personally I wouldnt go for anything Chrome Chris
it looks too tacky

I once had 17" Momo arrows on a Lachs Silver sport.

They were stunning!!

I sold the car 4 years ago for just over a grand! What was I thinking??%!!

Black wheels with a silver lip all the way for me.......

Look so right on a white car.

Agree that polishing the lips (oooh errr) would look great but i do loads of miles in it and these are easy to keep clean lol.

Looks even nicer now i have really cleaned it up and fitted smoked indicators. Loving the black white contrast!

Whatever wheels you go for they need to be dark to bring out the whiteness of your car i think

e30bmlover.

When are you going to get the proper sized wheels? Instead of those cheap 15 inch things. :)

The best wheel for the e30 is the bbs rs split rims. End of. Im keeping my set for a worthy car to put them on.

Alpinas are nice of course, hartges suit e30"s also. Standard bbs are great of course.

Im not into £50 council sets.

lol, £50 a set uh??? 15 inch or not they still suit the car better than any other and the fact they are schnitzer. so say if i had a set of 16's you would then say '' why put them on a 320?'' i cant win.
