BBS RS with a 4inch dish on the back an 2 on the front.

I have yet to see BBS LM on a non M3.

top lines or some really deep borbet rim

but these are not very costly considering money isnt an issue here

i believe deep dish is the way forward.

but depends what other mods you've done aswell,

how is 'imagination' going to improve on perfection :wink:

there are other wheels i like a lot, but nothing suits quite as well as a good set of RSs

or maybe a set of proper 18in magnesium dtm wheels :D

each to their own as everyone will have a different opinion to which is the best so there is no best to everyone, in my opinion i'd say azeva but it depends on the body kit, touring/saloon? etc

I would LOVE to see a set of these on an E30! (17" ideally!)

Seen some in 18" on a Z1 and they looked stunning! Think they might suit an E30 too if the ride height is 'just right'..... :D

there are lots of nice wheels out there
the "tuners" wheels eg alpina hartge etc all look good

then there are the timlesa ones which look good
azev a's
borbet a's b's (need to be flat cap and dished) and c's
brock B1's

and off course bbs rs 16" with a dish

MK motorsports are tough and rare
BBS lm's like wise
BBS RC 1 peice et 20 which pan out

these ^^ are rare wheels and not often seen on e30's

Liking Kos's schmidt assault :cool:

Zedone there are a set of those Keskins for sale on edition38 for sale atm iirc. Worth scanning through the classified to see what pcd?

Anything 9j or up with dish gets my vote.

Maxfield worth the effort but they are far too big. Some fat 16" Schmidts would be amazing on a e30.

Best looking 'rim' on an e30 is a dished one.

Best looking WHEEL on an e30 is a set of honda fit borbet something-or-others sprayed black.

Borbet Bs or BBS splits timeless.

Black rims rock man, almost anti bling 8O winkeye

Have quite a fetish for gold rims too, BBS splits or Borbet Bs with gold cross spokes look cool, been done but i like.

Thought about doing my azevs gold but on silver would look very Gay, garan!

A mate of mine has pretty much those wheels on his mk2 g60 'rallye'.

At £2 for each plated bolt and 180 (iirc) bolts in total its not a cheap mod! But well worth it... would look even better if the wheels were black. winkeye

still look good on a decked e30,

not to keen on black centres on them though, black inserst on these look good, and easier to clean!!
