Very nice!

I'm not much of an 18" wheel guy for our cars, but yours look great. I think the close spoke pattern keeps it from looking 'wagon wheelesque'.

Not a bad wagon in the pics either....

[Yellow2]

Very nice. Always nice to hear what other people havei n their cars. Your car looks great with those fatty tires in the rear too !!!

[Skeen]

Looks great. I would suggest doing the front sidemarkers in a smoked clear or leave the fronts orange. Just looks a little inconsistent, but the car overall looks amazing!

I have a smoked set of side markers. They looked a bit cheesy. I think it is the result of them being amber/red then smoked. I'll buy new front lenses just to take a look. Does anyone make clear smoked side markers?

Wow your M5 looks amazing. Those Alpinas are one of my fav. on the E28. I wish my M5 looked like yours.

Here are the clear blinkers and tail lights but i dont know of anyone for the side markers.

hey cj, great looking car. Was it difficult putting 18"s on the car? or does your setup not lower the car at all?, i think the 18's look great.

It was'nt difficult at all. The m5's fenders seem to have more"roll" to them than an "e" or an "i" car. The limiting factor to make the offset on the rear wheels more positive was the trailing arms. What I did was fit up the wheel with no tire installed to see how far I can go in toward the trailing arm. I had a few mm to move the wheel inboard so I had the backpad on the Alpinas shaved 7mm to move it further inboard. Total offset is now 32mm. The front was lowered 2" and the rear I adjusted down 1.25". These measurements are taken from the center of the hub to the fender opening.

No prob, But i think you only get the clear lens and you have to break out the taillight to replace it with the clear. sounded like a pain to me.
