Pics: BMW M5 style replica wheels in Chrome?

d3l0n · 02-19-2007, 05:22 PM

Does anyone have any pics of the BMW M5 style replica wheels in Chrome? Specifically on an E90?? Curious to see how it looks. I might wanna match the chrome C pillar.

YUCK,

i could find some escalade pics if those will do?

d3l0n · 02-19-2007, 06:37 PM

I'm not into the bling bling

, I am picky with chrome, kinda dont want it but as the C pillar is chrome/silver, I would have liked to make sure it has a decent match with wheels. Just a thought.

have not seen it and I hope your car is NOT the first one I see it on.

I have seen them in chrome before....I was not feeling them. Too reflective!!!

Hypersilver is close enough for matching purposes...well, when they are clean that is.

Here are my hypersilvers

wow... your car looks great with the rims and hyper silver's. You are right, they do look better. I am impressed. I will highly consider these rims. by the way... please feel free to post more pics of your car lol

Thanks bro.

What color car will you be getting...this is for E90 or E93?

This wheels are awesome, they look great when they are clean!! You can get a very good deal for them, since they are replicas. Only caution..they are soft, and damage easily. So, just be careful. I was doing great until 2 weeks ago....damn LA valet drivers. One curb rashed my right rear wheel....going to get it fixed in the next 2 weeks. But at least, they are paying me for it.

Good luck....let us know what you decide to do. And post pics of the final product.

Edit: BTW....MODS: Having a difficult time deciding: [M-Tech or M5 kit (hmm?!)] | [Which 19" rims should I get?] Might depend on the wheels you are going to get. But I prefer the front of the M5 look...but the rear of the Mtech! I just did not like the box-y look of the front of Mtech...you know, the sides of the foglights...too squarish for me. Only downside to M5 fronts...from any vendor, make sure you know exactly what the foglight situation is. No fogs===> error codes!
