ok i picked up a set of rare 16inch Racing dynamic wheels yesterday courtesy of the e30 legend that is known as Kos. Im much more of a multi spoke wheel man really but i cant decide whether to keep these or not! they need a refurd eventually but aint that bad.

iv been offered some hartges for 250 so i dont no what to do, opinions please and dont hold back. il put more picks up later

merry xmas all

i do mate, but out of the r dynamis and hartges id hve the second.

get a hartge steering wheel, gear lever, get some hartge mats made up, then some front and rear badges.

imo its much easier to hartge a car than it is to racing dynamics it.

Like i said when i spoke to you, i like them, but i do agree that they dont look very 'sharp'. Hartages are hard to beat though. I like your new iS, looks smart, and that interior is mint. :cool:

i got them as part exchange for my old smashed up IS so i cant really give a price

they would eventually need a referb, theyv got one odd tyre for some reason but the rest are p7000's

im guna buy some new badges for the centre caps but i mite get BMW ones

i would wont 250 with a new tyre on it an badges, that would give me enough for the hartges but i dunno if im selling yet

as said, they grow on you!

no worries about tyre mate

eagle f1s in april anyway :lol:

the rarety is a factor mate!! they are growing on me everytime i c them as i said. the car pulls badly though but it might have messed up tracking and also tyres are quite worn i think.

first refusal is yours but im a greedy pig and wont profit! :lol:

joking dude if i sell em il let you know

PS Kos still got those schnitzers winkeye

check the tyre pressures, also is the miss matched pair on the front?? that might cause it.

schnitzers not for sale, going on the is, making a few cosmetic changes to it, then when finances permit proper suspension.

mate what you like is what you get, and if they are growing on you keep them, hartges are nice by why not be different, unique is the way.

Hartges! Those RDs may be rare but I think they're rare for a reason - they're a bit shite.

And Dan it's want not wont! :mad:

I didn't like the RD's too much at first, but they do look tough in the metal. Hartge's would still be my pick though. RD's arn't super rare in Australia, but Hartge's are....UK and Aus seem to have a couple of weird reverso things like that.
