Need car help, anyone that knows about wheels.

I'm looking to get some aftermarket rims for my 01' 325i. Here's a pic of some that I'm interested in-

They're 19" so I doubt they'll clear on my car. What kind of alterations would I have to make and how much would it cost to have these fit? Let me know what you think of the rims also. Thanks.

I don't know much about 'wheels' and shit... but I'd never notice those on a car and say 'oh shit... look at dem pimp rims.'

Either it's not my dig, or those rims suck.

why dont you ask the guy that is selling the rims? he has got the same ride as...

I agree crazier. But 1900 dollars is pretty cheap. Anyways, I'm not going to get them. Gonna keep looking around.


TPC-
If I asked the seller he'd probably tell me everything I wanted to hear just so I'd buy the damn things. And me, knowing nothing about cars, would fall for it.

Yeah. And there is a reason they are $1900.

No offense bro... I mean, shit... if you like them, that's all that matters. Not like I'll ever see the damn things.

They're ok. Just something about them that makes them look strange. They're complex but still look drab. Here's the ones I really want. I just can't find any place that sells the damn things in 18". 19's are too big.

Much nicer.

Don't know if you have, or want to spend the extra $700 for them though.

Trust me bro... I can relate!

Yeah, 1900 is actually a great price. 19's are really expensive, and they're deep dish, you know like a pizza. That's what people these days look for. I know a good deal about cars, and i'll tell you right now, those rims are really pimp.

19's will fit on a 325.
Just my personal taste, but I think a BMW needs a nice 5 spoke to look right.

Try Hamman or Dronell, excellent wheels that look great on the BMW. They are on the expensive side, but hey, you drive a BMW....a pricey car deserves pricey wheels.

Also look at SSR wheels....excellent quality and looks.

If you want a quality wheel for $1500 or less, go with the Moda R6....it looks great, is well made, and inexpensive.

I think the 5 spokes are overdone. I'm 90% sure I'm driving over to Cali tomorrow and purchasing these in chrome-

Now the only question is whether I should lower it and how the hell do you lower it. Will sport springs suffice or do I have to go with coilovers?
