Pm me if you like, i can get 3 style of wheels for $800 brand new in 19x8.5 or 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear ( depends on what wheel tho)

Second picture is also in gunmetal grey which would suite your car a sh*t load!

Add a picture of a set i had on my e36 few years back.

Those Schnitzels have gone up in price! Was considering them for mum's E46 when they were $600 and even then I thought they were still too pricey for 16"s.

this will piss people off:

Dish = New Chrome

I agree mate. It became a fad a while back.

Everything becomes a fad though?

Dish is still good, and will be for awhile (see sick wheels thread), but looks way better if you still have some tyre - ie looks good on about 1-2 sizes down from the max size you can run for a particular car.

I like the motorsport m3 rims brook.

I prefer the type IV AcS wheels to the Type III's. Will was running them on his e36 cabby and they are sex.

I dunno....they're extremely busy looking wheels. Lots of holes and angles that don't seem to serve a purpose? :huh:

I had 18x8 tsw mondello's on my e36 with 235x40x18 all round on standard suspension and had guard rub with the right offset - handled well though! I have since then gone to 17x8.5 hamann wheels with 225x45x17 front and 245x40x17 back staggered tyres and it feels like another car, handling is awesome!! i'd go with a nice set of clean looking 17's ftw!

Those with Dished rims please stand up... hehe

then again i wasn't a fan of the polished lip either... all too showy for me...

I'm a plain simple person...

1st one in the above

Gutted over those BBS wheels! I bought them for $300 with tyres of TM, then when i had them spun up and balanced, 3 of the 4 were badly buckled which made for a rough unstable ride, so gave them back to the guy! Prob 1 of, if not the best looking wheel i've had on the e36!

...lesson to be learnt! If it looks too good to be true it normally is!!

Sorry dude - i think you misunderstood my statement. It was in responce to Ari Gold and his statement "When I start seeing big lips on every corner except hunters' , I'll agree with you" - I was simply putting it out there that there is alot of people with dished rim's. 

And if you want dished rims, black centers with polished lips, stretched rubber etc... you're more than welcome to them - as this was an opinions thread i was stating my opinions, if that differs from yours thats kool, didn't mean to offend.

I would go for some replica E46 M3 wheels. There is one around Papakura and it looks absolutely perfect, they sit how wheels should and they suit a dark coloured pre facelift E36 really well.

They would be 18x8.

Perfect.
