[billgatese30]

sorry mate, but i couldn't vote coz i love them both too much.

[Sjoerd320i]

go for the bbs' in motorsport style i love them bbs'

[Widge]

BBS's all the way, not too keen on the motor sport style, can some one post some pics so I can decide.

[SwirlyE30]

I prefere the BBS.Although everyman and his dog has 15" bbs wheels (still very though, dont get me wrong) , some Ronals are what you want my boy!

I parked up in sainsurbys car park tonight to get some sweets lol, and walking away my wheels just looked pure sex with the lights on them

thats what i mean.. everyone and there dog has BBS' the MIM's are old skool and v cool.. If im gonna keep my BBS' i'll have to Motorsport them..

I was gonna get some Ronals lol, i've got a few pics of that e30.. its almost sexual lol I love Lachs Silver

[SwirlyE30]

lol, mate yours would look sweet with some Ronals, that picture there is similar to your car,they would look awesome on yours, with an infity/is lip on the front. Next meet over in Brighton mate you can have a look at my Ronals, see what their like, pretty smooth wheels!.

I do like the bbs wheels, although im a deep dish fan, and the fact that these wheels shine up like a mofo (when clean lol, which can be a bitch,but not THAT bad)

[Ziggy]

Well I'm going for MIMs, obviously! Hence the photochop you've got of em on my car!

Currently got TSWs that are the same style as BBS, but sit slightly further out in the arches thanks to the offset, & look better without centrecaps! I like them too, but I still think I'm gonna have to get some mims... So you should go for BBS

Here's the original pic:

[Simon13]

did someone say lachs silver?!

[Jhonno]

mmmm Lachs silver lol!!

Mim's all day long.
BBS are.....
1) Too common
2) Too fiddly to clean properly unless you've got far too much time on your hands.

good points sir, cept I happen to think that a set of capless, shagged bbs offsets the "rat ride" look of my touring to a tee

mims would be sweet though

[TW166Y]

bbs hands down

[mac325i]

i'll vote mims cos you don't see them as often- im not sayin i dont like bbs', far from it (cross-spokes suit any car)

it's just refreshing to see different wheels that are still old skool imo

MIMS on a chrome bumper look sweet but dont suit plastic bumpers(IMO)

[agent006]

Mims all the way. I've got some on mine and they look great. Mine are ET13, so the rears rub on the arches sometimes. Something to look out for.

Yep same as that, had some on my 323i back in the day and looked sweet.

[bmwe30mtech]

BBS by miles, the mims look a bit weedy imho, but i love the origional bbs

[miniblob]

I would go with the MIM's!!

[liam012]

It has to be said the mims are lovely - pictures of mims dont do them justice i think as i got a set based on pictures and i couldn't believe how well theyt looked on the car.

[Ziggy]

How old is this topic?! & can nobody still find a better pic of some mims, than the 30 second photochop onto my old car?!

[TW166Y]

today i like mims though

Here are mine. Pics not very good, they were taken in a hurry, it was raining. I'll hopefully get some better ones soon.

I like the mims in the first pic polished up much better than the bbs's. The mims on the black tourer look good and, as I also have a black tourer, it gives me a good idea of what they would look like.

Would have to be polished though no offence essbee

[StuBeeDoo]

No offence taken Dude! The paint is darker than I wanted, but i can't be ar5ed to do them again at the moment. I don't suppose it helps the photo' that I took it about 9pm either. Sometimes I look at them and they don't look too bad.
I did wonder if they would have looked good in white. Maybe I'll try that next time.
Cheers
Stuart.

[e36boy]

[cougar]

[gcorky]

[StuBeeDoo]

Wwooooooh!
Malachite Green Touring on MiM's. :drool:

[Cloggy Saint]

I think that's laguna green or something like that, it isn't malachite

[Jhonno]

Whoo.. Holy thread resurrection Batman

Liking the MIM's still i reckon.. which is why im currently running BBS'

[cougar]

I think that's laguna green or something like that, it isn't malachite

yes m8 laguna green, by the way i got the BMW restoration bible
by Andrew Everett and in the paint chapter it does not have Laguna green

[TouringMatt]

MIM's Catch the car at the right angle and all you can see is the dish

But having 3 sets kinda makes me biased

[Jhonno]

Or greedy..
