Wheels

[el fayce]

I tried looking a thread for posting your favorite wheels and I couldn't find one. So here's a thread for exactly that.

Desmond Regamasters

and Amemiya AW7s (front wheels).

The problem with rims is that whether or not they look good depends on which car they're on. I don't think it's right to evaluate whether the rims look good by themselves, they have to be matched with a car. I almost never like aftermarket rims better than stock, so for me, the best entries in this thread will be stock rims that went perfectly with the car they were mated to.

I really like these on my 330i (this isn't mine). I just love the look of these rims compared to all of the others that came on the E46 (including the M3):

As folks know from my other thread about my car, I love the late model year NSX rims as well:

I also really think these are cool:

 

[Tornado]

I honestly like just about anything in the "1995-2005 BMW OEM" vein.

[Heldenzeit]

RS Watanabe R-Types of course.

Also:

Why I went looking for factory wheels first for my car. There are some aftermarket options that look good on a DC5, but none of them work as well with the body as the stock '05-'06 RSX Type-S 17s...

Spoiler

stickers aren't stock, lol

Enkei RPF1 is a wheel I feel is almost universal, like the Desmond Regamaster Evo posted above. It just fits so many body styles...

Spoiler

Nismo LM4 takes a certain body style, but when you've got that, they kill...

Spoiler

Work VS-XX. These tend to better suit boxier cars, but every now and then they border on universal...

Some of my favourites are the wheels from the Miura:

And the Alfa Romeo RZ:

Also:

They're used interchangeably without confusion.

I'm absolute Ken Block trash so of course my favourite wheel is the Fifteen52 Turbomac.

Also available for trucks too!

You owned a 320si, that's awesome. How was it?

 

[GTRacer22]

How can you not love the BBS RS?

​

The BBS E50 Flat is also a nice wheel.

​

The SSR Formula Mesh is another personal favorite.

 

[Heldenzeit]

I suppose. "Rims" has always sounded lame to me. "Dem rimz doe, fam".

You owned a 320si, that's awesome. How was it?

Brilliant to drive. The engine was fantastic - not massively powerful, but it made a great noise and was really keen to rev. The gear ratios were quite tightly spaced, so it made the most of the power it had. It had loads of grip and felt really tied down to the road. It also had a carbon fibre cam cover, which was ridiculously awesome.

Like most BMWs, though, the steering wheel rim was stupidly thick, and aside from the wheels it looked just like an average diesel 3 Series. I lost it in a car park once. Also, during the year or so that I owned it it failed to start more times than my Peugeot 205, which had ("had" because it's fixed now) dodgy 25 year-old wiring as an excuse.

Anyhoo, here's another wheel I like:

Obligatory TE37:

[Heldenzeit]

Big Cromodoras.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Want some of these on my car, if I were to modify it.

Work Emotion CR Kai

Also, any modern day sports/exotic car should have HRE's. Mainly, the P101's.

And P104:

 

[LivingWithGames]

There's many I like that would ramble about but I have one exaple. O.Z. Superturismo. Found on this Mini here. Not the best angle but looks good to me.

Then I found on this Audi here. Damn, good combo here.

 

[lxmmy]

BBS FI-R

TE37 Ultra

Advan GT

Volk ZE40

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

Speedline 3.6

BBS CH

I agree with the BMW 1995-2005ish. Just about every design they made in that period was stunning.

 

[-Fred-]

Ah yes, the FI-R, so much better than the HRE P101 that looks so similar you'd think they're copying it.

 

[ScottPuss20]

The same wheels are on my dad's Commy wagon and they look brilliant.
