The bottle top poll.

[bss325i]

I voted no BTW

Good man!

[rh306]

spotted this one on holiday and it had me wavering on the bottletop and moredoor causes..


I'm flying the flag for steelies and hubcaps though, the ultimate in non-bling pre-bangle bmw retro cool

[jaymos]

I've never heard of people buying bottle tops, just replaceing them but if i had steels then a set of 14" BBS would be prefferable.

are you serious? steelies over alloys? stop taking the p!ss now.

WTF are you on about? Read the post. I said if i had steels i wouldn't buy bottle craps, i would buy 14" BBS for the same price!

apologies i read it wrong

To many people sitting on the fence saying "they only look cool when slammed" or "only on a totaly orginal car"

What about the rest of the time?! They are shit right? So your vote should be no not yes!

calm down, calm down

my car is original so they look cool, so the vote should be yes!

I was refering to Alex and Imy.

An early chrome bumper car suits them as they are a retro looking wheel even a facelift thats uber mint can pull it off, bottle tops on tourings look shit as tourings need a 15" wheel imo and they look wrong. Yes 15" BBS are a better wheel no doubt about it but i would rather have bottle tops over a lot of aftermarket scrap.

Not really sitting on fence, thats my opinion on them. A bit like 14" BBS would look wrong on an early chrome bumper car as they were a later spec thing. digital clocks look wrong in facelift cars etc etc

everyone is different, just because you dont like them does not mean other people dont.

[jonny323i]

i couldnt really decide between alpinas and hartges but ive being as alpinas have copies out there i think i would go for the hartge they stand out in a crowd

[bss325i]

14" BBS were were available from '86 and were the first wheels on tech 1 sports so available on metal bumper cars.

BBS cross spoke what ever size are a retro wheel and suit chrome turds just like any BBS cross spoke.

Facelift cars had digital clocks, 6 button OBC. You analogy was lame.

[Dezzy]

Dan that doesnt look that bad although they were fitted with ballons wern't they?

Come on people you only have bottle top's if you cant afford 15" BBS.

Yes but its lame to say a digital clock doesnt "suit" a later car.

A digital clock is hardly a styling feature!

You should have voted what you think of the wheel, not which one you felt sorry for.

[Ollie_bwoii]

Counting drivel? Shouldnt you be CC'ing it?

I came to the conclusion Alpina's are a bit boring, all the uneducated bruvs want them as thats all they know, the BK scrap does them no favours either, another downside is the size of brakes you cant get under them, and they are a cu*t to clean

Hartge's FTW
