Looks tidy, get some 15" bbs and leave those lights alone!

Nice looking car mate, i especially like the colour. To be honest i'm not keen on either set of wheels, but the second set are better. It could do with being lowered!

First of all Welcome !!!!!fuzzy wrote:welcome,i couldnt really choose either of they wheels but the cars a nice colour
Wheels a personal choice but the first set IMHO (in my humble opinion) look better.
Anyway, enjoy the Zone, post up with your questions and normally you will get good replies.
Enjoy !!!

the first ones are better styled but look a bit small is what i think. nice motor otherwise. if you sell both sets i don't reckon you'll be far away from enough cash to choose whatever wheels you want. just an idea.

well the wheels are for sale at the right price. 1st set are almost brand new tyres on them.
thank you for your opinons i like the second set as they look alot lower on wheels but i reckon a nice set of lowers on them would do the car a treat

so what size are the other set? 14s or 15s ?? if both sets have good tyres you should raise a bit on ebay...
any pics of the interior and engine bay? any ice installed/plans?

Hi I would go for BBS I think they look the part for your car.
As for the rear lights keep them as is.
The only thing I have done to mine is colour code the mirrors.
Some people say that Halfords is not any good for paint but the paint I got was a better match than from a car paint supplier.
I am waiting for my mechanic coming back from holiday to fit new front shocks,then it might not ride so high at the front.Also thinking of front fogs.
205/40 is a bit small for the e30 - 205 should be 50 profile. you'll gain a little acceleration but your speedo will be a bit out. see tyre size calculator - it claims 7.2% too slow for your speedo.
