Toplines have to be the single worst wheel on an E30, Sorry!

Harry was spot on there.

HID's don't work!

They are a fake Xenon short-cut, spewing light everywhere and blinding people - they will be an official MOT failure in 2010 and I think are illegal to purchase as of now!

PROPER Xenons are focused via projector lens and auto-leveling depending on load.

Plus, they don't look good on E30's, they are not a period feature (he said adjusting his frilly cuffs)

Facelift E30 lights do have projector lenses & I'd rather everyone had a manual level adjuster knob (fnar fnar), rather than the auto ones that never seem to be set up properly. The aftermarket kits do work, very well indeed - I'd have thought they'd have been the sort of thing you'd appreciate. You don't have to have some silly blue colour, you know.

Xenon is the gas used in HID lights - that's not a different technology.


Anyway, your list doesn't have anal-eyes on it, so I can't take it seriously.

The car now stops!! and drives a million times better. 16's or below are the way forward.



Toplines are **** though..I'd rather run the Momo's

17's are also absolutely fine if you run decent ones with proper sized tyres.

no no no no no no no no no :mad: - personal preference on the toplines (fair do's) but 17's don't run well - sorry.

Thank god for that! Asthetically hanging an Aldi's bag full of Dog do off the ariel would have looked better than the arrows on the sport.

Exactly.. As Bob says.. We arent talking 17" BK or Topline scrap here.. Talking quality 17's, I can guarantee my 17's drive absolutely fantastically, better than any Topline and the like scrap.. The turd is driven properly also..
