Tbh, don't think you could beat the 15" original wheels, with the correct fitment tyres.

16" RS's will look :cool:
If you have a 5 stud set up, and if it's E36 stuff, you will need a high ET set of RS's

If you Got "Haters",Then your doing something Right!
CR24v??? Where's it all gone?? LOL

Look up "et" on internet.
It's how far the sits in or outside the arch when fitted.
