What are the wheel/tire specs? Way too much poke in the front. Front needs more camber, rear needs spacers to pull off this "look," JMHO of course.

I've never been a fan. Could look good. Needs a drop IMO

I suppose everyone is different. I got a ton of compliments on them I've always been a fan of how B3s look with the 20 spoke style.

If you put spacers it will hit wheel well they are 19". This is close to a Alpina B3 style I'm not arguing everyone is entitled to opinion but Alpina B3 might not be your taste deff not ugly though. I'm open to suggestions, again not arguing, I can take constructive criticism. As I've stayed before I've gotten compliments left and right without eve. Bringing them up right after I got them.

Nice! Kudos for the rare OEM+ find.. similar to finding rare Mugen wheels for a Honda or older BBS for an E30 etc. Would look even better with a drop!

The wheels look great! I wouldn't do it myself though. If there are going to be Alpina wheels it should be an Alpina car.

Many (including me) disagree with you. Ugly and a bit ghetto roller looking. OEM or not.

I love the look it would be even better with an alpina front lip or an m tech bumper. Dont lower it would make it look ghetto IMHO. Also I would put multiple wheel locks on every rim beacuse the market for these rims are huge and they are stolen far too often. Tail lights are a cool personal choice. LCIs would make it look super agressive and that would look great. Just few opinions.

I agree dropping luxury cars is ghetto what part would you suggest for an alpine lip with having to install a new front bumper?

If you're installing a new bumper def get mtech cause those look mean on e90s but if you dont want an entire new bumper google search e90 alpina lip. I haven't seen too many people with them so im not too educated but it goes on top of the bumper you have now.
