I bought some of those 750 wheels and yes they look good, but there are front clearance problems with the twist-on cap. It won't clear the spindle. A radical solution was to grind down the spindle by about 1/2" and flatten the grease cap down by the same amount.

It's possible that other wheels with the same twist-on caps may have the same problem. Just something to look out for.

I especially like the dinner plate 750iL wheels! They are major slick looking on an e23!!

As for me, I prefer the sleeper kraut look -- I have 14" rims off a 528e on there now!
