nikj 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2007 I would like to get some new rims fr my E36 Coupe but dont want it to look to stupid. Any ideas? Pics would be appreciated too! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yuen 16 Report post Posted October 5, 2007 Those rims don't look too bad to be honest. I wouldn't go bigger than 17"s, they are a good compromise in terms of handling, ride quality and looks, and tyre prices are still pretty decent. Also remember 17" is what they put on the E36 m3. 18" look better but will feel harsher, tyres are pricier. 19"s, just say no. And try to go with lighter wheels if you can.

zenetti 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2007 not really helping guys, if you really want to change the wheels you can't go past a good set of 17's or 18's. Euro style wheels alsways look good but if bling bling is your thing....... go for that instead Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah thought about 17's dont think i would go to 18's as it would look a bit weird. As for colour coding the side skirts...not too sure on that one!

If you're thinking of going with a different kit in the future, just do the suspension first and after you get your kit, paint it. The current wheels look fine.

zenetti 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2007 any panelbeater/car painter should be able to do it, I have had it done from $400 up to $1000 depending on paint type amount needed etc. My old 7 was about $600 from memory. It pays to call around ans prices vary hugely. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
