I've always liked those 7 series George...any plans to paint the bottom molding?

George looking good. Didn't want to go with a smaller tire? And are we thinking of a custom kit or going with one of the Euro companies?

Beauuuutiful...

LOOKS GOOD MAN!! KEEP IT UP

Very nice! So far, so good!
 
The E38 is my all time favorite BMW. Sometimes I've been thinking about trading my GS in for one...:shrug:
 
BTW, what happened to your other cars? Both of them were very nicely done.

dood, what kind of accident were you on the SC? 
 
I'm glad you walked away from that
 
 
good luck on the new project

Looks good, Love to see these done up.

ahh you got get 7 ? i have missed this

forgot to check vsc...haha

thanks for all the compliments guys, I'm geting an ACS roof spoiler and an Alpina lip, then getting rocker panels color matched while i do all of that...so yea

WOWSER!!

for week 1 you get an A

but you gotta keep up the pace, so far week 2 is a F

man its amazing what wheels do to a car

nice e38

Lookin good. Luv da 7

Lookin good man! Clean up the plastic trim on your 7 with some shine...

thanks

I'm actually waiting to buy alpina lip and roof spoiler, than the rocker panels are getting body matched...

Yah, it'll look way better after you do that.  How's the stance?  From the pics it looks like some mild spacers are in order.

I know it's an E34..but it's pretty cool:

looking good man I was gonna purchase a set of these from wheeldude but decided otherwise. they look soooo sick on your car. What coilover setup are you running because I was going to pick up the kw setup but a buddy of mine advised against it. so I'm still looking.

Thanks, That E34 is pretty nice.

Spacers in front for sure, just no time to put some in yet... friend has a set of 12mm and 10mm that I can use. Gotta get a stud kit and stuff still though =\

NEX Coilovers, these are just to hold me over for the drop for now. After other stuff gets done, either going with AIR or KW V3's cause I would feel safer driving fast on those...haha

Currently looking for wheel recommendations, and anything else really...aftermarket is weak for this model =(

Wheel reccommendations? New e90 series (the newest 7 series?) wheels, most of them come with crazy offsets/styles, from concave to decent lipped wheels. Cheap on CraigsList, and look great! 

You have to keep it Euro though...so if aftermarket, stick with BBS, but real ones this time. :biggthumpup:

RB wheels has a couple of wheels with 5x120...a set of work equips, and some ls406 in CHROME. You might be considered a scraper on 20x9/10 +17 though, especially in the bay.

I've always like the newer 7-series wheels:

Even the 6-series has some nice wheels:

my friend is runnin those 6 series wheels on his 7...i dont like em too much, the new 7 wheels look good, i might have to go with some 20" alpinas... 

Those look good on the s14, adaptors to get em to fit?

The newest 7's are F01 model, e90 is the 3 series

I saw those ls406's last night, i dont like chrome though...i was thinkin eurolines...hahaha

Eurolines would fit the euro theme...lol.

[QUOTE=Baoser;250323]Those look good on the s14, adaptors to get em to fit?[/QUOTE]

Yeah, that guy had adapters for them.

I wouldn't go with E90 wheels as these are the new 3 series. They'd work but you'd have to go with some huge Spacers. I'd keep it oem such as the style 95's above till you find what u want. I'm running Piaa Superozza and the fit/look pretty good. They are 19x9 et15 & 19x10 et20 lips are 3" & 4" (I think)

My current setup is 19x8.5 + 15 and 19x10 +15...but I don't have dish....haha

pics of the piaa's reemo?

I don't have any on this laptop cus its new but here's a link to my old thread about my Maya's the piaa's are in the pic in my sig....I can email you some if you really want to see a better pic.

Dude, no need for a "stud kit" (as you called it) on a lug bolt car.

Just get hub-centric spacers and longer lug bolts. H&Rs are great and 
are available in a variety of thicknesses.

You can use any wheels from a late-model 5/6/7 series or any 8-series car.
They are all "low offset."

I'd do something custom three-piece, but I am a wheel snob.

Stud kit makes my life of putting the wheel on a whole lot easier, plus I got a set today, hooked up...haha

Have you chopped any newer BMW wheels on your ride yet?
Imo eras don't match at all. I was scoping out e38's for a while and I was thinkin futuras w/ some ridiculous steplippage.
Or you could always take the road most traveled and rocc the Alpina's... classic for a reason.

I suck at photoshop...haha + im lazy, 

everyone has alpinas...my wheels dont look bad, but i wanted something with dish...haha

Yeah your stoccers are clean, but I completely agree with you, see above, E38's need that step lip. You could try to source some RS faces which are pretty close to your stocc, and just go savage with some custom barrels.  Checc out felgen-garage.de for some futuras, someone on the forum got some custom ones for his LS through them and said the service is prime, can't remember who though?  And if you like the euro multi spoke style, a la Alpina, you should checc some coach companies like DPE, iForged, or god forbid HRE, as they all have something close. Oh yeah my personal favorite FIKSE.
Good lucc on it though man, the E38 has and will always have a place in my heart can't wait to cee what you come up with.

Edit: Didn't see the lineas.. those real multi? You can just throw barrels on those if lip is what you seek.

I was thinking of some Works since I have a set of adaptors, but I need to test fit them. It's made for American bolt pattern 4.75 to 4.5. suppose to 4.7244 to 4.5, so we'll see.

VIP MODULAR VR-01's!

big steve runs those vip modular wheels right?

Big steve use to run em on his LS, i think Dennis has em on his M now (deesfd430)

The OEM style 32's are really nice looking as well. They have a lip but its not agressive. I'm not sure if the lip sizes are different sizes either but they look really good on the e38's. Seen 1 yesterday and I was surprised how good they looked. They're 20's but these cars can swollow 20's. 

+1 On The guys at Felgen, they are great. I spoke to them a while back about some Futuras, very helpful.
