For a while I have wanted to upgrade to 16inch wheels on the 30. Although the Ronals I have are one of my favourite styles for an e30 15inch looks a bit lost with the Alpina cow plough and pending tech 1 skirts.

I don't fancy the cost and hassle of a 5 lug conversion and I'd like to keep the basket weave look. But I don't have £1500+ for BBS.

So with all the above in mind I'm quite intrigued by Klutch SL1's...

Opinions?

A good compromise or am I a council dubber stance wroungun for even considering it?

Imo, this is the latest in a long line of chav/council rim, just like the lenso's or dare's on offer.

Alright if you're a dub/stance c*ck.

I did think they looked nice on the white chromie convertible that was on here a while ago though.

:lol: fair game, I think the Ronals will be staying for the time being. I actually really like Hartge wheels but having the cow plough kinda rules those out.

They look like an OZ Turbo copy, but without trying to look like a split rim, which I think works in their favour.

I personally like the klutch sl1's, and will be ordering some soon. Each to their own really! If you like them, doesn't matter if people say they're 'council' :D

Like those Appletree.

I should have said whatever wheel, if any I change to will not be larger than 16 inch, will not have to have copious amounts of camber to fit under the arch and will be fitted with the correct width of tyre. Each to their own but I am not a fan of stretched tyres and suspension deletes.

On that front I did pick a bad example of the Klutch SL1's
