Whats your fave guys? Been looking at a few of both and if I was in the market for some it would be a mighty hard choice.


BBS



Hartge

Think I'd probably stick with the Hartges, just because they're a bit less obvious!

Need to get some bigger dishes on my rear ones - can't really say they're up there at the mo, but one day!

hartge mate, not as comon

hartge splits look mighty fine but would hate to choose between the 2. Good luck

Hartge for me too as they aren't the obvious choice and therefore less common.

But if I had the two sets and had to sell one, it would be an impossible choice.

Common or not, BBS are clearly a lot better looking.

BBS all the way!

Hartge splits. You just don't see them that often and they look sweet!

BBS RS's

16" minimum tho..

15"s look terrible.. as you need stupid large tyres.. pointless...

Hartge Split's for sure

only one winner!!

Mr lee, what size are the BBs's and what are they???

BTW BBS's all the time

BBS All the way. Just because the Hartges are rarer that doesn't make them nicer.

You could hardly argue that BBS RS are "Common" Either for that matter!

hartges....easier to clean.

Lol, very good point. Cross spokes are a nightmare!

I'm completely 50/50, cannot choose between them!

HArt....Geh, all the way.

BBS for me, cross spoke design is timeless

Both are
If I could have someone clean them with a tooth brush every week bbs 16's. If I have to clean them it's the Hartger's

You weren't complaining about the sweet Hartge splits on that Calyspo red Sport you were trying to buy


It depends on the car too really. Some cars look better with the BBS and some look sweet with the Hartges. I think I'd prefer the Hartges really with some sweet brakes behind them

These definitly

BBS are boring common design just like Porsche's

Yeah cos porsches are common as muck eh?!

I voted Hartge, but I admit to being biased.
I hate cross-spokes with a passion - so much so that one of the first things I had to do when I got my touring was get rid of the 15" BBS.

The Cross-Spokes are undoubtedly a very complex design. A complete pain in the ass to keep clean. But therein lies the beauty.

If you want wheels that're easy to clean then buy some TSW Stealths FFS!

Here's some evidence in favour of the BBS RS. They're undisputedly the best rim you can get for an E30.

My Car (7J x 16 all Round, soon to be widened)






Some Norwegian Dudes Car (9J Fronts and 9.5J Rears)











And of course who could forget Felgen-Garage's Show Car (9.5J Fronts and 11J Rears )











I rest my case!

you failed to read the word 'design' the porsches over the decades is still look the same as bbs still run with the same pattern only in slight variations of polishing and fitment.

If somethings not broken, don't fix it!

The porsche 911 is a beautiful car in the 993 and 997 configuration.

The 996 is gorgeous too from every angle that you can't see those hideous headlights from!

The Hartge's are much more "boring" in my mind. Still a beautiful rim no doubt, but not a patch on the BBS.

The voting on the poll confirms this.

probably on my own here, but I can't stand BBS's

No you're not

Seany, stop being biased...
If we are using that Norweigan car, how about finding nice pics of his mates car with 10" Hartge splits

You know, I'm going to pick Hartges even if I didn't like them just because you chose BBS


Of course.... you could go all jap drifty spec and have Hartges on the front with BBS on the back

I can't really decide between the two really
