Need help finding rims for a 1988 BMW 635CSi.?

Question

Hi there I own a s**y little 635CSi and would love to find some usable 15" rims. Preferably from somebody in Canada. I have been informed

that the 5 series E34 [1989-1995] 525, 530, 540 and M5 will work on my BMW. They need to be 5-120mm with a 20mm offset. Rims will have to include the center caps and I will pay fair market value and all the S&H costs. Thanks for any/all help. Garry.

Answer 2

One thing you have to deal with is BMW changed the size of the center hole around 1994.  If you get a newer wheel you have to use eccentrics they are little rings you put on your cars hub to center the wheel on the hub.  If you don't use the rings your car will roll like a clown car.

Thank god your going with normal wheels.  A lot of people want to put on 17-18 and up wheels that are as fat as Jabba the hut.  The 635 is a real performer and is not designed to use the huge wheels people just have to have.

I like to use 8 inch wide wheels but make the front tires a little narrower than the rear it really helps not getting caught in groves in the road.   going up to 16 inch is ok BUT you will have a not so great feeling.  The perfect size is 225-60-15

Used wheels are everywhere but most people think they are worth 3X as much as they are really worth.. You have to give a nice polite offer of about 1/3 of the asking price.
