Default Bronze Wheels on my Alpine Ti

Took some quick pics today with my new wheels. Sorry, the car is pretty dirty and I went to the 1/4 mile track last night so its seen better days. Anyway, the new wheels are 18x8" powdercoated bronze metallic BBS RX with 245/35/18 tires.

I went with bronze mostly because I've never seem to many E36 with them. That and the fact that I get new wheels every 6 months so this is just a fad like all the others. Who knows what's next.

It's not luck, more like recycling. You start w/ a set valued at about $1000 and after only 6 months of use you can make most of your money back and start over with a new set of similar value.
