535is test fit ACS Type 1's

Ive been chipping away at it, next is building my old GC coilovers to fit the ACS Type 1's:

17x9 front
17x10 rear

So far, the rears will just need a bit of roll to fit. These are after the paint correction, wet sanded down to 1000g, then 2000, 2500, DA compounded, polished, 2 stages of swirl removal, wax.

Still need to address that spoiler, sand and paint it black?

Its road worthy now and ready for a GTG. Ive gone through numerous wheels, personally I really like the Riken Mesh.

Schnitzers look good. What offset are they and the tire size?

Ive been a long time fanatic of the e28, I think I placed in the 5'er fest in Reno like 14 years ago with my e34 M5, I found these old pictures.

That's me in the lower left corner, you can see the Schnitzers. Hope to go again in the e28 this time.

I like the Rikens, but I'd like them more in another color. At any rate, all of your choices are solid ones in my opinion. Thanks for sharing.

Funny how divisive the issue of wheel aesthetics can be, and how a *certain* wheel model can make (in someone's eyes) or break (in others') the complete appearance of a car. The really interesting thing is that it does make or break the look.
