Hi, My E30 is lowered 60mm. I 've been looking to put some nice shiny new wheels on it to offset the Rat look my car has taken on, (some naturally some by design!) I figured even if the car is now 200k+ miles and looking old, it's probably beyond economic restoration, but a nice set of wheels can still be removed and sold on at a later date. I have been looking at the BBS RM and RS models. Currently the car is running on BBS 15" wheels, rear tyres 205x55x15 and front 205x50x15s (not 55s otherwise the tyres rub when turning). Any advice / recommendations gratefully received, to save on trial and error mistakes!

A pic of your car as it stands may help to influence the choice...
