im thinkin about putting 16" Fox Evo 3 Alloys on my 318is. I might be able to get a good deal on a set from a mate, and might be something a little different, here is a quick photoshop, what do you guys reckon?

..or for driving with a low sun. 8O

My fave wheels are Fuchs, Schnitzer and BBS, Aplines look pretty good
on a BM too, which those sort of look like. What did it look like before?

go for it, it will look cool, but only prob, it doesnt have a lip, e30's look better when the wheel has a lip.

Don't do it! Your iS looks much better on the Borbet's you have currently. If you fancy some new rims you can't go wrong with the a set of BBS x-spokes.

Look ok. Wouldn't buy fox though, I'd question the quality?

Also, check the availability for replacement boots, 16" tyres are becoming increasingly difficult to source for sensible money, or so I'm lead to believe.

Why not look at some OZ superleggeras (sp), similar wheel, possibly alot more expensive though.

Last time I got a quote for some 15" tyres I was told that if I had 16s he could do them cheaper.

Apparently more and more cars are being sold with 16s as standard.

The wheels in the pic look OK, but the wheels you have at the moment or even good old 15" BBS would be my first choice.

Yeah thats what I heard but moving up to 17's

The wheels in the photoshop look larger than what 16's would look like to me too.
