found a set of GTII on a LMB, but it didnt look right... wheel was very small and it was two tone...

I just saw a white E-39 at the SD Autoshow that had gold rims...and I thought (as did the people with me) they looked horrible on the car. However...I think they *could* look good on a LMB or maybe Chiaretto REd.

which wheel was it? do you have photos?

iconoclast · Jan 3, 2008

ill look into it... thanks.

thanks... not sure this is the best car for it. trying to find photos, to see how it looks...

What color is your car?

iconoclast · Jan 3, 2008

jet black.

Might work on JB. I'd hate to spend big $ to find out otherwise though. I just know they looked awful on the white car. A white M5 is pure, understated class. To put those gold rims on it would be like James Bond getting a lip ring.

Gold, star-shaped Speedline wheels were the hallmark of earlier era Ferraris. Basket-weave lace wheels, often in gold, were common on first generation 3 series BMWs. I rather liked the look, especially on Ferraris, but only on certain color cars. They went well with red and black cars. I think they'd color clash on a silver car.

Yep. The wheels I saw were seriously bling, unlike the OP's. So, in answer to the original question: I like the wheels, and they'd probably look great on a JB. Personally, I'd rather see someone else spend the $ to verify that though.

iconoclast · Jan 3, 2008

same here... i dont want to dump ~5k on wheels only to find it out it doesnt look right...

iconoclast · Jan 3, 2008

extremely crude edit however just for ideas:

Yikes!

oohhh: Don't like them, personally.

iconoclast · Jan 3, 2008

iconoclast · Jan 4, 2008

in the edited photo i do not care for it either, but i do like it on the m3...

SoCalJD · Jan 4, 2008

Exactly! Weird how they can look so good on an M3 and so crappy on an M5.:dunno:

iconoclast · Jan 4, 2008

alright another crappy edit:

how about there???

SoCalJD · Jan 4, 2008

Better, but...nah. Save your $.

Laidback · Jan 4, 2008

I like it (the last pic with the gold centers and brushed lip) and opt for the red center caps:cheers:

THis is why Baskin Robbins makes 31 flavors I guess. To me, it looks like the car has big old white-wall tires.

iconoclast · Jan 4, 2008

i would stick with the black center cap... and get black bbk.

BMWMPWR · Jan 4, 2008

Not an e39 but here is a blue e46 with gold wheels that looks fantastic....

BMWMPWR · Jan 4, 2008

one more

Found pics in my archives of a white e46 with gold....

BMWMPWR · Jan 4, 2008

Sorry (for triple posts and another NON e39 with gold)

this time (small) but white e60

iconoclast · Jan 4, 2008

if i had an e46 m3, it would already be on there... im sold on the idea and look of it on an m3... just on the fence about m5...

BMWMPWR · Jan 4, 2008

I hear ya on that one....

Perhaps its the additional doors that make it not so appealing or maybe, not as sexy. Not that 4 doors is bad

iconoclast · Jan 4, 2008

i think thats exactly it, coupled with the fender flares... it doesnt looks sporty or aggressive enough. so possibly might be 'too much'.

iconoclast · Jan 4, 2008

iconoclast · Jan 4, 2008

i want to buy these wheels badly, however i have no idea what they are where to buy them from... could anyone here ID this wheel??? c'mon one of you wheel gurus have to know this one:

sunny///M5 · Jan 5, 2008

This is definitly the DYNATECH M1

I can´t find a homepage - but here you will see I´m right:

and again:

iconoclast · Jan 5, 2008

i wouldnt go that wide... no stretch poke here... ideally 10.5 rear with a 9.5 front.

Laidback · Jan 5, 2008

I'm not 100 % but close... http://www.rh-wheels.com/index.cfm?P=wheels_detail&PID=114066

iconoclast · Jan 5, 2008

nah, it shares a similar spoke pattern with the bbs rxII however it has stepped lip instead of a soft lip... a friend of mine told me they were centerline/dynatech. but cant find anything under those items...

BBS LM-R is a close match too:

option 2:

any thoughts on this???

has anyone seen on any car BBS CH in bronze or gold???

SoCalJD · Jan 5, 2008

>>>>

Personally, I REALLY like (so much so that, if I had wheel $ to blow, I'd get them)the one BBS here (BIG pic, no gold, RX 513?). I *think* I was just looking at these at AGA yesterday, but they had a BMW center hub. Either way, very nice. MUch nicer, IMHO, than the 5-spoke thing in your next post.

Laidback · Jan 5, 2008

Option 2 (first pic) is nice...if you can get them ( these are very limited )...last pick is ugly ( sorry jmho) unless you get the Original Hamman PG series...
