BMW POWER 2 Report post Posted July 20, 2006 It depends on what look you are going for - whether your cars theme is going to be "new age chick racer" or "traditional nice BMW that suits its wheels". Maybe some alpina imitations - eg stilletos? Have you got anything specific in mind? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B*Emz 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2006 "traditional nice BMW that suits its wheels". Pretty much exactly what you said chick, low key style~ Suggestions as I'm as brainless as I am blonde Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30stz 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2006 (edited) charcoal or shadow chrome would go with the rest of the car. Silver look would be adding a new dimension, why not keep the flow. charcoal some of these and you'll have a subtle yet, unique looking compact.

bravo 34 Report post Posted July 20, 2006 Should've bought those Alpina's that sold on Wednesday - $1170. Would have fit perfectly and looked badass. Go get some catalogues of wheels and sit down with Nathan or myself and we'll point you in the right direction. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

B*Emz 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2006 I'm gagging for a set of those plastic chrome spinner hubcap things from the Warehouse! heh Thanks a heap, I'll take a look at the suggested ones and get a catalogue from somewhere! Then hopefully someone can point out what I actually want haha. And fitment? Dear god...... we'll get to that later. Be prepared for a less nanna compact...... Well slightly. Appearance wise. 316 power! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
