Hi there! In my honest opinion, I would have to say ROH makes the best looking rims for our cars. If they are going on your red T/A, May i suggest the "snyper" style ROH's. That would look really sharp!

Also, I think I'm ready to order the 4th Gen spoiler for my T/A. You will have to give me a discount for my advise on the rims O.K.

See ya!

Jordan!

If Dan Jachera still has my old wheels those would definately be VERY original not to mention BADASP on your car with the 4th gen spoiler and hood . They are Breyton Inspiration wheels which is a BMW tuner wheel . Yes they fit , they were bolted on my car . He couldnt use them because of aftermarket larger studs . The size is 18x8.5 , using Kumho tires u could pull this off cheaper than buying a pricier set of 17's
Here they are:

If interested , go here and page Dan Jachera in the anything goes forum .

The folks at JDWHEELS know what you need for your thirdgen. The wheels will be the same front and back so you can rotate them.

or you could go with 17x8 up front and 17x9 in back.

and they do know the correct backspacing.
