I reckon you should hang on for the wheels you want.... you'll only regret it otherwise! I saw an E36 saloon on schnitzers last weekend... looked really well. Get the four new tyres for the NCT and keep the old wheels and tyres for track days! My 2c! -------------

Mrs D's new car has these on and personally I think they are the best looking e46 wheels. They do transfer well to e36's, appearance-wise as well. You might just want to watch the clearance at the front if you've dropped the car significantly. ------------- Now: BMW 523i SE '00, 318i SE - e91 '07, 325i Coupe '93.

i agree with waiting for the wheel that you want.wheels are a big part of how the car looks and theres no point in settling for something that you dont really want just because they`re a bargain. if i settled for a bargain rather than what i wanted id be driving a fiat cinquecento.(which are great little cars i might add) ------------- bmw 323i tc baur(1985)bmw635csi man/lsd(1980) |

i am kinda leaning that way as well. it's not like these wheels are a bargain either. i do like them but i would love to know what they would look like on the car. i feel they may be a little pedestrian for my tastes. of course, i could see them on the car and think Phwoar! At the same time i'm worried that some of my first choice wheels might look a little in-your-face. i'm becoming far too philosophical about this car. ------------- gas brake honk. gas brake honk. honk honk punch. gas gas gas '92 E36 325i saloon |
