Not a big fan of the sawblades...BMW makes some really nice OEM wheels and this clown goes with those? Too funny!

I disagree, I think those later style sawblades look really nice. I like the '90 stock rims even more. I don't care much for the sawblade rims on the early C4's though.

If anyone would make sawblades 18" and a good offset to clear the front C5 brakes I would go for it ASAP.
