I'm looking for nice 19" for my recently purchased sedan. I see the M6 rims look grea

I'm looking for nice 19" for my recently purchased sedan. I see the M6 rims look great but the M3 rims also look good. Any idea where to get replica rims also? I'm in Canada so it's hard to find dealers up here that sell replica rims. I'm willing to ship from states anyways, Thanks.

When rim shopping, look for a balance between appearance with ease of cleaning. The M3 rims on the wifemobile look great but are a PITA to clean! Also, hers are only 17" and she has already bent a front rim on a curb. I would not even try 19"

Hey Manolito, the wife in my case has the Honda, This is my daily driver and I can only run the rims for 4 - 5 months a year so cleaning them is no issue. My fun car is Diablo Roadster so I know how fun it is to play with polishing 3 piece rims...uggg. They still don't look as good as the day I bought them. But that aside I have purchased the M-tech bumpers for the car and I'm looking to get the Rims that make the vintage of the car look a little more modern. I like the big grey 6 style rims but the M6 rims have alittle more jazz going on. The M3 rims are pretty busy and look too tunerish, but I they do have some class with the bright chrome. My main concern is finding a company that has replica rims that you guys trust to make sure I don't them shipped up here and they don't fit due to offset issues.

Thanks, for any help.
Vic

Chrome? Wow let's see some pics. I've been looking at this pic to get an idea of what the M6's might look like on a sedan:

OK the link was supposed to go to the Showroom section of the site for the Blue E39 with M6 rims. I like the stance it definetly looks cool.

The picture seems to show the chrome is dirty? or is the reflection? Eitherway what are you asking for the rims? and do they come with the tires?

Cool looks good, I sent you an email with my info. Just for general knowledge has the car int he pic been lowered? What kind of springs did you use? Eibachs? 1.4 inch drop? Is the offset correct for the 323. It looks good in the pics but are you using any hardware to mount the rims?

Thanks, for the info.
