side view with 2nd set of wheels 205/40/16 on the car



close up 205/40/16

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

welcome,i couldnt really choose either of they wheels but the cars a nice colour

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 !!!!!

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.

thought i repost the pics as it didnt seem to work for me

welcome to the zone mate! nice car, looks mint!

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?
paul

1st set are 175/70/14

2nd set is 205/40/16

i will get some pics of the engine bay up soon. ice will be installed when i have the time to fit it properly and make a build in the boot.

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.

Welcome mate,

your just over the bridge from me!

looks smart
i think you should get the 16's sprayed gloss black and then lower about 60ish
that would look proper smart
