sure to post lol.

 

The centerlines are at least chrome.

 

What year 7 series is that?

 

its a 97 740i..

 

yea those are sick...

i was going to go with a set of wheels "designed" for a bimmer but they were 19's with a 3 1/2 in dish. for people that are looking for rims need to search for BMW and there are a ton of options.

 

i've found the wheels i want to put on my Iroc coupe....those are sexy

 

90firebird is correct, you need to be careful with the center openning. Ours is albout 2.7" in diameter and sticks out about an inch and a half. You will have to use some type of adapter to clear that. The BMW rim mounted on my RS is with a 1 1/4 adapter. As I mention as soon as the snow clears and it warms up a little I'll put them all on and post pics.

 

Dude they look sweet. I am about to go search the Junkyards and find thoes.

 

good luck on that. those are BMW wheels, they dont end up in junk yards

i already searched ebay and they have brand new sets for $500

 

The 3 series cars (well used to...e36 and such) still needs adapters. They have offsets that match 4thgens and vettes. The bigger brothers, 7 series and I think 5 series have thirdgen offsets.

Years ago I tried a set of BBS LMs from a beemer friends of mine in 18" and they looked sweet but were off a 325i and tucked way too far in. He was getting rid of them for a couple hundred and that was before I knew about spacers.

 

id like to see some iroc wheels on a beamer
but yea man, they look great, i should look at some of the bmw rims since im in the market. are smaller spacers less expensive?

 

TTT for a full side shot!

 

dont like em

 

Did those rims ever come in different finish options, besides racing silver paint ? Gun metal, chrome, polished, black ?

They do look pretty damn tight though.

And let's face it, it's the overall package that does it, some rims may look awesome on a white 91-92 Z28 while others will look better on an early blue Iroc.

 

do you have a pic of the adapter? im still getting around to putting on my 17" bmw spec rims

 

any other dished beemer wheels that anyone found thatll fit on a third gen?

 

Theres a ton...do a search around ebay. Spacers may or may not be needed in some cases but most Bimmer wheels are the same (close enough) bolt pattern.

 

o i meant pictures on a third gen.

 

i used to have a BMW wheels on mine I had to use adaptors to fit them but then I changed'em for 18" IROC chrome ones I like it better with the iroc's but definately don't like it with the center lines I prefer the BMW ones

 

Looks good. Fits the looks of the car very well.

 

I think they look very good, i think BBK, sells a rim with that Design i've always liked the look of the BMW rims
