Maybe the steeliness need a trim ring? I have always been a huge fan of the 320i basket weaves, but I know fitment can be tough in the rear.

Very nice looking car.

Thanks John, I considered stainless trim rings, but after looking at them on an 02, it didn't seem like the right the look for my car. I paid very little $ for these wheels w/ new tires, so I really just threw them on there & thought they looked cool. I still have the refinished set of turbines & also a set of bwa's I will restore. (The honey comb style)

I won't be doing much more to it this year except driving it. 8-) Edited by sislane

Nice job all around, very clean. To each his own but the stock wheels with a 70 series tire really looks right on these cars - especially with the stance yours has which I have to say I really like. Definitely lower than stock but not too low. Probably somewhere else in your thread, but what springs are you using? Have fun with your car.

Thanks a bunch... I did drop the car slightly, but definitely didn't want it too low, like you say. I still have the stock coils, and cut 1 1/2 coil from the fronts (as well as removing the spacers) & 1 coil from the rears. It improved the handling dramatically. Much more grounded. A very controversial subject on here, but I say this makes the car handle a hundred time better. I still need to add camber plates to the front struts and I may also do something with the rear-end, as my rear tires do wear prematurely on the inner half of the tires. And for now, I have fairly fresh Bogue front inserts and Bogue rear shocks.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
