Wire Wheels

[Ohmess]

I have plenty to do to keep me occupied on my coupe for a while, but at some point I will think about getting around to wheels. Some of the wheels for our cars that I like -- the BBS RS for example -- appear to be designed to look like wire wheels.

What about actual wire wheels:

Up to date metallurgy, made in the USA, and available in 15" or 16" sizes.

i would leave those to jaguars, austin healeys + mg. don't think they fit visually on a coupe.

As much as I loved the wires on my old e-type, imho they just don't work on coupes, unless your name is Huggy Bear.

...and you paint your coupe pink. Please don't do it.

But Chris, you could be the proud owner of the first (and only) "Mary Kay" Coupe!

Wire wheels on an E9 don't quite work - tried it out on my Autoart CSi

I like the look of the wire wheels on some Ferraris....I think if you could get an aluminum rim and a substantial outer lip you could make the look work.

Wire wheel

Real Borrani knockoffs would probably look very nice, but finding a set that would fit correctly would probably be next to impossible (and unaffordable).

Silver "basket weaves" would be as near as I would go.
