Having just gone to BBS's myself, I think those Motorsport BBS's look really really nice on your car Adam.

Deffo the BBS for me too, I really don't think the keskins suit the car.
The car looks mighty fine in the first pic! 8O

Your sport would still probably look nice with bottletops on it Adam...

As it is I like the Motorsport style BBS...looks wicked with those on it.

Post up some pics with the Keskins on the Cab and the touring (that'll keep you busy for a while) :lol:

The only thing with the sport and BBS's is, because the back is so chunky, with the big rear spoiler, big bumper, deep valance, is that the wheels don't look quite phat enough, with BBS RS's though......

Or with the rear spoiler removed, a la euro stylee, it'd look cool.

This is all from that top picture, because the car has such a low aggressive stance, especially at the back.....

Anyone know what I'm on about? :lol:

i'm a fan of the alpinas tbh, they really suit the lines of the e30. the bbs's are definately class and won't go out of fashion.

however, your new ones have great potential. once the rest of the car is more 'euro' then they'll look a lot better. it'll definately be different and without having to be max-power cheesy to manage it!

stick with them, they're a grower! :cool:

the motorsport BBS's do look very very good.

but

the the keskin's would look the dogs with no boot spoiler, and maybe some badge removing.

Definitely the BBS at the moment, but with the rear spolier off the new ones would suit it a lot better :thumb:

I think I'll keep all of them so I can chop and change as I wish.

I also have some 15" polished MIM Alpines but haven't got round to fitting them on the car yet :lol:

They wouldn't suit it. They need plenty of chrome to go with them... & preferably (henna) red paint...! :thumb:

I might actually be getting rid shortly because I'm running rapidly out of space here. If you're interested then give me a buzz. My brothers storing them on his Mk1 Golf at the moment :lol:

They don't rub with the car stationary, it's not driveable at the moment so I'm not sure about when cornering etc.

You gotta dare to be different ... Keskins for me. As it is, but poss with some fatter tyres for the 9J's.

Tough choice but BBS can do no wrong for me . Sweet looking motor with any of the 3 wheels though mate

maybe a 225 tyre on those 9j keskins? it's a bit close to what the tyre should be? but i like the bbs, the best out of those 3

I'll definately be interested, despide being broke atm!! I've seen the pic of em on the Golf... they look almost as good as they do on an e30! :D He doesn't fancy a set of TSW cross-spokes instead does he?! :P

I'll keep a look out for em! :thumb: Not the best of times to be lookin though - severe lack of Ԛ£Ã”šÃ‚£ & space at the mo!

you don't need any extra space ziggy, they just fit where the cross-spokes went on the car :teehee:

so with that sorted (no need to thank me), now you just need to find some cash!!!

Someone giva that man a medal! :jester:


Or alternatively, buy my capri, set of wheels off it, old e30 interior & set of bottletops, & I'm sorted! :mad:

Actually, I do like my TSWs - probably more than BBS even - better offset & they look better without caps too... But I *will* have some MIM 1900s at some point - preferably Adams!

edit; I've done a quick photoshop & I can't make my mind up which I prefer now! I'm sure the mims'd be best in the metal though...
Think I'd better leave that for another thread - this is probably :offtopic: enough!

Aaaaanyway, the BBS get my vote on Adams car as it is... but despoilered & sitting properly low, those Keskins will be awesome I bet. It's just a whole new look you can give it when you feel like it!
