BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

Thought you guys would like some you won't. I just put a set of BMW wheels on my camaro I got for free. wrapped in KUMHO 245/40/18's. Painting the center caps with the same color paint and have camaro centers for them.

Yes they bolt on with no mods. I thought this was friggin crazy. I heard they fit but i thought it was for the front wheel drive offset on the 93-newer

Let me know what you think, Like it or Not. but please no bad mouthing just a yey or ney

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

Nay. But only because I think the only replacement for stock-looking wheels are Torq-Thrusts. If you like them, by all means keep them. They probably look great to you because they were free. :thumbsup: :burnout:

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

Looks good man. Now to clean them up and let em shine..:driving:

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

What year and model BMW did they come from? There's some pretty nice looking M-style knock-off wheels on Ebay now and then, and I've always loved a BBS style wheel on a 3rd gen. Something like what came on the older M5's would look pretty sweet IMO.

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

Yes.........I like 'em. Good choice

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

I'd rock those. good job

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

i on the fence. I dont think they match the car, but they dont look bad either

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

:thumbsup:

:burnout:

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

they might look good on a car with decent paint. when is the paint job comming?

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

I thought you needed adapters spacers like when running 4th gen wheels? What's the BS on those BMW wheels?

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

Not too bad, I just think they're too flat.

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

I thought the same on them but there the same width and offset. Not sure why but they fit in the wells like they were made for them. They are M3 wheels but not sure what model or year. i just got the center caps painted the same color so they didnt say BMW.
As far as paint goes i dont want to the car is actuall for sale. I want 2,200 woth wheels or 1,900 without. Im putting iroc wheels back on it. I already have enough projects. But it has a rebuile motor about 25k on it. and the body only has 156k. So if any one is interested. But yes the wheels do look good IMO.
anyone else running them

ALSO ther is not shinning up these wheels they are gun metal

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

i like them alot if i could get a pair id use em, dang nice job!

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

I think they look pretty darned good for free.. not jaw dropping, but good.

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

i really like

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

I think it looks sweeeeet! especially knowing you got them for free :D

lucky you :lol:

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

I just got a set of 645i 18x8s for my 81 Camaro, I can't wait to get them mounted up!

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

I like em. They kinda remind me of the the new ZR1 wheels.

NICE!

Join the club. I was told these were modified to fit third gens, so i never knew for sure. Guess you dont need to mod them after all.

The difference is 5x120mm (BMW) and 5x120.7mm(GM)

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

These wheels appear to be a non-factory set from the front of an E39 M5.(99-03) BMW dimensions are 18x8 +20 offset for the front. A truly beautiful wheel especially when combined with its 18x9.5 +22 original rear...:cool:

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

Now those are nice.
Good looking either way.
There's lots of other neat bmw wheels out there too.

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

doesnt look bad at all, i think they would stand out a little more if the car was lowered maybe 1"-1.5"

if you can, a nice polish would also do wonders

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

interesting...I have seen 15X7 Z28 rims on a 5 or 7 series before...odd way to go..but they fit

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

i think those could look awesome on the right car.... i will definetly be lookin for a set

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

Hmmm.. Well they look fair with your camaro. Do they really fit in or do you feel any difference during driving?

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

i know quoting ebay is lame, but id like to see what these would look like on a camaro

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

those are a nice set up i would put on mine, just black though:nod:

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

someone should definitely shop those in for me :)

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

you have a PM.

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

I just got these installed and they fit nicely with just a little hammering in one specific part in the inside of the rear well. Longer studs are definitely on my plans too. The fronts are going in tomorrow and I read I'd be fine with a spacer. Can't wait :nod: I'm going to get the spokes powder coated or painted gold and get a center with either the factory WS6 logo and lettering or a Firebird. Mine are Breyton Magic Racing in 18x9.5!

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

Pics?

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

Those Breytons, are they +25 ET? Do you have 9.5s all round? Those are German wheels I think, at least they are easily available here (Europe)

I was thinking about these (photoshop), they are bimmer wheels too.

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

those look like 19-20" in the photochop.

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

I just sized them to roughly look like 19s. I'm looking for 19s as 20s are too large.

This is the 91 GTA w/ 20s, a little too large IMO and the fronts rub.

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

those really make them brakes look tiny. heh. id stick with 18s personally. but its not my car.

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

Yup, those brakes are going to come off, they don't brake worth a crap either. The 87 Iroc has the same system (4 wheel discs) and they fade like a m-f-er on the twisting roads here.

I've got 18" intro pentias on my 77 vette, maybe I should remove 2 of them and see how they look size wise....

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

In the words of Mcdonalds...

I'M LOVin IT


I have been keeping an eye out for a good replacement for my gta's and I believe these (blackened) are it (bmw's)

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

Not yet. I'll post them as soon as I can.

Yes, they make wheels and parts for BMWs.

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

I think those whels are sweet. I tink they would look even better on a bird. People look at me crazy when I mention BMW wheels, but sometimes you can score them for cheap, and a lot of them look sweet!

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

Totally agree.

But I also think a stock wheel should never be used as an aftermarket for another car, even ZO6 wheels, even bmw wheels

I hate the look of a stock wheel (from another car) being used as an aftermarket on our third gens. Just doesnt suite me well. Plus its what the poor kids and gangster white boi's around my area do, to look like they bought new wheels...but just took them from another stock car.

EXAMPLE, not factful:Thats like, lets say I can buy an ls manifold from a corvette which flows better than camaro's, why not just buy the aftermarket one for the corvette instead of the stock corvette manifold and use it as an aftermarket

It just bothers me and Im not sure why. Maybe its the same when people totally repaint their whole car, stock colors...just seems pointless and unoriginal. As if they couldnt think of anything more imaginable than what was used originally.

Now I understand restoring a car, now thats different, but going for aftermarket and picking up stock parts from other cars seems pointless...no matter how free it is.

Sorry about my rant, but it had to be said...the wheels look great, but on BMW's, its the reason they came on those cars and not ours...anyway. Enjoy the wheels and if you ever go for something more muscular than Beemer wheels, post up.

PLUS, they arent even dished..

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

i like them that is for sure

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

Fantastic info...
Thank you!

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

Not BMW but a lot of people seem to like the mesh style rims, here is a 91-92 Formula with a set.

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

Yes... what are those, I need something lil bigger then my gta's....

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

I really like them!

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

I got the fronts today and they look like they are 18x8 while the rears are 18x19.5

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
 

:eek: :eek: :eek: What size tires are you gonna run? :lmao:

Re: BMW wheels on CAMARO, SWEET
