ok, so when i bought my car it can with some lovery kahn 18" alloys, not really to my taste but there was plenty of tread on them so ive been rotating them till there getting low, now i want to find somthing a little more subtle but need some help, all i find are newer bmw wheels like e46 or alpinas, there mush be some other choices?

i oftern google image, but google has gone down hill latly and just shows me a load of crap when i type in any keywords without knowing the alloy name :(.

Original 14inch BBS are the best cost effective wheel, if you have deep pockets some BBS splits also look great on an e30

Prepare for a million threads telling you that ONLY BBS look good on an E30. They do look good, but I think quite a few retro wheels fit too, they just want to be in keeping with the car.

A member on here has Rota Grid V's. First time i'd seen this wheel and i think they look fantastic, something a bit different.

Pictured here on an E21 :cool:

Back in the early/mid 90's a friend had a Diamond Black 325i Sport (Tech-1) which had been lowered and fitted with a set of 17" Venoms and it actually looked great at the time.

The Wiki need updating with 15" Hartge wheels (I don't know how to do that)

Sorry best photo of them I have.
I think the 15" Hartge's on my car are actually E21 wheels as they have the wrong offset but they still fit.

It all comes down to personal taste. I like the fact not everyone likes them that way they are a little unique.

Not possible to be "a little unique" they are either Unique or they aren't :)
