My E46 with the E82 wheels haha

E46 with the 197s. I miss this car sometimes, but it was so unreliable if you neglected it for 2 seconds and went through suspension components like no tomorrow.
I think desertman123 has these wheels on his 1'er. I have Bimmerworld TA5R's in an E46 fitment (17x8.5, ET38 square) and they work pretty well. I made the mistake of ordering tires with a 5% too tall sidewall so they rub a little on bumps, but there was no problem with the right size. Looks really mean when the track alignment is dialed-in with 3 degrees of camber up front
