Nice wheels rushy, i've seen a few of these knocking about on edition38 and I must say i've been tempted towards them myself. My mate has LM's on his e36 m3 but £800 a wheel is ridiculous. How do you find the ride/handling on these?

Cheers Ajay,

Straight away you feel the difference between these and the BK171s...

As mentioned, i always loved the LMs and as soon as i saw these i had to have them....

Looks spot on mate! Are they a lot lighter than the BK171s? What difference do you notice in the drive?

Absolutely stunning car mate.

Looks amazing on the wheels!

What kit is it that you have? Is it just the sport tech 2 jobbie? (New to the E30's so forgive my ignorance!) :roll:
