The bottle top poll.
Moderator: martauto
They're not cool, look pretty crap on most e30's imho and don't have anything on bbs's, or other wheels from the likes of 'pina, hartge or schnitzer!

bottletops look cool on a car that has been utterly slammed
They are the least desirable factory E30 alloy.
Values dictate this.
No one wants to buy them when anyone bothers to attempt to sell them.
The look shit.

I voted yes.
Definately better than steelies and wheeltrims - or even worse steelies and no trims!
I agree with you Alex - cool on the right car

No, no, no, no. Any car would look better on a different wheel - 'originality' is the only reason to keep them (even if you'd rather the original owner had been able to / chosen to specify something nicer) and that's certainly not 'cool'.
E30 in need of wiring loom smoke since April '11...
I had a very clean set on my car when I got it, and I thought they looked alright on my very stock-looking chromie. As soon as I got my replacement wheels though, I realised that it was the bottle tops that were really letting the car down. I think E30s really need a decent 16" wheel to look their best.
When it came to selling the bottletops, I put plenty of keywords in my ebay advert and took loads of nice pictures to tempt the bidders (and i must admit, the pictures make them look quite good):
In the end they went for a whopping £46 odd. So it's definitive - they're crap and no-one wants them

They're absolutely awful. We used to put them on any 4-Stud scrap they'd fit on that we took up to the forest to wreck when we were younger. The only redeming feature they have is that they withstand impact pretty well. Which isn't the most useful thing for a road car !

Anyone who knows of an S50 B32/B30 E30 for sale, please let me know.
To many people sitting on the fence saying "they only look cool when slammed" or "only on a totaly orginal car"
What about the rest of the time?! They are shit right? So your vote should be no not yes!
