it's a reasonable price, but theyre only rms, and they won't look any good on an e30 unless it's too low to drive.
unless you like the rollerskate look

cheers,

I would say don't buy them, as £650 is pretty high price for original 6.5' and they also look pretty small on e30 (specially with mtech2 bodykit)....talking from experience as i had set of these.
As Rav said if RM they must be with proper dishes...i saw staggered set 8/9 for £750 not that long ago

Sorry, didn't look at the price, you shouldn't be paying more than £400 for a set of 6.5j's

If u wanna keep car standard then go for origo 15 (but with mtech2 u need proper lowering)....or try find Hartge or Schnitzer in 16inches

16" x 8j in E30 ET's
Look for "Stance Wheels" and UK shops that sell them, AFAIK only one UK outlet at the mo.

Not sure Matt on price, if you look at the websites, it asks you to phone for a price, and staggered no, only 16" x 8j.

The place I just rang "projex" said they are 850 for the 16's WITHOUT tyres! They are nice as rav said, but think what you could get with 850 quid.

you most certainly did, how was the rest of your day?
as for RM's ideally you're after 001's, they're much much lighter than 002/012's, 7j std and a flat diamond cut face
