i must first put that iam 23yr old and although i dont think its a bad look im not that interested in the old skool look, i like to be different.
here is my car at the moment with 16 inch original alpinas, front tyres are low profiles but the rears are more like the tyres you find on a 5 series as they seem huge and i think make the car look like a drag car
and here it is with 16inch momos on that iam wanting

worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do but it never really gets you anywhere

prefer the alps to be honest. have you thought of somthing like borbet As or avez As. their not old skool but their bug and clean. maybe colour coded with polished lip.
just think the momos look a little bit like an after thought on such a nice cab

Alpinas for me. Modern style wheels just dont go with the shape of the E30 in my opinion. The only wheels that I think that suit are the original BBS wheels and the nice deep dish wheels for Germany.

borbet c and azev a are two wheels that i think suit the e30 aswell, but i still go with the alpinas as my favourite

Alp's for me, but i do think the Momo's would look better in silver Alloy.
Can't stand black wheels Ԛ¬!!!!!!!

Wheel hub spinners. I've seen a couple on Datsun Sunny's and they look fantastic. Especially in 5x11" wheels

He is being different as his Alpinas are real and 16" not 17"

mate dont change em to those momo's one they look horrible, no offense to you at all just won't do your car any justice and we guys on here dont want you to make a wrong choice! If your looking for a decent set of after market wheels to stick on your cab you need something classy but not OTT. I know most of these guys love their standard look i.e. Alpinas but if want a bit of individualism have a trawl through those car mags see what style of rim there's going and if you decided on a few post pics up and we'll give you an honest opinion! Choosing rims for mine was hard enough but I think it paid off just browsing rather than buying it on impulse.
