White wall tyres on my alpinweiss Tech-2 convertible, with Alpina alloys?
Unconventional. I've been thinking about it. Might look good. Might look shite.
What say ye?

Whitewall tyres only look good on hotrods and 50s American lowriders. Even then they're a bit touch and go.
Not in E30s any more

I don't think it'll quite suit the E30, but may suit a convertible more, but still a big no no in my books.
You should maybe get a photoshoped version and then post it up here, and get some better opinions.
From what I can imagine now, I do't think it'll look good.

You're all...
correct!
I photoshop'd a picture of it, and it looked so abhorrent, I didn't even want to save/upload/show it. Spoiled the car rather like a gorgeous woman getting a dog poo on her chest and shoulders.

I reckon whitewalls on a slammed bronzit chromey with a roof rack and domed wheel trims could work
