Mag Blue TE37s on Alpine White
What do you think? I like the JDM+Euro look. I have always owned Hondas (3 S2000s and now a Civic Si), and I love Volk Racing rims. Check the link to see how they look on a white Si.

I say go for it IF you have the money.
They are effing expensive as hell. But yes, I've always liked JDM+Euro combo as well, and I'm expecting to get some JDM wheels (either Gram-Lights or G-Games) on my future 135i |

Volk doesn't seem to make many wheels for the larger sizes required by BMWs.

I don't think finding Volk wheels big enough will be a problem. |

I would like to note that the Mag wheels the OP is talking about isn't the usual Volk wheels...It's a special order wheel that costs $1700 EACH so for a set, it costs $6800.
Nice wheels, though, inTgr8r. |

Current BMW owners, do us all a favor, when you see stupidity and ricer crap from Evo, WRX, Civic etc...who are thinking they are going to bust the bank and get a 135i, please stop them in their tracks and let them know that this kind of logic and styling is NOT BMW!!!
Don't bring your ricer crap from your Japenese rides to this brand please!!! Don't compare how a wheel looks on a friggin CIVIC to a BMW thank you!! Those wheels just look stupid. Thank you have a nice day. :thumbup: |

What logic are you talking about? All I see is a suggestion for a set of good wheels. And they look stupid? I assume you have a degree in ID... |

Nice wheels, though, inTgr8r/[QUOTE] Mag Blue is a special order, but I don't think they are normally that expensive. Volk usually charges a 5-10% premium for special color orders (you can get almost any color you like). Quote:

I thought you were talking about ForgedMag TE37 that came out as a special edition like a couple of months ago. Those forged magnesium wheels do cost $1.7k each retail... Here's a pic of it |

Crockey was refering to mag blue the color, not the Forged Magnesium Racing TE37's. Those are big $$$$.
That said, I think that Mag blue on White, black, and sometimes light silver looks amazing. If I wan't partial to Gold on white so much, I'd get the blues on a 135i. (my S2000 has gold Volks right now) And if I remember correctly, Crockeys last S2000 with simple yet clean with bronze CE28N's on Black.
