Hello,

I've decided the 15x7 bbs' on my car look just a tad too small in the arches, so I'm on the hunt for some 16's. Ideally I'd like me some BBS 3 piece, but I cant afford that! So, can you post some pics up of e30's on 16" wheels?

This is car porn, D90's are definitely a maybe!

Image

Also has anyone any experience of getting xxr's imported?

Thanks

RG = company that maked 16" 20 spoke alpina copys. Only really noticable difference is the centercap lock. They are lighter than originals too. :cool:

You were on the thread when I bought them mick. A lad won them thinking they were real even though in the add it said copys. I let the seller down I asked him for the details of the seller. Made him a silly offer had them coated and i think they look the nuts.

I also did them dark which you couldn't do with the origonal's. :wink:
