HI
Just need a little help on alloys, i have a totaly standard diamond black 325i sport 1989 and would like to change the bbs 15" standard ones, ive been advised not to go for 17" as ride can be a little hard, i was thinking of 16" alpina's as i dont want to stray to far from the standard look, so to sum up which is better 16" or 17" alpina original or copies on a e30 325i sport
ta in advance
