Mesh on a Moupe?

Eccentric · 11-23-2010, 05:43 PM

Anyone ever think about basketweaves or mesh in general on an M coupe? I think the e86 is the most classic looking bmw in recent memory and a nice set of 'weaves could look clean and give off a nice bimmer vibe.

I personally don't see it looking good, the car is just too modern and a simpler spoke wheel always looks better on these cars imo. Plus aren't basketweaves typically in 17" diameter? Is there anything bigger? 17 would be way too small on a m coupe

lol yeah 17" is the LARGEST i've seen. more commonly, they are smaller... but i still thought id dig around to see what it'd look like. maybe a kind forum-goer could do a quick 'shop?

if 17 is the largest, it'd never clear the front brakes.
