they look like BBS RS? bbs for shows and the pina's for everyday use, much easier to keep nice. Split rims will get ruined being used all year round

i liek them both its a hard one to call, the lenso's a show rim but as si said the alpina r a everyday use, I think if ur only going for basic body work go with the alpinas as the lenso's look to busy if u know what i mean

Considering Selling the Cabby, looks like its gonna go

I say Pinas aswell (Although they are quite common). The bbs copies are just that (copies) and the pinas are the real deal, plus they have wider rears

The Pinas are nice and would suit the car.
But I would still go for the Lenso's, would have to stretch some small tyres over them and lower the car a bit more though. euro style
Mind you I'm always being told I have bad taste
