Wheels Question - Deep Dished - United Bimmer Community

**bmwISCoupe** · 11-05-2006, 05:08 PM

Hello this is my 1st post on this forum, i am in the process of buying a 318is Coupe and i wanted to fit some nice wheels to it.

I have made the decision to buy some deep dish alloys however i am really unsure of the brand names that specialise in Deep dish style alloys. The only one i know is 'Brock'.

Hope someone can give me a hand with this, cheers

Mike

i was gonna ask if it was an e30 or 36 too, but he put it in the 36 forum. but we still need a lot more info.

one of the easiest ways is to go to tirerack.com and input all of your cars specs. depending on how much money you have depends on the quality of wheel you get. i have seen people with rolled fenders run 255's un the rear which were probably mounted on a 9 or 9.5 inch wide wheel. i wouldnt go much wider than that...

**bmwISCoupe** · 11-06-2006, 04:01 PM

ok i will check out tirerack.com and see what comes up. Will keep you posted on any wheels i like...

Has anyone on this forum fitted deep dish alloys on their e36 and do you have photos?

What brands are best known for their deep dished alloy selection?

**BaLAnCe17** · 11-06-2006, 06:23 PM

usually every company has the offset and width you need. its is about finding the wheels you like and how much money you have to spend... deep dish for e36 bmw would be a 9 or 9+inch wide wheel

**bmwISCoupe** · 11-07-2006, 01:41 AM

oh right i see, so if i get a 9inch or 9plus wide wheel they can give the deep dish effect...thanks for that!

now i'll go and make a choice of wheels i like!

thanks again

Mike

**bmwISCoupe** · 11-08-2006, 01:40 AM

Hello there ive seen these wheels and love them, i wonder if they'd look good on a E36 is coupe? What do you think? Will they give that Euro look?

Heres the rims i have on my car: There 17" ASA AR1's with a 1" lip in the front and a 1.5" lip in the rear. The fronts are 8" wide and the rears are either 8.5" or 9" (cant remmber, will measure)
