Right, I'm in need of a set of new wheels for my touring. But which ones?

-stick some new tyres on my 17"alpina's (kurbed alot and a bit tired)?

-18" alpina reps like wilson325i's tech1?

-15" BBS' with some really nice tyres? (Scott325se has got a set with black centres)?

-Borbet A's?

-Team Dynamic pro race 1.2's (multispoke and lightweight)?

-or??????????? :mad:

I've got a slightly untidy set of BBS' for track/sprint days :drive: but I don't want to use these for daily driving.

Any nice suggestions welcome. :thumb:

BBS or Alpinas on tourings are the right way to go. The black centres would be even cooler IMHO.

As for style thats up to you but I would use original wheels rather than replicas and stick to 15" or 16"
