Abix wants to steer clear of the BBS style wheels found on most modded bmws... i think he wants something like a 5 spoke deep dish wheel.

Abix · 9th May 2008, 13:45

Okay, tried changing the colour to charcoal grey and alpina blue! havent come out that great, but i guess can give a general idea.

Naaah......black looks the best Abix.

Deep dish wheels would look killer on the beemer. If the car is going to be black, then matt black wheels would suit it best. For a blue beemer, white or golden wheels (a la subaru WRX) would look super.

Blue IMO has always brought the best in this particular model of BMW.
Id vouch for the blue, it'll look awesome.
Only downside is it will attract a lot of attention and make your car easy to spot by the damn cops.

IMO Get the Subaru Blue color scheme.. will look rocking with a set of golden deep dish alloys..

invincible7 · 9th May 2008, 19:59

Here are a couple of kit pics which i could source from the internet.. might help..

Xehaust · 9th May 2008, 23:46

Oh, quick thought, the blue can be a dark metallic one.
It will look awesome and wont be too flashy either - like the light blue in your picture.

Okay to be specific, i want to do the Dodge Viper GTS Pearl Blue on his car...

Also, another pic of abix's car in the background with a recently restored E36 with a custom pearl white paintjob, projector headlights and foglamps, crystal tail lamps and some other accessories.

Akshay1234 · 10th May 2008, 00:05

arush bro. that white one is begging for better rims. are the projectors available with a black background instead of chrome?

autopsyche · 10th May 2008, 00:10

Thats car is on OE 15" wheels, i think the owner wants to keep it that way because he doesnt want to increase the wheel dia. The projectors are available in black as well.

Abix · 10th May 2008, 00:19

Nooo, how can u do that to my baby!! lol! now it looks like a before and after case! As far as paintjob goes, i agree blue would look hot, but its not what im picturing my E36 to be as it would be too loud and am sorta growing out of it. Down to two choices, black or charcoal grey! ... hope im not breaking any hearts!
