Nice wheel but wrong man, really wrong on an E30.

The cardinal sin of styling is to put wheels from other models on. Like when you see E46 MV1/2's on E36's.

Plus 17's are too big, 18's are chavvy.

I just read that it's not your car - they're f****g horrid.

Too big, too fussy looking, original 16" Alpina's look much better on an e30 imo.

Can't even compare those Alpinas to the BBS or Hartges!

They don't look right on that car at all, far too big for an E30.

All my in personal opinion of course :)

Anything above a 16 is to big for an E30 18's are just plain stupid unless you have a proper pimp wagon init :?

18"s are a better ride than 17"'s..

trust me on that, better road handling and less bumpy.
I've had 17" Azevs, 17" alpinas..18" are by far the most comfortable compared to the others, apart from 15" bbs of course.

17's and 18's are both wrong on an E30 unless you have your car full of your bruvs and like to say brap alot

17/18" look the sh!t...but nothing beats handling/ride like 15/16" :D

Its a compromise..

Agreed. 15s or 16s at the absolute most. That doesn't even make any sense.

not exaactly the best wheels for an e30, as they just the normal pina reps, lookalike....with some studs....

Pretty sure there are much nicer ones out there....but unfortunate for us not as many in UK

each to their own, I have 18's on my cab but can guarantee you I would never let any "brovs" in my car!

Listen you prick, who the feck are you talking about?!

"sounds like they are already in"..

does it really? if you don't have anything constructive to say apart from your one liners then why bother saying anything?

This thread was about what people think about the wheels in the picture, not about "brov's" or "pimp my ride".

Got something to say about the wheels, feel free, got nothing better than a petty little one liner then shut it.

Lol! Whoaaa! You have to admit, it was an AWESOME one-liner.

Focus that rage into your hands and use that new found strength to rip the 18's off your car lol.

Cool your jets man, you didn't get all uppity THE FIRST 3 times it was insinuated did you!

Use wit instead, it's more fun.

I agree - I think that anything above 16" is ott - I put lenso bsx 16" on mine - they are very similar to BBS - this as about as adventurous as I get from non original equipment.
