White wheels?

m3avrck · 11-03-2002, 07:38 PM

Any body know where I could buy a set of white wheels for a '95 325i? I'm trying to look for 17" x 8.5" if possible.

Spefically, I'm looking for the ones on page 52 of the current Bavarian Autosport Fall / Winter catalog.

thanks

Is there a web link? I'm not sure what you mean by 'white'?

Unfortanetly I can't find a link anywhere online.

But here is a link for a free copy of their catalog: http://www.bavarianautosport.com/

By white, I mean not silver or chrome. Just white wheels (or rims). I know they are pretty hard to find.

Anything can be painted with good wheel paint. What style wheel are you looking for?

Probably a 5 spoke. So if I buy a $1800 set of Hamann wheels and I paint them, I'm not going to ruin them (provided I do a good job)?

I figured the paint might chip off or something. Is there any brands/sites you recommend I look into?

Thanks.

Have you looked at the AC Schnitzer wheels? A set of M-Contours always looks good on any E36 also, especially if you want a 'factory' look.

Also, just curous, why white wheels? Are they going to go on a white color car? Just curious.

Yeah, a white car. I saw a set of white wheels on a white e36 and it looked great.

Although, I am still considering getting silver Hamann HM 17" on here: http://www.hamann-motorsport.de/programme/e20.htm

Anyone know of any good pictures of silver wheels on a white e36?

Or maybe I could paint the car silver. Hmm.... so many options.

Those wheels look really nice. I think you should go with the white wheels on a white car, it will look very unique. After all, silver BMWs are dime-a-dozen. Only thing is, white rims will likely be pretty tough to keep clean w/ all the brake dust. Keep them waxed and it should be ok. Just my .02

We sell Wurth paint, which is what the Porsche guys use to paint their wheels (OEM for Porsche). No one seems to have a problem. You might have to freshen it up every few years...
