Basically title says it all. Just looking for 16's of 17's that look like the mid 1990's sport sedan rims that will fit our Contours. Thanks!

You could get a set of BMW wheels and try to
have them re-drilled and modified to fit, but
some people don't recommend this. I don't see
myself how the wheel would maintain strength.

But here's some ideas... I'm not positive all
of these fit our cars, but I suspect they do:

* Similar to the E46 "Star Spoke 44" wheel:



* Similar to the E36 M3 "M Double Spoke II"
wheel:



* Similar to the E36 "Cross-spoke 42" wheel,
there are others like this one around too:



* Similar to the Breyton "Inspiration" wheel:



* Similar to the E39 "Radial Styling" wheel:



* Similar to the "Double Spoke 47" wheel and
a new E46 wheel I don't know the name of yet:



* This wheel reminds a bit of the multi-spoke
classic Alpina wheel:



So anyway...

None of these are "dead on" but some are very
similar. Any of these close to the wheel you
are talking about?

Well, that's why I bought my Moda Sports. Made by BBS, they have the BMW look, looking very close to the ones on my mom's Z3 2.8.

My Borbet Type H wheels looked nearly identical to one of our sales reps Z3 wheels laugh
