most hated wheel on a e30

[age]

i hate 3 spoke alloys, any size, any colour, any dish, they are just pure 80's naff.

[AndyZippy]

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

wow. i just threw up a little bit.

Ditto, those are just plain bad!
Always think 17's look a bit too big myself too, something about the e30 looks way too monster-truck like once on anything above a 16.

[ross2009]

nothing wrong with borbet As

[Rav335uk]

Sooooooooo much luuurv for my car.

[magpie]

nowt wrong wit RG alpina reps .




16" and 20 spokes

[Funnybear]

Ok. Ok. I'm sorry, I'm running seventeen alpina reps. I bought it like that ok! I'm spending enough on the car as it is without having to worry about whether my wheels ain't fashionable. They look alright, if a bit battered and bruised, and fit into the wheel wells well. (Say that repeatadly).

One thing I should say about them if anyone is planning on putting 17inch wheels on is, DON'T! Well, you can if all you desire from your car is bone jolting ride, pot hole avoiding on an epic scale and snap oversteer which can be a bugger to catch sometimes. If none of those things appeal then stick to what god deems to be the correct wheel size of 16 inches.

Any suggestions for a low slung black convertable? I am looking for replacements. I just have no idea about wheels.

I think 17s aren't quite right on most e30s.

I think people give BBS RS reps far too much stick. Having owned a set of BBS RM's I know how much they cost, how much of a nightmare they are to keep clean and how terribly depressing re-polishing them can be.

A lot of reps are bloody good these days and you don't have to mess about re-polishing them. Yes they may not be as well built as BBS and they may have issues down the line with lacquer, but they're so cheap they're almost disposable.

Borbet A's can look good on e30's but they don't suit every e30.

Ronal teddy bears!

I still have an old VW accessory brochure somewhere with of these badboys in, I'd imagine they're worth a fair bit now though, despite looking like this

They are seriously speshul

[harry_p]

You can still buy them brand new from ronal. 14in only though.

[zd3bx]

I bet they would get you laid on the first date...

[Grrrmachine]

With the right valve caps on those teddy wheels could be highly suggestive...

[ImysE30]

I love Toplines

15" BBS look sh1t

[Jim320i]

Top lines are dog bob

[ImysE30]

Haterz gonna hate

[ross_jsy]

Not really haters, bruvlines are just shit and everyone knows it.

I have a soft spot for Ronal Teddy's. A friends missus has them on her Lupo and for a girls car I think they are awesome! Wouldn't put them on mine mind

[Low_E30]

For all you BK haterz....

[harry_p]

Yep, they look just as shit on old fords as they do e30s.

[George]

E36 M3 Motorsport reps

Agreed.

[DanThe]

[driftwood]

Two styles of wheels that look proper shite on an e30 or any car:
Hockenheims
Tri-spokes
But surely everybody loves a banded steelie.....

[Pud237]

Surprised Hockenheims are coming in for some flak - I think they're a great classic style wheel. A colleague of mine had them on his Alfa 155 widebody, they looked great.

[shedrool83]

If we are taking about looks its got to be venoms for me.
If we are talking about ride quality the bk alpina reps.

[suchy]

infact this will kick up a storm - Avez As are one of the shittest wheels i have EVER seen

I am going to hunt you down...

[suchy]

Don't really like Borbet A
Really don't like Tri-spokes
Detest Ronel Teddy Bears
Feel quite passionately against any multi-fitment wheels...

Really detest quite a lot of modern wheels actually!

[jon-m42]

Core blimey I do dislike a fair few wheels such as the bottle tops and alpina reps and a few others I cant remember the names of ”¦

Just having a read up on the first and second page of this thread I am shocked that people will still drive around with such classics and take the originality away from it and or try to show of what really is just another regular e30 pretending to be a Alpina... I thought putting stickers right across one end to the other end of your car was so 90's even then for me it looks silly and to now it still looks prity much pointless...

I am all for individual modifications which improve handling, safety and overall drive ability but not for a second do I support putting stickers on one end to the other I really thought this was what children do such as them young chavs driving little cars all out of their parents money... silly and childish for sure or maybe im just getting old ”¦ .

Like one of you guys mentioned having a normal 3 series with a M3 badge on it ”¦ = pointless, silly and stupid trying to be something you are not is for sure what it is...

Rav I presume you have a regular normal e30 cab with a m30 engine possibly out of a 5 series e28 with alpina stickers on it ”¦ My advice to you mate if this is what tickles our dangles a thumbs up to you fella.....

Although if I had your car id take them stickers off for one and then them wheels and keep the engine with some 15”a bbs xspoke wheels on it and enjoy the Sunday blasts on a nice stretch of road...

how much did that engine conversion cost you?

OH I also dislike any BBS Reps

[bab-91]

borbet 'A's
Avez As
BK Alpina reps (Actually ruins my day)
Lenso BSX (any BBS Rep)

[suedenim]

[dusty23]

Defo Bk's, the e36 motorsport reps, anything 3 spoke, tsw venoms although i've never seen them on an e30 before are hateful wheels.

what's wrong with bbs reps aslong as they don't have the bbs badge, they look fine don't they?

I have 18inch BBS style 5's on my m3, they actually came on the car, I personally think they are too big but they 16's need a refurb so they will stay for now, I guess most people will hate on these for being too big.

I have some refurbed Nagano grey 17" style 5s if you want to swap

18's are way too big, there's no way that they don't rub on the inner arches at times,

I preferred it on 16" BBS

[harry_p]

Looks great on 18s, but not sure how well it would drive. 17s are a decent compromise on m3s, look good without totally ruining the drive, although admittedly they do feel a lot better on 16s.
