to wide, not enough clearance on the front lock to lock get caught the wheels didnt fit without the caliper being chopped about which made the caliper and carrier unstable, in general just not a correct fitment for a e30 there was to much of a dish on the spokes, if it was a flat faced wire wheel i would of been laughing

I like them. BUT the centres need to be black to bring the polished rims out.

Have you thought about losing the tan vinyl of the horse shoe and having it repainted with just the chrome trim in place...ie all gloss black? OR use some vinyl paint in black to lose the tan? It does now stick out a bit.

The new wheels look really good ... far better then the ghastly wire wheels.
Have to say I'm with the others with the arches ... they don't go with the wheels. ( or anything, come to think of it )

not a fan tbh, they look like a cheap halfords special, and their design makes them look really small.

although not to my taste, and although i HATE alpina reps, they really did suit the look of the car and are by a long way the best wheels i've seen it on
cheers,

harry

thanks for ur honesty harry, U must visist halfords alot bearing in mind these are keskin GT3 rims something halfords would never stock due to the make of the rim, I can highly recormend motorworld for top quality wheels though if ur in the market

You're one of these funny b&ggers who reacts to peer pressure by doing the exact opposite. So if we all jizz on about how great chrome is, you'll remove the magpie fodder??
