I currently have some akuza aublime 17's http://www.akuza.com/FWD/sublime.htm but they are not chrome.

I want to throw some chromes on there, what do you think i should do.

Should I trade mine in for some at a garage or should i sell mine on craigslist or ebay and buy some others from the net such as the link above. I dont have much experience in choosing wheels so your help is appreciated.

Those wont fit your car.


And just say no to chrome

"I want to throw some chromes on there", since thats what i "want" to do, why would I "say no to chrome"?

so you can't put 18's on a 325is?

oh i'm with you, its the fixture not the size which will not allow the rim to fit.

these would fit though huh...

Just make sure you get the ones for the 3 series. If you'll notice, they display two different offsets. The +20 is for the 5, 7, etc, series. You will want the +38 offset. One size, in this case will not fit all.

Are you selling the Akuza's?

Crome sucks!!! It always eventually peels off and then looks awful, just get alloy or polished allumnum

Hi, thank you very much for the info, yeah I guess I'll either be selling the akuza's or trading them with a garage.

yea really sry but chrome does not look good on the e36 or e46 and those dont look good on an e36 ive seen um....sry man just my oppinion

Thats fair enough, everyones entitled to their opinion, although, as chrome is a visually asthetic enhancement why would you say that it depends on the shape and styling of the car whether it suites chrome or not.

I think in terms of styling, chrome is far more dependant on the colour of the cars paint and the trimmings on whether it would look hot or not.

I dont know where you live but here in LA i'd say 70% rides are on chrome
