Re: show me your aftermarket rims
Yes, only you do need a hub centric adapter ring. Bimmer wheels are 5 on 120mm, 5 on 4.75" is 5 on 20.65mm so that's .325mm difference for each stud, negligible. 5 series bimmers use an ET of around 20 so they are a bolt on deal.
What sizes are they?

Re: show me your aftermarket rims
I have a 87 GTA(org gold rims), I would like to take them off and get bigger rims, something like 17's. There is alot of chrome and polished alum out there, but nothing like that suits a GTA. Has any one seen aftermarket rims that are nice and gold coloured???
Thankx, Paul.

Re: show me your aftermarket rims
While the gold does look good on gta's. Gold is too ol' school for me I prefer black, the gold reminds me of lowrider rims. Either the black gta style rims or a newer style black rim. What color is your car?

Re: show me your aftermarket rims
Me? I have 19s all around, my buddy has 18s....I was thinking about swapping to 18s on the front and get a complete set of 18s so I could stick the 2 spare 18s and 2 spare 19s on the 88....but I changed my mind. 19s look great.

Re: show me your aftermarket rims
Thank you for that pic!!!
The body shop I work at has a wheel repair business and I saw a set of these rims sitting on the rack and wondered what they would look like on my car...
and my car is an '88 with extremely nuked medium grey paint, so now I can see what my car looks like painted!!
