Default Volks on a 335




this one doesn't look that bad. Seems like the rear has some crazy offset. I bet rubbing issue. . .

Why doesn't it surprise me that the pictures were taken @ the UCI campus.... Brats! Love them the matte finished wheels. Saw those personally on a silver Z and they looked mean.

Not bad at all. That German car looks VERY Japanese, the old BMW German stance/proportions are gone.

In my opinion the wheels are nice but are too racy looking for that car. Maybe if they were in a different finish it'd look better. Just my 2cents

Ya, he is going to rub with those offsets. The 335i actually has a ton of room in the rear, but e46 offsets won't work.

Ya, CSL reps are popular over at e90post. I like mesh style wheels on the 335i too. I have these...just waiting on the car now!

That's a very quick way to take a luxury sport tourer and turning it into an import tuner.

The wheels look great, but definitely not feeling it on the white BMW. It makes the new couple look even more like a Civic. And wheels look like they stick out too far.

I think BMW played a little too conservative on the design of the new coupe. Last generation is still the best looking by far.

Not a chop. However, since the owner didn't know the correct offsets, the wheels were ordered using e46 specs. Unfortunately, the wheels don't fit right and they rub a lot. Look at the rear - they stick out pretty far.

Sorry guys, I don't like this look. I say put on some BBS LM's instead...
