Style 71s on my 1er?

Add1ct · 09-11-2009, 09:08 PM

What do we all think of BMW OEM style 71s on the 1er. fronts are 18x8 et 47, rears are 18x8.5 et 50, so they will fit, just 2 mm more aggressive than stock. These came as an option on facelift e46 coupes/converts as I believe a $1000 upgrade. They are genuine two piece rims and I believe are made by BBS. I always liked them and I think they look modern enough to look good on the 1. what do you all think?

I think if you like them then get them.

They will look too small because of the thick double rim and shorter spokes. I made sure they were the same diameter as the Breytons on this photoshop and in comparison they look much smaller.

Like it! Split rims nearly always make the rim look smaller but in my mind I think it makes them look more substantial and stronger...
