Your car is pretty clean already.

Get different wheels then the white car... I personally like to be different.

i'm with firelizard on this one, maybe some newer bmw alloys would look hot on your close to perfection ride.... i agree the sideskirts are a must for that finished look. Nice job! ;) Lovin' it!

Looks like you've still got a lot of room for more width, how about these meshies from the 5 series? They'd fit for sure.

great job on your ride so far. I agree with whoever said it above...to stay true to the era this car represents, BBS wheels are a must. Thats what the white car in the pic is rockin.

Wow, 6.5 wide max?
In those photos it looks like you have tons more room under the fender!
What limits your width first? Hitting the damper or hitting the fender?

Just get lower offset wheels.
On my car, there is very little room between the wheel and the suspension, I wouldn't be able to go wider than 7 with a high offset, but with a lower offset you can use all that space under the fender and get a nice Vip inspired flush fitment
