i like the design a lot, but non-factory wheels tend to need a fitting collar type thing which allways looks rubbish in my opinion. you could get round this by fitting a quick release mechanism - a brilliant anti-theft deterrent. daryll that has the fantastic silver m3 has one - he may be able to help with where from and costs etc.

I dunno if you can change the badge 8O

But there s ne which is part wood. I like it, but I think its going to be fun to carry that thru hand luggage! (claiming GST/Vat back)

Is it me or does it look like an alpina wheel?

that first wheel looks too modern for the e30 interior in my opinion-spend the £70 on fuel and go tank the car about instead :cool:
