Hi All,
After discovering that the Hamann + Alutec 19" wheels would require major work to the wheelarches (wrong offset) i decided to get a set of these (with the correct offset of ET20): 
I wasn't sure if i liked them when i put them on but they are growing on me. What do you all think of them ? Miles -------------

Wow nice smooth looks.
I still prefer the 18" M-Parallels, but then I would, wouldn't I? ------------- Kevin '04 E46 330Ci Convertible '08 E61 535d Touring (TorqueMeister Towbarge) ’95 E34 M5 ’89 E30 M3 (Cecotto) |

Very nice choice! They don't clash and make it look like its trying to be something its not... I like it, a lot! Did they just bolt on and no problems whatsoever or was any archwork ect required at all? I'd really like to know! Thanks! -------------

They just bolt straight on without any modifications

You could always buy the wheels and put them on the car when you find one

well having missed the last 3 weeks of posts due to being off shore i thought i would comment on a few :) Miles i can see what looks good about the wheels but theres something niggling in the back of my mind that makes me think something just doesn't look right. They look alot better than some of the attempts people have made of updating the look of the E34 but not making it too modern and this instance is borderline but doable.

For some reason they do look a bit "strange" in the pictures, however they look much better in person. I have even had people in the petrol station commenting on how nice they look

Have to agree with 535isport.
parallels are cool, but your nineteens are pimpin'. i liked the look of them for my motor, even before i saw them on yours but couldnt find them in nineteens. kind of wish id tried harder, because they look totally right on the car. im new to the forum by the way, so hello all. |

Nice wheels Miles. I've just got 19's on my M5 too. Took me ages to decide what to get, but I'm pretty happy with my choice of BBS CH. They were going cheapish, so that always helps. How can I get a picture of them attached to my message? ------------- Jakarta M5 |

You will need to upload your images to a ftp/website server and then link to them in your message. If you don't have any ftp/web space i can upload the pictures to my webserver for you.
