hey guys,

ive decided i wanna get bbs split style rims for the e30, but being almost impossible to get a hold of (unless i do a 5 stud conversion) im gna buy some splitties from another company

ive heard that image make good replicas

any others?

im looking for a completely chrome wheel (including the inside bit, sorry dont know the name)- 15" looks kinda small on a cab, so id like to get some 17"!

any recommendations/pics/for sale?

cheers! :)

how would that work mate? is it a lengthy or costly process? and will it affect the car in any way?

i would be getting all this done from a garage, etc so would need to bare that in mind..

all chrome splitties are the way forward :)

dips is the contact i'd be using so i can ask him tbh

im not too fussed about getting original BBS splitties, its more about the look than anything :)

i think i need to fish around or maybe see the alternatives in person (bbs's just look amazing)

i dont know too many makes and models

but im after the splittie look preferbly with an adjustable lip/depth (which i thought was only the bbs rs)

most important aspect is having 17" as 15 would look too small on the cab

These look a good buy

What do you think of yours appletree? Well made? Not overly heavy?

Im after a set of wheels to suit my chrome bumper black 2 door, they have to have a dish and preferably split rim style, these are looking like a potential buy 8)
