the most sought after/best looking wheels for the e30?

Thu Jul 10, 2008 10:53 pm

Yea but you can tell by the centre caps mate, and is yours a m52 conversion???

Here is one of my reps

Looks close enough for me

But those reps are rarer than the real deal arn't they?

Thu Jul 10, 2008 10:55 pm

Nope there everywhere over this side

Thu Jul 10, 2008 10:58 pm

Genuine 'pinas get my vote

Thu Jul 10, 2008 11:08 pm

Everywhere over what side? M52 yeah, but rebuilt into iron block for longevity

Thu Jul 10, 2008 11:23 pm

RS are the hottest, RZ are nice as well

Azev A's are ok

Thu Jul 10, 2008 11:33 pm

I like the Borbet B's - also the bbs but I'd go for the Borbet due to not seeing as many e30's with them on.

B'ham

Yet to see at set of BBS E30s on an E30, but they'd have to be up there...

Hartge 16s or the BBS for me. Not feeling much for the schnitzer really - sorry!

btw, the stretch on those ebay BBS is horrific!

I'm gonna get slated for this I know, but it's down to personal preference, and for me it's these babies:

RH Topline's:

Fri Jul 11, 2008 12:03 pm

How about some 17" borbet b's?

no worries mate.. horses for courses and all that... but you opinion seems to be the general consensus here on the zone, schnitzer is an aquired taste... but saying that i phoned the bmwccgb needing advise on how to place a wanted add... i told him what i have got and what i needed(boot spoiler) and they guy was shocked that i had a schnitzer kit in the first place! he wished me the best of luck with my search.

Acquired? I thought you'd always been a bit strange tbh

Fri Jul 11, 2008 2:14 pm

I really like alpinas and bbs rims, but atm. i'm running on Brock B1's which
i think fits nicely.

Fri Jul 11, 2008 5:22 pm

see now my e30 looks alot different to any of yours cos of the bodykit so i got diff wheels for it (khans) but i do love a good set of 'bbs' rims...

Fri Jul 11, 2008 5:25 pm

Sorry guys, but you are all wrong.

Can't believe its taken 3 pages to get to the right answer:

4 x 100 stud 17" split rim hartges.

Nothing better.

Fri Jul 11, 2008 5:58 pm

Guys guys guys..

Its obviously the System 2 M5 wheels in either Throwing Star or Dustbin lid format

Toplines are the epitome of bad taste

Barry these will be something similar to the first 2 pics below:

Anykind of dished wheels suit the e30 shape, i.e. oz split rims:

Well that's your opinion mate, imo they look better than the M5 throwing star alloys thats for sure, along with bk alpina replica's and the like.

I've seen the 5x100 ones for E36's fitted to one E30 and pete has a set stashed away but never heard of 4x100 17" splits.

I thought the ones ste had were 16"? They had black centres right?

Fri Jul 11, 2008 6:51 pm

Hartge 17" 3 piece split rims, 7.5j front and 8.5j rear purchased. As far as I can tell (and Birds, the UK Hartge dealer seem to think) these are a one-off set of wheels (in 4x100 PCD) made for the 1990 Hartge Motorshow car and the wheels that appeared on the e30 in the Hartge literature. They've recently been refurbed with black powdercoated centres.

Barry there is a guy in germany who sells the above mentioned 17" Hartge wheels in the following format (copied from his website)

Sizes: 7,5x17 ET25 und 8,5x17 ET27 pcd: 4/100

Polished lips, chrome screws

A set of heavy nasty Mercedes replica wheels look great on a E30 you're right

Mate I don't want to start a debate here with you, but as I mentioned in my earlier post, it's all down to personal preference, if we all liked the same thing the world would be a boring place.
