Keep it looking stock as a rock. I said "LOOKING". Its still getting the 2.7 built with the 885 head, cam, chip, headers, and all the go fast goodies. Give it a respray chuck some adjustable coil overs under it. Im going to find a set of steelies have them widened at the rear put the hub caps back on and thats it..

Still looks grandma, I believe the term is sleeper lol

Gets so attention from the fuzz, can park it anywhere and as far as everyone is concerned its a well looked after E30 the granny has had since new..

Love it

VW steelies would be best, as due to the offset they'll sit quite far in the arches, ideal for the sleeper look if you're getting them widened as they wont poke out of the arches too much.

I also think some Renaults have 4x100 15s.

So I spoke to some guy today who I know has done this before and hes words were "to easy" he even showed me a few sets he has done before, even advised me of the best and safest way to do it... So its all systems go from here..

These hub caps look great 15inch

So im thinking 8 inches at the back and 6.5 or 7 up front what are your thoughts?

Might look something like this lol

Personally think it would be a shame to cover up banded steelies with hub caps! Just my opinion though! :roll:
