What rims to go with? - Page 2 - United Bimmer Community

I really like the Hamann HM2's. Especially if you are set on 18's.

One thing to consider is if you have/will have suspension work done. I just reciently did suspension work and had 17x8.5 SSR GT2's w/ 235 rubber and I have some minor issues w/ rubbing (http://www.unitedbimmer.com/forums/thread2228.html) . If you want big 18's you might have to modify the wheel well.

I really like the look too but I also really wish they had more lip on them...

No, I'll never drop my car... I like how it rides now, and good thing is that I can get HRE wheels BUT out wheels carrier (American Tire Distributors is what it's called) are closed on saturdays, but I have a bad feeling that those HRE's are VERY high dollards ones...

However, he gave me a HUGE catalog to see what I want (aka what we can get relaly quickly and cheap) So we'll see

Ok, here are the rims I like in our many catalogs:

1) ROH MO Modena

Very poor decision IMO. Good suspension is so much cooler than rims. But if not...

Hamann HM2s. IMO the rest of those rims

But then again, it is your car. You will be the only one who has to drive it. If you like some rims than to for it.

The thing is I CANNOT GET WHOLESALE PRICE ON HAMANNS! I can get a hell of a deal on those last 3 rims but not on Hamann's

Allright, this is why I am not a big fan of my dad:

I aksed him today what he thinks between those 3 rims, this is his answer:

"You should sell your car, put your cash together and buy a nicer car"

I was like WTF

^^ I think he means an E46, but F that....

If you really don't want to pay for the HM2s and are having trouble deciding on other rims then save your money for the six months it will take for the SSRs and inbetween now and then do something else to your car (i.e. shark injection, exhaust, anything)

That way you will have the rims you really want, and some other cool stuff for your car.

e36 forever, e46 never!

Well, my decision will depend on the price, but if the ROH Modena's are too expensive I'll go for the parallels

**defkon99** · 07-09-2005, 11:24 PM

easy with the 5 star people what about these bad boys by DPE Engineering http://www.dpengineering.cc/

**Rooz** · 07-10-2005, 01:32 PM

Well, they look good, very similar to style 42 I think..., but the only thing I liked chromed on my rims is the lip....

**Rooz** · 07-10-2005, 01:44 PM

By the way waht is the right lug pattern and offset for our cars?

**xsperf** · 07-10-2005, 03:49 PM
