Ruff 278 vs. HPR5 Help!!

Please help me decide on wheels!! Im stuck between the Ruff 278 in chrome or the HPR5 in hyper silver. If the HPR5 came in chrome, there would be no contest so vote away!!

BTW, I will be going with 19" sizes.

Well the HPR5's are going to look like a Privat Profil which a lot of members use so im not sure how you can call that ricer. However IMO chrome will only look good on a few colors so it really depends on the color of your car. I also believe for those Ruff's to look real good, you will be to get/be lowered

I think the Ruffs would look cooler on your car. I dont like the gunmetal/silver color a smuch on red cars. More on a black/NBM or pewter car. I like chrome and black on red cars. I say go with the Ruffs and negative ghostrider on them being rice.

.

I have the BMR springs but they are not installed yet. Im going to install them with the new wheels so that I can have the car properly aligned with the new wheel and tire combo.

BMW uses the 5x120 bolt pattern and the 35mm offset which also works on our cars. With a 35mm offset your going to want staggard sizes though. 9.5" wide in the rear and 8.5" wide up front.
