They don't manufacture 16" A's anymore either. I'm fairly sure some of the larger sizes are still available (18" etc) but obviously totally useless for us lot!

Keep searching :D

I thought I read on a feeler thread recently about someone thinking of selling their 7.5 x 17??

not to big at all.

I had 8x18" alpina reps on my last motorsport cabby, it actually felt better than the 17" reps that i had previously.

No modification required as long as the cad isn't lowered more than 35mm.

Mine is standard at the moment so will see how thy look or will lower it by 35mm.

I can confirm goldy had 18" alpinas on his old motorsport and i think they looked really good, didn't feel to bad on the short drive I took it on neither. I actually have some pics of your old cabby on my phone still goldy.

Personally I think 18's look a bit big. You'd have to drop the car a fair bit otherwise it'd sit too high in comparison and to do that properly isn't going to be cheap and it's a big compromise for road use. 18's on a track set-up would be fine, I just think it's a bit too much for the road. :D

Each to their own but I can comment on it as I have had both 17" and 18" on an e30, I can tell you it looks better and te handling is better than 17's..

I'll see if I candl dig up some pics
