I'm a big fan of a lot of the current bmw alloys - especially the elipsoid ones...
What do people think (don't laugh to much at my photoshop efforts.. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I don't like them, well I didn't before I had to take my eyes out and squash them between two bricks for even looking at that picture <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

To be boring, they wouldn't work as the offset is wrong as bmws are rear wheel drive and the coupe ain't!

I knew they wouldn't fit - just thought they looked nice.
I think i'm in a minority though <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

They're a bit like some of the Alfa GTV wheels (which I don't like) so I think yes, you are in a minority (of 1) <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I quite like them.


At least they are a bit more interesting than the usual 5 spokes every man and his dog seems to put on.... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Sorry but they look really horrible, would rather fit 13inch 3 spokes to it <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Why not try some of the better BMW ones like the new M3 ones, or try the new Audi RS alloys??

IMHO they dont suit the coop.

I think they would look OK if they were larger diameter, with much lower profile tyres, and of course lose the propellor centre caps.
