Hello fellow Wedgers.

Your opinions would be welcome on which set of wheels to fit.

Do I keep the rare (ish?) 350se wheels, which don't belong on a standard 350i. But were all I could find when I bought the car, as mine had horrible Cerb wheels fitted.

Or do I go with the OZ split rims? Which I think may have been a factory option for the 350i.

I like both but I've got enough stuff in the garage so one set of wheels will be enough I think.









Cheers Karl.

I bought a 350i which had the SE wheels on and they was not my cup of tea, plus they are not the right wheels for the car but I was lucky and bought a set of original wheels which I prefer or it would have been the 0Z wheels which I like but it depends if you want to keep it original which I am trying to do as best I can but that's my thing

The SE wheels are OZ wheels, aren't they?
I think they look good on the car. But then again I might be biased...

Another vote for the OZ here. Does anybody have a set of these or lattice wheels for sale?

With the car colour my view would be the five spoke Oz wheels. The SE wheels don't look quite right.

I reckon original lettuce wheels with yellow centres, I remember a 350i in cambridge that was yellow with yellow wheels, and it looked fab!
