Sick to death of polishing the BBS's in the winter then need doing again a week later so ive took them off till the weather gets brighter.
These were on my wife's old tomcat, they are 17" Excel's 7j ET25, they dont look too bad and id rather smash these against the gutter in the ice than the Mahles

Here you go, negative comments welcome :D

It dont handle too bad, feel the bumps on the road more with a 40 profile but other than that there fine.

Lol, they are polished lips but they were lacquered, id lacquer the Mahles but it takes the shine off a bit so i prefer raw bare polished alloy 8) just dont like polishing them :(

Timed it just right too, its starting to get white over outside

dont change tis car at all. All of the different parts suit each other. Perfect stance, perfect wheels. perfect colour. Keep it as is. If you do, in 20 years time it will look even better.

Dont get me wrong i would absolutley love a V8 but to get one in an E30 is a bit of a headache,
it still crosses my mind now to do one and if i fell upon a cheap 540i manual the engine rape would be on :cool:
