Looking forward to seeing how they look on your car man. Had I kept the Evo, the P45Rs were going on it.

FAIL!!

IMO putting rota's on a BMW is like putting sportmax's on a Supra or 300zx.

If you have a high end sports car,then why not have a high end sport car rim?

BTW, the BMW's are 5x130mm bolt pattern - tough to find used wheels for them.

SOO,by being cheap with rim selection it means you can buy a 20,000 car??
Maybe you should have bought the car,drove it around until you could budget some rims that fit the car.You know,some people do keep their cars and fix them up,not everything has to be done at the same time.IMO buying a BMW and putting ROTAs on it is like buying a ring that is made of crystal....BUT IT LOOKS LIKE DIAMONDS!

sounds like you could have bought some nice rims and waited.

Wrong reason, what you meant to say is "my kredik iz really guud". I paid $1600 for my LM-GT2's......what would they add up to, like 2 car payments on your high end car

Some people are more into the engine mods than the looks?
