Here's mine with BBS 18x8 LM's. Not much lip there, I might get a set of Superleggra III just to get some lip.

newb here, great board. interested in the 530xi - anyone have pics of their 530xi? also, anyone order their 530xi with the Style 89 18 inch wheel or any other 18 inch wheel? Curious to see if the 18 inch wheels will help to decrease the wheel well gap in the 530xi, or whether the car looks slightly raised even with the 18 inch wheels. Thanks.

I think some 18's, specifically BBS RGR Black Diamonds, are pictured on this thread. Incidentally, I think 19's are the best choice. I ended up with the BMW style 101's. Check them out using the "Mind Candy" gallery photos link in my sig if you are interested.

thanks for the links, but i already saw both threads. IMHO, the 19" look too big for the car, they look like they jut out from the wells, thus, my request for info/pics re: 18 inch rims. the thread with the pics with SP530xi's pics...to be honest, that set up does not do it for me, the rims look too small and the treads too big.

this goes back to the offset discission on the xi's. if you put the standard offset rims on an xi they will stack out. do a search on this site for info on correct rims. das has pictures of this on his car. the 19's look great but do stick out in front.
