E30 Zone

Hey, trying to decide if i want black wheels on my 318iS hoping some pics will make up my mind!
thanks

You should try get someting with black centres and a nice dish either silver or polished. That would look very well on a your white is. I'll try and find some pics.

Yeah, ive got a few ideas.. but atm im really liking these





very

Yes, I like those too

They do look very well on that car.

The brake ducts look good painted black with the black IS lip. A nice touch. I'm not a huge fan of white E30s but there's something about that one.

i also like these 3






only thing is this 1 is 5-stud

Not as fussed on those three. If I had to pick one of them it would be the second one.

the original set.. those other ones are gash

Where do you get these from ?
I like them.

I want some too. On ebay there are some sets. Search for "drag" alloy wheels.

The rims on the white e30 in the above pic look wider than 7.5J which is the widest I can find them for sale

I cant find any on e bay.

Them black bmw ones with the silver around the outside are lushh go for them

That looks stunning.

Here's some pics of my old 325.The wheels were Amils 15" 205/55/15,
Perfect fit for E30's.The car had been dropped 40mm all round.

You're not the only one. I've never liked black wheels. They look shite.

theres not many other combo's that do look good imo. colour coded with the car makes it look like its been styled by fisher + price for childrens toys and is not a good look. silver is what woman put on their nissan micras. black or dark greys do look good on red cars and goes with several different coloured cars but any other colour of wheels? i cant think of any that would look good?.

IMO

Black wheels rule, silver generally looks very average.

Some colour coding looks good but bright colours normlly only look good on old school cars .

i.e AE86, mini, mk1 golf

although the gold on met blue as on clio williams and subaru's does look good.

Yes but silver is usually how they come out of the factory, I actually used to like Black centered wheels, But now everywhere i go i see them..........Saxo's, Golfs, Corsa's, E36's and E46's etc etc.
Imo black wheels are just a gimmick which is getting abit like lexus rear lights.

Black on white is a pretty perfect contrast!
I've got a set of these in my shed:



Team Dynamics pro race 2 in 16x7. They will be going on our white 4 door as soon i've got the correct tyres and spacers. They're used, or were used anyway in the MX5 championship, quite a bit lighter than my BBS RX wheels of the same size.
Fairly retro looking as well I think, should look good on the e30.

They actually dont look that bad, They dont look tacky, Alot of the balck wheels you see now on saxos corsas etc look really tacky.

they look tacky because there normally not done properly, like the rest of the car.

Totally off topic but theres a Bentley continental GT that ive seen driving round Manchester, Its a black car with HUGE [red] wheels on

I found these at www.performancewheels.com







recon they'd look sweet!
