BBS RS
Alpina's
Schnitzers

3 of the most beautiful wheels, hard to choose, depents of the look of the car but those are the wheels I find a must underneath an E30.

So i will be willing to spend up to ~$2,000 American.

I'm not really into the borbets. a's are cool but not really what I'm looking for. and I already had a set of these borbets in 16x7.5 and 16x9 but didn't really like them and sold them (this is not my car just a pic of wheels, my touring is white)

and please if you post a wheel you like posta pic, i'm curious

Porsche Fuchs black with polished center star and rim.
Ever since I first saw them, they gave that "German muscle" look.
Polished rim and deep black dish , with some more polished metal just for fun :)

This particlar wheel is a bit grubby, but in good condition, I love them.

Oh damn mate is that yours?

The black, black, black, and more black, with the black tail lights and the polished BBS rims with the black BBS wheel centers looke brilliant.

You know, one of those Heckspoilers in black would round our that back end even nicer too.

Those wheels were just made for that car.

I wish! I love the spoiler-less tail, hoping to get my heck smoothed off in the future. BBS are timeless wheels, I love them.

16'' hartges are by far my all round best wheel for e30.! Yes big 17's and 18's look the part but try hammering round a twisty road with the odd bump n pot hole here and there, It's a nightmare. Nothing beats the drive of standard 15'' wheel and 205/55/15 tyres found on 325i but 16's with 215/50/16 are almost as good and the extra inch is just enough!! :wink:

Agree???

Yeah pricey but nice, got some wheels from them a couple of years ago (for a project I'll never finish probably)

Anyway, sorry, bit off topic!
