tires and wheels Uber Rare Ti/SA steel wheels on a 2002

[bluebmw]

I've never seen another 2002 with steel wheels from an 1800Ti/SA so I figured I should share some pictures of my new wheel setup. The wheel specs are 14x6 et15 with 185/60/14 tires. I sandblasted and powdercoated the rims "tiger" gray. 
I had to roll the front fenders the slightest bit due to minor rubbing under hard cornering, but now the fit is spot on with no issues. (my car is running Bilstein sports and H&R sports, I'm guessing there would be no rubbing with a stock setup) The rears have no problems under stock fenders.

The Ti/SA wheels were never supposed to have hubcaps, but they sure look good with some dog dishes (test fit only).



Let me know what you think!

I've never been a big fan of those wheels really- they just look like a spare tire to me. (no offense)

My favorite rims on a 2002 are the factory bottlecaps on mine-they're becoming pretty rare themselves.

I do like those wheels on the Ti/SA, however.

Is that actually how you roll fenders then? I have heard talk of baseball bats being used but that was not how I envisaged it.

Pity me: I am an Englishman living in Australia

Nice pictures by the way

Thats one way but you can also use a real fenderroller like from eastwood.

SHARP!

looks proper.

right amount of offset and lowness.

Thank you for doing something different..If I see another 02 with a set of Rota's I will cry! Well done!

Love the wheels with the dog dishes!

I think they look great. I also like them with the dog dish

Mmmmmmm.....those look nice. I wish that we could find a cheap steel wheel with Ti/SA dimensions that wasn't so rare.

[Conserv]

Very nice! "über rare" is right: makes a Borrani rim seem commonplace!

Enjoy!

Wow that looks nice and I actually like how it looks with the dog dishes!

I wish I still had the original rims for those hub caps. Well and the hub caps . Hate being stuck with the 320i rims they are nice but not quite like that.

[dlhoovler]

Very nice! I love that look both with and without the caps--similar to my 2000cs wheels, but much more aggressive and much rarer.

Wow, polar opposites. Do not like the look without the dog dishes, absolutely love it with them.

Gotta say that squaries with euro bumpers make me drool....

Great job!

Looks good! I want your wheels!! Although our cars are very similar!
