So my brother in law and sister suddenly decided to move to Hawaii. He had an E46 BMW that he just sold which he bought 18" authentic BMW rims and tires for. He left them to me for my car but I'm wondering if they would look weird on my old car. I'm not even sure if they'll fit. My current rims are the standard 15" ones the car came with. The wheels do look nice though.

I would put them on there if they didnt look all torn up and chipped. That just makes you look like a cheap ass who wanted nice wheels but couldnt afford new/decent shape ones.

It's just one rim guys.

Parallel parking around here is a bitch especially with low profile wheels.

Anyway, they were free so who am I to complain.

they should fit, i don't think bmw will have changed the bolt pattern. try putting one on.

ps, that's not how you store rims w/tires, it should be flat the other way ;):p

Parallel parking is only a bitch if you suck at driving. It shouldn't matter if you have 18's or factory 15's you shouldn't curb the wheels with either.....

Yes they where free, but please whatever you do don't put that chipped one on the car, at least buy one, Hell when someone with the name CheapArse tells you to buy another one, you know it can't be a waste of money.

The reason they they're wrapped like that is bc there was a torrential downpour the day he brought them over and he needed to put them in the back of his car. I think it rained 4 inches in one hour that day.

Ehh my Honda has a few MINOR dings/ MINOR scratches, but I would not put one of those Rims on it for nothing. I have 18" Enkei's on it, and if one of them looked like that I would DEF. Replace it, and Its JUST A HONDA. Your driving a BMW, although a 10YO one, you don't want an ugly fvked up rim like that on it.

i bought my car used with scratched up rims...:(
audi a6 - stock ones.

i just cleaned it all up today and it looks pretty nice. but the dents and scratches on 1-3 of them look nasty, especially the rear right.

good thing I do have a set of AT Italia with blizzaks (or however you spell em)
