I own a '87 325is with 14" wheels. I would like to upgrade any sugestions? I would also like to upgrade the headlights. How about the replacement lights sold by turner motor sport with the replacement bulb?

Unless I'm mistaken on what I've seen with my 320i, I would say an 18" rim would fit without much trouble. Definetly a 17" would go no problem. As far as brands..... thats personal preference. The headlamps you speak of I have no expereince with. If you are looking for a good bulb, I'd say (and I go out on a limb here in this forum) PIAA. They are expensive but I've yet to find anything better. For the money you can't beat good ole ractive though. Pick em up for like 15 bucks a pop and you get an instant change in look, but for quality its PIAA all the way.

My '87 325is came with sealed beams. Hella makkes a beam witha replaceable bulb. However all the ad says is that it is not ok for street use. I don't know why.
