I found 4 wheels that i like from Image, but i'm not sure which ones i like best. I really like the 2nd BBS type ones, but at the same time i love the 3rd Alpina look one, cause it follows the classic lines, but still has that fat lip and i just love fat lips winkeye :D

2nd or 3rd set mate.

I'd go for the 2nd but the 3rd probably stand out a bit more, and for a man who likes a bit of individuality could be the ticket winkeye

D6dph. I've just bought that J plate Motorsport on ebay. My mate is there doing the deal as we speak. It's so rare to see one in that colour that all my plans have gone out of the window. I dont want to do anything that cant be reversed, so new engine, wide wheels and a respray in original colour, plus a nice lotus white or cream retrim and that's it. I wont even change the mirros which i was planning on doing along with angel eyes.

Kos i'm only doing this cause i get a daily allawance for being in Milan and Mr accountant says if i dont spend it, then the tax man will get his grubby hands on it, so i'm trying to invest it in the Motosport in the hope that if i keep it original and mint, i'd always get the monet back or most of it as they are becomming hard to find now winkeye :wink:

G they are proper fat and i'd love a set, but Ԛ£2.5k :eek: I'll see what Image can do for me. I've gone for 17x10j rear and 17x9j fronts. I should gat a fat dish on the rear for that, but not so deep on the fronts cause he has to allow space for the 300mm disks with Wilwood 4pot calliper's i bought the other day winkeye

hUNGER FOR e30? Dude you have the wrong man :wink: :D
