Opinions please

Always liked the Parallel "James Bond" wheels to photoshopped them on an E90 (I know, not the best quality but I'm a noob).

Anyway, interested in opinions about these wheels on an E90.

Thanks.

i actually had those on my sg e90 when i got flat tires so i swapped them for the parallel rims for a week and it didnt look to bad

not feeling the rims..

Amir87 · 11-09-2008, 02:45 PM

I think they would look good. Go for it!

SixDegrees · 11-09-2008, 03:44 PM

Maybe its the size, but not feeling it either....... think it might work with 7 spokes, but the 5s look a bit 'basic'... if you get bwhat I mean!

Looks a little too AMG-ish. Are they the AC Schnitzer Type 3 2-piece?

chanceparker · 11-09-2008, 05:01 PM

No, the are BMW OEM wheels from about 3 years ago for 5 and 7 series. Sometimes referred to as the James Bond wheels.

Alpine white e90's just yearn for black wheels... make all of us who weren't smart enough to get AW proud and throw some Matte or Hyper black CSL's on that badboy.

chanceparker · 11-09-2008, 08:27 PM

Ha, it's not even my car, just some nice pics I found to play photoshop with. My car is sparkling graphite.

And I just don't get the black wheel look...must be too old.

I335 · 11-09-2008, 08:37 PM

They'd look fine, as long as they're not black.

UdubBadger · 11-09-2008, 08:39 PM

no worries... i think it really only looks the best on AW anyway (not bad on jet black if you like the batmobile look).

I think the wheels youre looking at are a little too 1998 though.

how bout some m6 reps?

I have an alpine white and would never put black wheels on. I dont like the way they look on bmw's. You cant see any of the details on the wheel and at night just looks so blank. just not for me. as for the op those wheels are gorgeous just not right for the e90.
