Definitely look at BBS's - lots of good styles that complement the E46.

I ended up going with a staggered set of OZ Superleggeras. In 18x8/18x9 +40 they weigh 18.5/19 lbs front/rear and really sharpen the handling and road feel. Since you have a 325, the lighter the better.

BBS or ACS is definitely the way to go, although I haven't really seen a set of wheels/"rims" on an E46 that I'd say I was in love with. btw is it a 5spd?

EDIT: also what has made up your mind on staggered wheels? The only practical reason I've ever seen for doing it is more grip, and you won't have to worry about that if your idea of mods consist entirely coating any transparent surface in tint material, then throwing 20s on a car that makes 200hp MAX, it'd barely move.

what the fuck, dude.

first of all, it's a 7 year old E46 325i, meaning that it's never going to look or be baller. Second of all, decide for yourself. It's your car, idiot.

oh, and if you're gonna smoke out the taillights, my advice is to just light the car on fire. they'll get real smoky.

Problems:

1) you're stupid
2) you're indecisive
3) you have no taste
4) you bought the wrong car, in the wrong color, with the wrong number of doors (and my suspicion is the wrong number of pedals)
5) you came to arguably the worst place on the internet to ask for advise because the only thing that everyone here always agrees on is that OP is either A) a god or B) a faggot

if u notice i said "at 1st" as in im not looking at those anymore..and kno those were Benz wheels...i just put them up just to give you guys an' idea.. I put this thread up so any of you commenting would give me good suggestions... not to trash talk about what i 1st initially thought of... not really all that serious...

you seriously got some social issues along with many on this site.... like u said in #5 on ur list... we all cant have the best top notch quality rides u see in magazines... if u cant even give me suggestions without insulting..why even bother wasting your time to comment.? i laugh at people like you that just live to trash talk on the internet but probably cant talk like that in the real world...
