TE37's in dubs!? Got any pics with the wheels on your ride before you took them off?
Here are couple of pics of how the 20 in TE37's look. And the other two pics are of the volks on 3 series BMW.

Don't feel bad, buying custom wheels is a pain without someone like the tirerack to sort through everything for you. You have to consider, bolt pattern, center bore, offset and what tire size will maintain the overall diameter without going to wide when you +1 your rim size.
I am using my BBS LM's from my 06 M3 on my 545i. To do this properly I needed 15MM spacers and longer bolts for the front and special spacers for the rear that upsize the center bore, again with longer bolts. Took me a while, and some help to figure all this out but I love the wheels and paid what I consider serious money for them.

I just cant wait to finish this project of my, got the grilles, acs lip all around (which needs to be custom fitted since the new 2008 bumper is different), new emblems, roof and trunk spoiler, pillars, need to put everything on and tint everything out, and oh yeah change most of the bulbs to white. Hopefully in two weeks will be done. But still to set the ride off, I need to find some wheels to go with the theme, the 17in are :thumbsdown: . Let me know if anyone knows some hot rims that will fit an xi. thanks
Will post some pics when done to get some feedback soon.
PS. The new 2008 headlights, the angle eyes do not use LEDs anymore to light up the rings, they for some reason started using regular halogen bulbs.
-I got the 7000k white/blue LEDS for the angel eyes if anyone is looking to make a conversion from yellow to 7000k white/blue color, for the what I bought them for $100, $110 shipped.
(they don't fit my headlights)

Very few JDM style wheels work on BMW's, especially Volk/RAYS designs. I don't think they had Euro's in mind in the design process and they just doesn't look right.
You guys crack me up First the "rip on the Skyline because it's inferior" thread, and now Volks aren't good enough for the mighty BMW

I never said Volks aren't good enough for BMW's, I have a set of Works on my E60. So I'm not opposed to JDM wheels on a BMW. But the Volk designs just don't flow on most BMW models IMO. Different strokes for different folks.

Found some nice wheels while browsing the net, and was wondering why I've never seen them on this forum.
Volk Racing GT-S and SF-Winning. They come in many different finish's. What do you guys think?
