BMW wheels on my 73.

I bought a set for Rondell 58 wheels that on a BMW. The wheels came with Michelin pilot sport tires. Front tires are 255 40 18. Back tires are 285 35 18. I used a .50 hub centric spacer. I really like the looks.What do you think? Than

I like the wheel design but in my opinion 17's looks better on C3's

Picked up a set of 17x8 rally's last spring that should fit my C3, TA or project truck. And got some some TSW 17x9 for my C4(one on top of boxes in pic), they were too cheap tah pass up. Might get some adpaters to use em also on my C3

Love those.. a whole bunch! What yr/model are those off of? Look like Forgeline to me who would guess?
A body guys have been using those for yrs, the right ones look real good.

Those look great. M-Pars are a nice choice, too. Any issues going between 5x4.75 (5x120.65mm) (GM) and 5x120mm (BMW)? I've seen plenty of Bimmers wearing Corvette wheels.
