thought id ask everyone what they think
im getting my e30 convertible, with m-tech 2 kit re-sprayed.
im keeping it the orginal red colour, but iv got 17" alpina replicas on the car.
just wanyted to ask what you guys thought about colour scheme for the wheels?
black maybe with the red car and black roof?
slightly greyish??
diamond cut maybe?

I would keep them original, with a new layer of paint. That way they stick out more.
Thats my opinion

In my opinion for what its worth alpina wheels can only be silver, anything else and they are just multi spoke wheels.

On my bbs i did black centers and red rims. Would really suit a red tech2! Would be harder with alpinas bout could give a nice look. The 17" ones are quite common so no purisist will attack you if you decide to do something with them!
Mine are uploaded on here.

Just got a diamond schwartz 325i (if the guy aint sold it, told him to hold it till i get back to my rock on monday) so gonna just re-do the lips to match!
Your call bud! Personally i'd get some BBS as i prefer the looks. I'd be estatic tho with some genuines
