Missing my BMW 545
Hello everyone,
So ive been doin alot of research for mods for my is350
Im months away (its winter) from actually putting on rims for my car but i had a set from my bmw that i thought may look pretty aggressive. The rims are miro 111's. fronts are 19x8.5 et15 and rears are 20.9.5 et18..From what ive read so far those offsets would be damn aggressive and im under the understanding that i would need to do fender work, which i am fine with and intend to do anyway.
So im thinking if i stretch on some tires and get a hub adaptor these might look pretty mean.
Heres pics of my 5.

Let me know what you guys think..
Either sell em, or keep em.
Thanks

it had 175kms and was an absolute pig on repairs..had to do 8000 of work just in the motor for the 4 vanos units! then the water pump, brake booster and a couple of other small things that added up to ALOT of money! Trust me, i dearly miss her and ive only been driving this is350 for 2 weeks now.

Nice 5 series. I would sell those wheels and buy some new ones for your IS. You can make those offsets fit at the end of the day like you said but I would just get 18s or 19s with aggressive offsets. I don't prefer 20s in aggressive offsets on the IS, but you only have 20s at the rear so you might get away with it. Either way, post pics on what you decide

.I chose the staggered setup for the 545 cause i thought it would give it a real aggressive look. Thought that maybe it would do the same for the is350. Ive got months to really think hard about these wheels and many mods to do before then.
5 series was sick!! Question is do you still even want these wheels on your IS or is it just cause you have them? 2nd, Try and see how much you can get for them if you don't wan't to do all that work. Good luck and post pics!
