Got some wheels for the BMW.
Sunday, January 01, 2012 8:39 AM
I finally got some wheels for my E60. They came off my buddies car I shared pictures of a long time ago.



Maya STM's 3 piece.

20x9 Front
20X10.5 rear

The need a little bit of refinishing so I'm going to do a total refurb on them. I'm going to take the faces off, strip them with some aircraft stripper, repolish, and repaint them. I'm not sure which color yet. I'm thinking about a matte color possibly. Here are some pics of one of the rears. They have a huuuge lip on them.

ohhh the way hoodrats talk....


Anyway, those look awesome, and I'd be tempted to go back gold if I was refinishing wheels like that. The gold looks great.

Thanks

One of the tires are blown on top of needing to refurb. I'll probably be looking at about a month before they are on my car.

I like the gold too, but I want to make them my own and switch up the style.

Well don't be different for the sake of being different, you've done everything on your car very tastefully so far. I'd hate to see you do a color that doesn't flow. Or even worse, what all the euro tuners got the Honda guys into with that nasty bright fluorescent colored fad....

I was thinking Flamingo pink

Just kidding... maybe a matte smoke grey or possibly do a color match.

Color match... so silver lol. That's neutral enough and in that style of wheel would look awesome with the polished lip. I'm over the gunmetal/black fad, but I don't think I'll ever be over the gold.... it's just such a beautiful color on that style of wheel.

Yes. The offset is low. +14 I believe. The sticker showing the offset is barely legible lol.

These wheels costed around 4 grand new by what I was told. I paid under $700

Nice choice on wheels man! Glad you got the hookup! I personally love them the color that they are. Maybe added a different finish gold such as metallic or matte, but that color definetly looks great on the wheel and great with your ride! Post plenty of progress pics!

Those definitely have a fat lip. They need a band aid. I say do the rims in dark silver metallic.

Wow I didnt know you have the same wheels, funny lol. I seen a for sale ad on a Scion TC forum yesterday with a set for sale in 5x100. The thread is 2 years old though lol. Very nice wheels. I love these. Also, the center caps will probably be replaced with BMW caps but
Traffic star caps would be cool too of I can find them new.

I'd say go with this color here, gunmetal or black, with all the tint and black accents around your car, shyt would look sick and azncav I like mesh wheels but find them hard to clean the back of the rim but I would get a set just because of this picture, they look mint on your car so now I definatly wanna see Eternal' s setup

I think a matte charcoal finish will look really sharp against that silver! Sweet deal! I can't wait to find a deal for the Lexus like that...

im not sure about Eternals STMs but mine are more of a three tone color.. the polish lip, the gunmetalish color for the face, and a black inner barrel. so i don't even bother cleaning inside the wheel to often as it doesn't really show anyways
