Alloy wheel recommendations for E30 M3

[ImysE30]

Seeing as RH Toplines are getting sold, what other wheels do you reckon would look good on a E30 M3 convertible?

Azev A, Borbet B, BBS, Alpina?

Budget is around £800 so no RS's

[harry_p]

£800 should get a really nice set of staggered style 5s.

Should be able to get a set of alpinas or hartges for that too, as 17in 5 stud versions don't seem to make as much as other sizes or fitments.

Even deep dish style 32s look good.

Avoid Azev and borbet like the plague.

Standard

BBS RM's

[ImysE30]

I don't do standard, I have 16" BBS but they'll be winter wheels.

Don't think RM come in 17".

What about Contour's or E34 M5 wheels:

[Rav335uk]

BBS RM's

Yea, good luck finding 5x120 in RM's...

[harry_p]

Contours will look crap.

M5 wheels can look good

[M-Sport]

E34 M5 throwing stars

[bab-91]

BBS RM's

Yea, good luck finding 5x120 in RM's...

Fill and re-drill. Grand job!

Only said RM's based on budget and will hold their value!

[bab-91]

Actually I have a set of wheels that would look brilliant on a m3!

[capri_rob]

Azev A, Borbet B,

Alpina's are timeless, they look the t1ts on the M3 - you know it makes sense

[Fal_325i]

Style 5's Imy, especially in staggered fitment as mentioned by Harry, a timeless wheel.

[bab-91]

Style 15's!

[Kos]

Style 5's are over done

BBS RK BBS RX BBS RC BBS RS2 would be be a better choice

[leeparkes]

E34 Alpina's

[lyricalnut02]

pina e34s ftw

[Fal_325i]

The BBS Style 5 wheels has been overdone, yes, but it suits the e30 m3, a classic wheel in my eyes:-





The BBS RC is also a nice wheel and suits the M3, even better in concave fitment (bottom picture, rear wheel)

[swindler]

If you can't stretch to RSs then the standard 16" BBS from later cars

[Fal_325i]

Agreed Alpina's in 17/18" form also look good:-

[Cypriotgeeza]

give me some deep dish anyday!

IMO alpinas are overdone..


they would look the nuts especially against the white bodywork

[Sjoerd320i]

E34 turbines ftw!

[pacerpete]

E34 turbines ftw!

THIS ! 2 sets of covers in stock, will be Ebayed very soon !

[Andy325i]

E34 B10 Alpina's

[Kos]

AC splits are also a stunning wheel

[zd3bx]

If you like BBS RS, then you could get some replica ones like Dare RS. They look pretty decent, but I can't comment on quality as never had them myself. About £400 for a set, plus tyres, so £800 would be more than enough.

Oooh, how much?

[Rav335uk]

AC splits are also a stunning wheel

I just sold my 18" AC splits a month ago.

[ImysE30]

What you got left Rav?

E34 Turbines, like the one's on Harry's M3?

[Rav335uk]

I have a set in 17" splits

[ImysE30]

What wheels, ACS?

[Rav335uk]

Yep.

[ImysE30]

Are they a million dollars?

[Rav335uk]

No, i'll discount them for you.
I'll knock off $1

[ImysE30]

Done deal, when can I pick them up?
