I wouldn't do it! You'll be riding on metal. And the expense isn't worth it! Later!

totally agree...even if it might look barely OK, how could it possibly be worth the horrible ride and extra wear and tear

That sounds about right. I like that nickname too!

If you put 26"s on it maybe it will take the attention off the whole car and just the wheels.

These are the wheels I can pick up for a good price, only difference is mine will be a brushed aluminum face , not the chrome

they are not my style of wheel but when your in Canada you really have such limited options

BMW's are 5x120mm, LS's are 5x114.3mm. So plan on adapter thickness when you do the offset math, unless you intend to get the rims redrilled(if even possible with those rims).

Sorry, I'm not sure about that.
But I just wanted you to keep in mind that you will be loosing a lot if rude comfort ness and quietness if you upgraded your rim sizes.

If you're just looking for a better look then go for it, but don't expect it to ride the same way.

im used to riding on 20's for the past 5 years, the whole 'harsh ride' and 'u will ruin your suspension' thing is blown way out of proportion

u feel more bumps yes, but your handling also drastically improves

I think they will look pretty good. The brushed face should go nicely with your car. Are you going to put a lip kit on or keep the stock body?

The biggest id run is 21" MAX, 22s Ive seen look ridiculous, might as well rally the car they are high as hell.

Thanks Kira buddy ,

i checked them out today , and they were such a good price I had to buy them.

they are HUGE yes, but they are also 3 piece forged, so im happy

I will be installing them tomorrow, I hope they look as good as i think.

And yea i really want the version select kit, but its only for 04-06, so I might buy the side skirts and then piece together a front and rear lip.
