Those look like a rad option. It says they aren't hubcentric... You think the center bore is the same? You're right... they would look rad with the RD's.
Sheeot... I just noticed the estimated ship date 07.24.07.
i only know that the lug pattern is the same the rest i am not sure about. but kerian would probly know and might know i place you can get them faster. and the polished ones summit sells are instock but would not look so good.

Yes, I believe so. I've seen my same wheels on e32's. and they looked rad. The thing is... nobody makes 17's anymore for any of these cars. And if they do... they are radical pizza cutter 7 or 7.5" wide.
It looks like I'm a 17" wheel living in an 18" world.

Good point. I hit CCW with an e-mail. We'll see what dey says too.
If you get the CCW's, don't go with black centers. For some reason, all the black centers I've seen come from CCW turn brown in a short period of time. Have them taken else where to powercoat them.

RAWK!!! Just let me know. I've sent out a bunch of e-mails, so I'm waiting to hear back from folks as well.

I think the e32 wheels would... I had been talking to a guy at Racing Dynamics here in the US trying to hunt down more of those wheels. He said "Sorry, that wheel was designed in the late 80's to fit the 5 Series and 7 Series back then; we don't have anything comparable now".

Thanks for the heads up. I have awesome ideas rolling around in my head about that. Bwahaha.

No problem, my friend runs them (black centers on polished lip) on his black FD and they looks fucking sweet. His turn brown is less than a year. I don't recall if he powder coated of painted them, but they look 10x better than from CCW.
