personally i like the pinas.

few peeps will say everybody has em but the car suits them so well.

plus where i live i'm lucky if i see another sport let alone one with the same rims

IMO Azev As are the ultimate wheel for the E30.

Alpina reps
a) Don't look that good anyway
b) Are far too common

Azevs look OK.Although they can somtimes look a bit chav tbh.On just a standard E30 i think they suck. On a nice dropped sport, with a polished lip they are sweet.

lol, i dont even need to answer that, everyone knows what is the best between them, personally i think the best wheel for an e30 is, "AND NOT IN ORDER BY THE WAY BEFORE ANYONE STARTS" LOL azev's, toplines and borbet all three are unbeatable!!! ok if i had to choose id say the borbets deep rim on a topline alloy :lol: :lol: make that wheel and you end up with quality :wink:

i can clearly see from the picture that your have the more rounded spokes. they are different from the azev a"s pictured above. they look different.

those topline things are council.

Azev A's R the best wheels for E30 & MK1 Golfs - they are the B0ll0cks - end of discusion - Although Alipna's look soooooooo good 2.

Either wheel will make your car look the b0ll0cks - it depends what are avaliable at the time & how much u have to spend

I've got 16 - they look ok - but 17 R the way forward - IF you can gety hold of them

This may help - or not
