Also pondering wheels. Some 16x8/9 3 piece would be apples/hard to find.

As awesome as that would be, the E46 gear looks to have pushed the track out quite a bit. This would make it quite difficult to fit decent offset wheels. In saying that, anything is possible, and with the help of some super wide guards you could easily get away with it.

Another option worth considering, is a different style of wheel altogether. This approach would definite get mixed reactions, but I think it looks good, very DTM/STW.

You've probably already seen that car, yours looks inspired by it in some ways.

Tracks about this much bigger, bit more at the front.

On 17x8 et35. Not easy finding 5x120 wheels in decent sizes at 15-16".

Looking for an older '70s? style for it. More profile less wheel, chrome bumpers etc.

Also like ally droptanks and side exhausts ha.
