so what do you think?

[RCWells]

They look pretty good to me, better than the stock weaves.

[REEDY]

Look sweet mate!!!

[ricco1980]

They look average, ain't seen many e30s around with them, but u could have done better. Just being honest fella

[d6dph]

each to their own ,as i said im getting mixed opinions

[Dan318-is]

dude u got your BSB lyign around ne were?

what u wont for em?

what rubber?

IMHO they look quite nice, whats the ride like at 100 though, i put 17inches on mine an the ride in triple figures is unbearable, even at 80 on some roads i dont liek it?

just wondering

[d6dph]

in what way dude?

[doug325i]

Looking good! nice and original not like me I opted for the safe version and got some Alpinas, Should be arriving on thursday


The more I look the more I like - good choice.

Im loving those wheels, as above, the more i look the more i like them.

[Dan318-is]

above 80 on somme road the vibration through the car is unreal

my wheels are balaned trackign is done and unbuckled

i jsut find that at high speed usually above 80 theres stupid vibration, were as when i had my bbs on it i could comfortably do 120 on the m3 an notice anything

different ofset maybe?

Would those be the wheels you were going to sell me!?!

[d6dph]

no mate, no problems at all. just obviously the ride is a little stiffer.

110mph on the way home (via a private test track!) and not a single problem.

are you suspension bushes ok?

[Dan318-is]

bmwe30mtec no

these are another pair of 17s i have lying about

not checked bushes but surely my car would vibrate below 80 if it was them

im serioulsy thinking in investing in a rear polyerathene set

[d6dph]

hmm, its a strange one. ive of a couple that get a bit wobbly at higher speeds but its normally over 100mph.

did you have the alignment checked, as in castor camber toe in/out etc

[Dan318-is]

toe in/out is ok

caster and KPI iv checked at college

my mate says when he follows me one of my rear wheels has more camber than the other

but the hting is with BBS 14s on at 120 it was fine

so im not so sure if its ne of that, unless the wheels put em out?

[JOSEMI]

they look great m8, normally alloy sets not made for beemers look tacky but those match nicely

[d6dph]

wheel/hub faces are seating properly? spiggot the right size?

just clutching at straws here mate!

[Adam318i]

I dont have any probs with wheel wobble at speed on my 17" Alpina reps.

I used to get real bad wobble from the front but have changed to brand new Khumos all round and the ride is sublime.

My mechanic pointed out when you spun one of the front wheels you could see that it was egging (sp?) in certain places and thats why i was getting so much wobble.

Oh, those wheels look fooking sweet mate, what are they, and are they brand new, and cost?

[d6dph]

yeah they are spanky and new! been sitting in the workshop since thursday but ive been too busy to put them on!

they are team dynamics omega's, and i wish i could tell you the price but i cant. sorry

[TW166Y]

nice buddy

[d6dph]

thanks twiggy. most people seem to like them so far! which is good!

[Moofles]

i think they look quite good mate, if they had a slight lip like the alpina reps in twiggy's sig they would be so so nice - but nice anyway mate - well done!

[woodysjw]

Hello Dave mate

They look so cool I knew they would,

So glad u didnt go down the easy route and get some alpinas.

[TouringMatt]

I wouldnt have thought they'd have worked but they look good

Btw Twiggy, your Touring looks shite......i'll do you a swap and save you the embarresment of driving it

[jonb]

the wheels are wrong.

whats wrong with the bbs. as per your sig? it looked fine?

as said before, only certain wheels belong on the e30.

bbs(cross spokes/split rims), alpina, hartge, and my personal favourite zender turbo alloys(but im on my own there).

schnitzers look terrible on the "30.

[Karan]

yeh keeo it BBS man.... but its a personal thing really

[d6dph]

thanks for the comments guys. mostly good, a few bad.

wheels are such a personal choice that i didnt expect so many to like them. i like the original wheels but fancied something a little more modern.

Each to their own

[jacko]

Hi all, i put a set of alpina reps (brand new with tyres) on my cab today and now the old girl shakes like fook over 60. Don't think i'll be keeping them unless ifind the reason. BTW i like the wheels dave.

[d6dph]

thanks mate. did you fit the spigot rings? the help the wheel centre up sa you tighten the bolts?

[jacko]

yes i made sure of that, i thought the shoulders on the bolts would have seen to that.

[hydrospeed2000]

Like the wheels, LOVE the EURO Bumpers, Whish I could get rid of my U.S. spec bumpers and find some Euros........[/img]

[jonb]

[hydrospeed2000]
