Also BK's. Local e30 has them & instantly ruins my day on sight.

Anything chrome
Most 17s, unless particularly nice or justifiable due to being high quality, lightweight and other mods to suit,
Everything bigger than 17in
Fake RS style splits ( I personally don't mind some lm reps, but all RS or style 5 type reps are hideous )

I hate fakes too, luckily i have real split basket weave wheels 8) Like A Boss

Fake splits is like having a M3 badge on a normal 3 series. But what really takes the biscuits is this e30 i found on the interweb, ITS NOT EVEN A REAL ALPINA!

Anything BBS except the original wheels. Have some fucking originality!

Any setup that includes extremely expensive wheels, with hideously cheap tyres. You just spend about £2k on wheels, is £400 for tyres out of your league?!

not a fan of anything 17inch, but id say the worst wheels on an e30 reside on this beast:

They are quite horrific. I can see the appeal of bottletops, I like the OEM BBS, RH Toplines have their place but really not a fan of the Alpina wheels.

I generally agree 17s look a bit wrong on an E30 - but sadly this is the route I've had to go! Would rather have gone with 16s but finding an affordable set of 16s, in the right offset, that will definitely fit over E36 M3 brakes is a pain. 17s were quick and easy.

I found out during my stance days the reason you often see Nankangs used as stretched tyres; it's because they make a rounder better stretch than other brands :mad:
