8th Set of Alloys, I Think This is It

[cliffybabe]

Since owning my E30 in October 2005 I've had 8 sets of Alloys go on and off of it but I think I'm there now with my latest alloys

My cab as I bought it with my 1st Set of alloys, speedline alloys which where Azev A reps i think





2nd Set: Then I went onto the BBS 15inch Alloys





Also added my tec1 front and rear valance


3rd Set: From there I went onto some 17inch Pina Reps




Then I got the alpinas refurbed cliffy style




One of the alpina's come off all but one bolt whilst going down the M25 i felt a horrible vibration on the front whilst doing 80-90mph got onto the hard shoulder had a look round and took th efront right centre cap off to find that the wheel bolts fell out and had done damamge to the cab. After this i lost interest in the cab for a while and then I was offered a swap for some different wheels

4th Set: My next set from the swpa of the Pina's Where Dayton Style Knock Off's







Ow and r notice theres my cabby tec1 side skirt too (they were well hard to source

I really liked the Knock off alloys but they different fit properly i altered the brake carrier to make them fit, the carrier snapped and I then got offered silly money for them from a irish tv company and flogged them this left the cab on stnads for a week and i then bought Jamz Keskins

5th Set:








Then the perfect wheels for my cabby come up Borbet B alloys they are now in the for sale section, Get the <a onMouseOver="javascript:window.status='plug in';return true;" onMouseOut="javascript:window.status='';return true;" href="http://parrotcoupe.info?v=1%2E21&ss=plug+in">plug in</a> there

6th Set:








7th Set:
Then a set of 9J Borbet B alloys come up so i bought the set in thoughts to create two staggard sets of borbets and sell one of the sets off





8th Set:

Then I decided to try the Borbet B 9J's all round and I was in 2minds keep the staggard or the 9J's all round I knew if let the 9J's go I'd kick myself in years to come so the 9J's all round are staying







Now these have gone in for a Cliffy style refurb and they should be back this week as soon as I've got new pic's ill get them up

Ill be interest to see ur comments on my wheels over the years

Thanks
Neil

you're an indecisive git!
how many times do you get changed before a night out?
i like the staggered borbets best

[adit]

always like the 15 x-spokes tbh neil. have you seen davidt 's wheels on his beautiful silver sport? very you! (there may be pics under the southern meets.)edit: see "hindhead- 9th nov" pics mate

Borbets in 9's flavour are my personal favourites..

I still have a sick liking of the wires though..

[shane325i]

Defo your current set for me matey,tho i cant see them lasting too long

[Daf318is]

Borbet B 9J are by far the nicest -they really suit your car. What's the next set going to be? !!

[mineralblue]

[mikeyboy]

Ditto! Wires suited the rest of the car best...

+1, the wire rims are PIMPIN!

Were they a normal 4 stud fitment?

[SilverShadow]

Wire wheels were the best looking!

Very Pimpin

[ImysE30]

Borbet B 9J's look awesome now

Wire wheels looked amazing though, went well with the car

[Cloggy Saint]

Am I the only one that hates the wire wheels??

[terryphelan]

Borbet 9s are the best of the bunch IMHO, suit the car much more that the staggered look.
The car looks great now.
The wire wheels are awesome, except for the Mad Max center caps. Can you still buy wheels like these to fit an e30?

[Jhonno]

Am I the only one that hates the wire wheels??

Think outside the box..

Tried that, still hate them!

[gazm3]

Set 6, for me but the rear lights are so wrong

[oakey]

Going from the story told in the pictures, it all started going rather council after you went from BBS to BKreps

Looks pretty damn smart on the 9Js though

Looks great in this pic:


^how long ago was that pic taken?

[Dreamracer1]

Never mind the wheels, how many cars you got in the house Neil? Looks like a traders! (By the way, Happy New Year).

Being an old wrinkly I like the BBS's and the Borbet's.

Datourer, your not on your own!

ImysE30 & gazm3, where the f**# do you guys get your avatar's? They make an old man very happy!

I got mine from Google. It is a .gif file

[Lennerd320i]

Borbet B + 9J + E30 = LOVE

Do I need to say more?

[FreddieS]

I want those daytons! goddamnit!

How much do they cost?!?!

[leeparkes]

9j borbets all round look the best!
you got there in the end

[aceraf]

Can't argue with 9J all round, but honestly i think the wires suited the look of your car the best.

Not sure what it is (possibly the chunky tyres or the angle of the pics??) but the B's don't look right for some reason.

+1

chrome compliments them v.well and visa versa.

[Rosc0PColtrane]

What's with the 'moonscape' suspension Neil?

Keskins were my favourite. Looked lovely.

[GrindCulture]

Chrome arches, they spoil the Borbets hugely IMO.

But we all know about your questionable taste in wheels Nath!

[Ollie_bwoii]

Loveing the 9j Borbets and the wires!

Was That an E36 Interior?

[rebelcruiser]

i think it looked best on the wire wheels

[m4xos]

and i thought i was fussy!! lol, definately the Borbet B 9J's!!!!!

[tomson]

Am I the only one that hates the wire wheels??

No, wires are highly council!!

Borbet B's on the other hand look the tits.....

[cliffybabe]

thanks for the comments guys, I did like the wire wheels too but they just didnt fit the car at all so they had to go

Im well pleased cant wait to pick my borbets up on sunday so excited

ur right about the tyres profile ill have to double check the profile when i get them back and go from there, Maybe the archs need to come off But not sure yet

I think the battle of choicing the right rims has got there

[cliffybabe]

Loveing the 9j Borbets and the wires!

cheers dude

yep at one stage had e36 front seats, they just didnt fit correctly and i got a good deal on a full cabby interior for 200notes aswell

[cactusjacks1]
