Default Bmw M5s

Just wondering what you guys think of this

i happened across a set of 4 bmw m5 rims for free, grabbed up some tires for 20 bucks and mounted em at work.

The rims came with some shot tires so i threw em on and did a burnout to get rid of em, and snapped these pics in the process. Sorry they arent any better.





the m5 rims fit fine on all 4 corners. They are 18x8.5

I have stock Ta 16s in gunmetal



Silver zr1s 17x9s i usually ride on the street



and chrome 02 ws6 17s 9 and 11 that i have track tires on.



i was gonna run these on the street but im not sure i like the way they look, im just tired of my zr1s

Usually when you ask for opinions it means you really dont want to do it, but i wanted to post up anyways because i searched and saw tons of threads on bmw's lug pattern being close to ours, but no actual pics of oem bimmer wheels on a f-body

some bmw wheels do look nice. those are not good looking wheels at all. but i'd mash on these since you have them already. definitely would spend money on new tires for them.

I think they look good. I think they are the nicest of those four wheel choices by far. I would just have them painted or powdercoated, though, because obviously you don't want a BMW logo showing on your GM. I think if you had them painted gloss black it would look VERY good.

Need some better side pics.... but I think they look pretty good, actually. Better then the other options, IMO.

I'm sure that those are BBS wheels. I like the look, but they would really look sweet powdered coated glossy black! BBS makes some high quality wheels.

you got them for free, so sell them to some beemer owner who wants different wheels than they got stock.....can you say.....100% profit?

then you can take that money and buy the wheels you really want, or at least put that money towards the wheels you really want.

or you can keep your ZR-1's and buy some go-fast parts to take your mind off of how bored you are with the ZR-1's.
