20" rims for my E34?

See, the thing is I like these rims, I think there not to flashy & the 20''
are the only size that will fit......But if they will rub, then I'll have to look
for another rim. I my self like 18'' or 19'' at best, I've never had 20'' rims,
even on my MazdaSpeed I have 18'' Axis Seven Mods.....

Well keep in mind the diameter of the OEM wheels and tires will be less than that of a 20" wheel + the tire, so your speedometer will be off. Plus heavier wheels = poor handling, poor acceleration, and your brakes have to work 3x as hard. The largest wheels that actually LOOK good are 17" and in some cases 18". Also think about how silly 11.9" brake rotors would look with 6" between them and the inside of the rim...
Those wheels aren't bad but I think they are more suited for your mazda than anything.

Good info, thanks.... I may go with 17'' then....
"Please don't put 20s on your BM, you'll just look stupid and when you think people are looking at you cause they like it, they're really just be laughing inside."
I don't think everyone has your opinion about 20'' rims, but hey....
Like I said before, I thought the 20'' were the only size that would fit, but now
I see that 17'', 18'' & 19'' would fit.....
Hey 17'' would cost much less anyway & I still have time to look at other rims out there.... Thanks guys....

They are replicas, what does that mean?
Are they any good or what?

replica means that a company copied the design of a stock OEM bmw wheel and produced it a little cheaper. Sometimes you will never see the differences, but typically replica's aren't as sturdy, so they get bent easily and don't have the same finish quality as OEM wheels. Since you live in the Bronx, I'm pretty sure replica wheels would get bent up pretty quick, but again it all depends on the brand. If you went with something like borbet, breyton, etc. The ones you posted were made by falken... I know falken makes tires but I honestly didn't know they made wheels. You might want to do some research on the wheels (to see what others think of them).
