I like the OE wheel design (the single-spoke...that's 264, right? I can't keep 'em straight, whatever), but those skinny fronts will never do.

So...slapping an extra set of rears on the front would add just under 1/2" on the outside (it won't look goofy) and just over 1/2" on the inside (it'll fit no problem). And of course this gets rid of the stagger and lets you rotate f/r. Ta-daaa!

Of course BMW might want an arm and a leg to part with a couple wheels (I'd ditch the RFT's regardless). May end up being more cost-effective to just buy a set of cheap repro's....thoughts?
