Changing things up a bit. Not sure which I like the best?

Car in question:

dn'
All of these will be stanced out on stretched tires. The car will be going lower.

Things I'm considering:
Size: Not sure if 17's will be big enough?
Width: I don't really like tiny tires, so 205's on an 8" wheel wont appeal to me too much.

18x8.5 BBS CH ??? offset. I bought them off ebay and the guy didn't know the offset. I haven't received them yet. May need HUGE spacers :???:

Next up are 17x8 and 17x9 BBS style 5's. Need's refinishing.

SUPER RARE. et20 up front et26 out back.

Finally 17x9.5 Work Equips 01. Refinished.

et49 corvette fitment with 25mm adapters which brings the offset to et24. I'm looking for 0 offsets really. So I'll have nearly 2 inches of spacer :screwy:

I like these wheels because I can still run decent sized rubber with stretch as well.

the Style 5's. I mean, I really love what you've got on the car now.... but I'm partial to smaller wheels with big rubber.

Your current wheels are too nice...hah, if anything though I'd go with the BBS CHs. I've always liked those.

I like your wheels now to be honest, but the BBS CHs are pretty hot too!

CH's hands down, and sell me the wheels you have now

I'm not usually an advocate of newer wheels on older cars, but I think the CH's are pure secks on e34's.

I would have to say CH's because style 5's are overplayed, and the Works really won't do your car justice in such a high offset.

The CH' s I'm getting are silver.

Right now I'm stuck on the 18x8.5 CH's on 205/40 or the 18x9.5 forgelines on 215/35..

I don't think an e34 could pull off forgelines...

I voted CHs but it is unfair as those other wheels don't have as nice of a picture.

They look better than black IMO. Here's a pic (you've probably seen) that makes my BH wet. http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j18/W-ber/BBS2520CH252019.jpg

I would want to see the BBS 5's on thats my favorite wheel not sure on the car though.

I do like what you have though.

Either keep the RCs or go for the Forgelines. E36 fitment 8.5 CHs won't look right and Style 5s are just meh.

How are you confused.

First set - all day, every day.

I'd say keep looking man.. Works would be great but that offset just won't look right. CH's are only cool if they are low offset 10's in the rear. Forgelines are nice, but not really fitting for the e34.
