Just take them off one side and take a pic for comparison. I think you'll realise they take a lot of emphasis away from your spangly new rims.

Deep down, he has always known this...

They do look staggeringly bad next to the deep-dish goodness, but I think he's probably aware of my opinion of them by now! :)

Love the 9J Borbet Bs and the BBS cross-spokes; the pattern just gives the car a classy look that when they were made back then, said BMW. As for the worst, it's got to be those lowrider, ghetto, gangster blingers........I hated them! :mad: Think you call them wires?

The 9j all round borbet Bs are ace but for me they come second cause you cant beat 15" bmw bbs crosspokes on an e30 they look the absoloute t*ts on your car mate and not just on your e30 cliffy on any e30!

So if i were you mate i'd sell the borbets for a decent amount of cash and purchase a mint set of one of the finest set of wheels ever made or refurb your originals if they need it and if you still own them wrap em in 205/50/R15 rubber slick them tyre walls up real nice throw those rank chrome arches in the skip give it the ultimate polish and bob's your uncle you have one of the best looking cab's in the country!!
