I need some feedback fellas...Since I finished all repair jobs on my car and get it nearly to showroom condition, it's time to think about new wheels...currently runing on standard 15'' BBS with 205/50/15 tyres...looks good but sometimes just not attractive as much as I would like...I need something new 8)
Aftermarket except Alpina,Hartge,BBS are not my taste, since the car is not council tuned, it's 99% standard and I want to keep it in that condition!

What should I get on it? Alpinas or BBS RS?
Photoshopers welcome :cool: :D

Tough choice, both are good sets of wheels. Whichever you prefer really. I personally prefer the BBS RS's. :cool:
