no modified bottletops, id only have alpinas if i had an alpina car

I think they're cool because they're retro, in the same way the e30 is cool because its retro, you can get 'better' wheels than bottle tops in the same way you can get 'better' cars than the e30, some faster better handling more reliable etc. The point of cool is that it is cool, not that it is the best.

Very rough photoshop. But I think it's half decent.

[Ollie_bwoii]

That car had already had the springs cut by 80mm.

You appear to have turned a bottletop into an Audi 80/Coupe wheel

[capri_rob]

That looks just right.

[StuBeeDoo]

I can't be ar53d to read every post on every page here, but I have questions.

Is it the design of the wheels that offends so many people, or the fact they are only available in 14"??
If they were made in 15" or 16" in 4x100, would they be any more acceptable?

If this has been covered earlier in the thread, please accept my humble apologies.

[B7]

Now that DOES look shit!

[B7]

That looks just right.

Agreed. I reckon BBS would spoil the "pureness" on that.

[Dezzy]

In 16x7.5 they would look the nuts. In 14" they just look lost

[rh306]

If you didn't like BBS or bottletops, you could always have specified these Only available from '90 onwards I think though

[Dezzy]

[Ollie_bwoii]

OH WOW. Now that does look fantastic.

I think that will be my new inspiration shot for my chromie.

The styling of them, they look horrific!

[StuBeeDoo]

The styling of them, they look horrific!

That's my take on it as well, I just wondered if many people feel the same.
Seems to me that most people here want to put 15s, 16s or 17s on their E30s. TBH IMHO some of the 16s and 17s I've seen on E30s are shocking styling-wise. "Council"!! .....Even worse from a styling point of view than Style E30s aka bottle-tops. That was why I wondered if anyone would accept larger diameter Style E30s.

Style 10's. Malcolm has a set of these. Bough from me. Also available in 5 stud for an e34 / 32.

I actually quite like these as a daily wheel. especially when they are finished as nice as that. Easy to clean, OEM and strong.

I rather like Style10s. My main reason for wanting to go to 16s was the far better chioce of tyres in the correct size.
If 205/55x15s had a better chioce, or if 205/50x15s were the correct size for E30s, I would have stayed with 15s and looked-out for a decent set of Style10s.
I only had 2 choices of 16s - Hartges or Azev A - luckilly, the Hartges came along first.

[Morat]

If bottletops were available in 15x7 I'd be happy with them. BBS look fantastic but bottletops are much easier to keep up. Now, if bottletops were 16x8 and BBS 15x7 only......

[sihooker]

It's my opinion too. Bloody US spec ghastliness!

That interior is fantastic, as is the engine bay and the wheels

Edit: oops, was talking about 19K beige motor...missed two pages

I agree, i was just trying to make a point to jaymos but i think it went over his head.

I did wonder because i have only ever heard negative revues, mainly from the Americans who have to suffer them...

I know that you dont like bottle tops, but i'd never accuse you of having no taste at all.

That US car in the link hasn't got alot going for it, beige, us bumpers, bottletops! Its only saving grace is that its a 2dr!
