thinking of getting some 16" none e30 'approved' wheels & need a bit of advice..

Choices are:

ROTA J Mags
Keskin KT1's
Oz Fittipaldis
Schmidt Modernlines
BBS RS
Brock B1

Anyone used any of these and have good things to say?

ok the fitipaldi's are pretty rare but by jingo they're nice

YES-
I love brock b1s,very old skool cool - a borbet dish with nicer spokes. 9 & 10j are common..mmmm...

Keskins tend to look smaller than they realy are and you have to be carefull not to get a small dish,BUT- a bargain wheel.

OZ- Same as keskins with better centre caps.. (but more expensive)

NO-
BBS - cool suits car but a bit common in the e30 world- its a LOT of money to spend and then look the same as all the other E30s at the shows

ROTA J - Im not sure they suit e30s,and because of the big rim and small centre I think like the Keskin- could look smaller than they are.

both are like the clitoris though.. every c&nt has one

I think the brocks are in top spot - I guess I need to see the keskins and rotas on the car.

I added Schmidt Modernlines to the list but the 3pc versions are a bit pricey.

Looks wise (as I have no experience with any of them) The Brocks and Schmidts get the :thumb: from me.
Not in E30s any more :(

You confirmed my thoughts on bbs's they are a bit common also.. Nice on a golf & even nicer on a slammed jetta but that's a different fetish/issue I have winkeye

Schmidts are the bollx but yes a bit pricey..

I was suggesting borbets were clits with my sheep theme -follow like sheep?

Anyone with an E30 who is onto the golf scene will get it right.

E30_turbo has got keskins ,they look realy good...

There is a thread in the gallery (page 4?) called "some of norways finest E30s" - have a gander at that,its right up your street.

I have had borbat a on my old tourong and loved them.
Any bbs are fine with me.

e30 arches swallow up width better than 36's even. Odd seeing they can get away with 15s so well.
If Lenso's did the RS reps in 9j's they would sell a fuck load more imo.
