Rim suggestions on a 2004 325xi

[s__dime]

I recieve my 2004 325xi on thursday and will be putting some aftermarket chrome rims on her. Im going to be doing 18" I have looekd at all the high end bmw tuner lines ac schnitzer breyton all that but its more thasn i want to invest in wheels. My budget is around $3g with a decent set of tires. I have been looking at the Beyern Chrome mesh wheels any thoughts on those also any reccomendation as well as pictures would eb a huge help thanks. I want chrome ones though thanks.

If I were you I'd second think chrome rims....... way too heavy.
Have a look on fanatics and you should be able to find some used rims + rubber in good shape and within your budget.

chrome is usually what makes wheels more expensive

3 g's is a good price for some IForged wheels
Everyone know's that CHROME is old but its your preference.
I would rather go for the polished look.
Tunerworks has a set of used polished IForged Aero's for under 3.
I believe with 90% tread left on the tires.

Parallel spoke replicas look good on E36 or E46.

EDIT: Sorry man, didn't realize these are way over your budget ($1300 USD /wheel).

Yes, those are indeed BMW OE wheels that are suited for the 5- or 7-Series. I didn't have a pic handy of replicas so I used that pic.

Here's a more direct side view.

for E46, nothing beats a nice set of HRE's or DPEs

On Thursday I did a nice '04 330xi with 18" BBS RK and Continental SC2. Great set up

We have done lots of "xi" cars, give us a try and we'll come up with a nice package for you.
