Default e46 bmw wheels

seems like quite a few of you have bmw's so i thought id ask a question on here....

my dads got a standard e46 318i and is looking for a nicer set of wheels for it, he's seen a few on the 330's etc that he likes, and i think BBS LM wheels would look the tits on it (even though theyre about 4grand ) he doesnt want to spend thousands on them

so for those of you that are into your beemers; what wheels do you think look best without costing too much money?

cheers

How about some LM reps, look just as good but a fraction of the price!

also 19" x5 wheels look sweet too, you need to fit smaller tyres also like 235 /45/19s seen a few e46 fitted with these, pic them up on ebay for around 250 set
