Also BK's. Local e30 has them & instantly ruins my day on sight.

Toplines
Bk alpina reps
E36 m3 Motorsport reps
Anything chrome
Most 17s, unless particularly nice or justifiable due to being high quality, lightweight and other mods to suit,
Everything bigger than 17in
Fake RS style splits ( I personally don't mind some lm reps, but all RS or style 5 type reps are hideous )

Fake splits is like having a M3 badge on a normal 3 series. But what really takes the biscuits is this e30 i found on the interweb, ITS NOT EVEN A REAL ALPINA!

Now who would drive such a machine.... there could only be one man...

Anything BBS except the original wheels. Have some fucking originality!
Any setup that includes extremely expensive wheels, with hideously cheap tyres. You just spend about £2k on wheels, is £400 for tyres out of your league?!

I purchased mine with the hockenheims on. Could never justify the money to change them, as I liked them!

My first e30 had horrid wheels like that but not tsw, horrid reps
Id say BK reps, or anything 5 spoke and not dished.
infact this will kick up a storm - Avez As are one of the shittest wheels i have EVER seen

not a fan of anything 17inch, but id say the worst wheels on an e30 reside on this beast:

They are quite horrific. I can see the appeal of bottletops, I like the OEM BBS, RH Toplines have their place but really not a fan of the Alpina wheels.Rich320I wrote:not a fan of anything 17inch, but id say the worst wheels on an e30 reside on this beast:

I generally agree 17s look a bit wrong on an E30 - but sadly this is the route I've had to go! Would rather have gone with 16s but finding an affordable set of 16s, in the right offset, that will definitely fit over E36 M3 brakes is a pain. 17s were quick and easy.

worryingly the owner thinks they are desirable, as they are not offered in with the car but by separate sale

I found out during my stance days the reason you often see Nankangs used as stretched tyres; it's because they make a rounder better stretch than other brandscapnmchl wrote:Anything BBS except the original wheels. Have some ******* originality!
