 Japanese wheels on German cars. how bad/sad is this idea?



Well I used to be all out japanese car fan until I got an E90 few weeks back.
Most of my friends still drive japanese cars. one of them owns Audi S4.

One night we were talking outside, and they asked me if I had any plan for my car.

Me: "Maybe wheels.."
friend: "which ones?"
Me: "thinking of volks"
friend: "japanese wheels on german cars? "

Ok. I guess its not a good idea? The guy with Audi S4 is having so much trouble
finding rims that satisfy him(few euro rims he looked at, he didn't like.).
I guess I kind of agree though, wouldn't it be funny if you see a souped up integra with
bunch of ACS parts?(say there were a few).

Honestly, I like dynamic/creative looks of Volks, and is relatively cheaper than high-end
euro rims. I found a few rims i like from ACS and hartge, but DAMN the price.

I am new to german car scene, so give me some advices guys.
Would putting on volks look stupid on my BMW? Those of you who has japanese rims
on your german cars, what do others say? Honest experience stories appreciated.

BMW OEM wheels are Japanese

No.

My suggestion is to look around www.e46fanatics.com and see how people react to Volk wheels. I like the LE37 / TE37...doesn't matter what kind of car they're on.

Its very difficult and expensive to improve upon the looks of the OEM wheels on the E46 and E90s. The E36 was a whole other story.

BBS typically look very nice on BMWs.

Isn't SSR a Japanese company? I see BMW's with SSR wheels all the time and I have not seen/read/heard anyone said anything dumb like that.
