So i found out today my OZ's are buckled beyond belief (I'm chasing up the buyer...). But now I have my eye on these rather sexy Fondametal rims, with adapters.

Image

They are 15x7, so same size as OEM BBS, and I have some bigger tyres to go on if need be. My question is, do you think they'll suit an E30?

They remind me of sexy, better BBS RA's:

Suggestions welcome, but I do have a budget, so no £1000 Split rims for me :(

PS: They'll be going on a Laser Blue Touring (like below VV)

I voted yes cos they do look like sexier RA's... depends on price tho, wouldnt spend mega bucks on them.

Why would you need adapters? look like golf fitment to me, good to go... spacers maybe?

Get the stance sorted on the touring and they'll be mint :)

Yeah, they are 5x130, but adapters are included in the price, and it's a pretty good price at that!

VeinAST - stance is what it's aaaaaall about! As soon as my insurer won't rim me for mods (next policy) the touring will be going down as low as I can practically drop it :D

I like them but I would rather have a nice set of original bbs's with BMW center caps.

They are both good looking wheels but personal choice is the BBS. Your call though :mad:

Mahles! I've got a set FS, but theyre 14" and 5x120 so not ideal e30 fitment...

They look ace though and nice bit of dish, I think they suit the e30 better than those Fondmetals. :)

I like them quite a bit. Personally too narrow for me, but with a good stance will look mint.

Darker silver centres, and a polished lip and they will be :drool:

Uni is killing the project.
