Personally i think the Lenso's will look awesome. Lovely cabby you got

I'd go with the lenso's if it had to be from those two!!!!!!!

Id go for the lensos aswell, they look to have a deeper dish.

Nice one Imys.

You should see her at the moment, on steels with no seats or carpet looks like a right dog.

lenso's for me

I'd say save up a bit more and get these....

Quality wheels, and look

Or look around and get a used set if you can only work within that budget.

I've heard bad things about the ebay reps....weigh a tonne, and crack the first time you hit a pot hole.

I still remember how amazed i was as to how light borbet a wheels are.

BBS copies are such a classic shape on E30, they will always look good..







the Ronals style are 2nd best IMO

I was looking to set Borbets but no one could answer how wide I could go front and rear before it rubs and sh!t. I want a seemless ride. Any ideas

My touring has 9J front and back on a 60/60 drop and doesn't rub. My brothers cab had the same setup but his did rub but he was using a ebay suspension kit (not hottuning) so that may have been why! I would say to play it safe 40mm on the rear and you should be okay.

You're always best off rolling the arch as much as you can either way just to give yourself that extra bit of clearance.

I will add though, that while my borbet t's go on without spacers, borbet a's require spacers as the rear mating face on them is flat and not curved (as the new borbet wheels are).

That said i've had both borbet a, and borbet t's on my touring, and i much preferred the t's on my touring.

I'll second that, it's gorgeous. Maybe get a chrome kidney grill for chromey days if you have them..
But then again, is chrome like tattoos - once you have one you seem to get lots?

I think the Alpina reps suit it to the T, Keep them, Great cabby!!

i agree i think it looks great with them on, wouldnt change a thing

Lensos are a cheap nasty wheel.

Ronal one the other hand are a quality manufacturer which many manufacturers use for OE alloy.

Genuine alpina, some Hartge, many Ford, VW and other manufacturers are Ronal alloys.

I like Ronal better. Lensos look a bit bling.

ive seen the ronals on a red bmw they looked wicked

theres some 16inch borbet b on germen ebay 7.5 all round

LENSO's ALLLLLLL THE WAYYY!

as cliffy said try get ur self a set of borbet b's other wise think the alpina's look great, u do have a nice looking cab.
