I'm constantly in search of wheels that will work on my car. I've looked all over. Some things are way to expensive, some won't look right, and some are too small. I like many 13" wheels, but there aren't any tires left for 13s. I found the wheels !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! for a great price, but after thinking about it, 14x5 is still fairly small, and I don't feel like paying to have the wheels widened or customized in some other way.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Now, I've always had a crush on the car above and below, and I've started pricing it out. If you can't figure it out, they are not BMW wheels. No, the one's in the pircture are stretched Porsche 356 wheels. 15x7.5F and 15x8.5R. Now, I don't want them that wide. But, I have found a set of 15x6s for $250 plus shipping. Then, I have to pay $400 for a 4x100 to 5x205 adapter. But, I think it's worth it. What do you guys think? Also, I think I'd paint the wheels black, like below, because a 15" wheel looks big on an 02 and chrome and silver can be too much with a white car.

The bottom example looks great.

I said it the first time you shared that pic, and I'll say it again: that's perfect! I love the blacked out hoops on the red car, and I think it would suit a white car equally well.

I didn't think I ever shared this picture, but oh well. Glad you agree. Yah, there's already so much chrome and SS around the car that silver or chrome would be too much. That's why some people with white 02s go for gold wheels, but I think that's a bit outlandish. I'm going for my definition of a German hot rod of the 70s.

Yahhhh, it'll take a while. Insurance payment is coming up and I have a GF now. But, I'll try my best. I'm just trying to score the wheels first .

That bottom car was for sale about an hour from me earlier this year. It would have been massively irresponsible to buy it but I thought about it. If I had more disposable income it might have been mine. :<
