The ones you pictured look a bit naff imo. Too modern a wheel, sort of thing you would see on a new mondeo.

Hartges if you don't mind dropping to 16"?

Wheels are always so hard to pick!!!!! I wouldn't go with the ones at the top!!

I could list a couple of good wheels, but they're gonna be custom ones that cost massive £Â£Ã‚£Ã‚£'s!!!!!!!

I have my eye on a set of wheels i really, really want!!!!! Bargain at £4000 without tyres!!!!!!!!!

Now where did i put that lottery ticket?

Nice site!! In my humble opinion you can only get away with trick rims if you car is very standard (no body kit etc). If your M-Tech'd up always better to go with some OEM rims other wise it can look a bit OTT. As my wife said to her sister "it's ether lipstick or eye shadow, you can not do both otherwise you look like a clown"!!! winkeye

you should find some-one who can handle photo-shop verry well, and try some styles, or just search on the net until you find a pic of an E30 with nice wheels, i've got over 1.500 e30 picsn i searched a long time before i made any change on my car, bu it's always a matter of taste

those might give you some ideas? those look a bit like the kind you're searchin for i gues?? :o:

Those Kahn RS's on the green convertable look very nice ... shame they are quite expensive.

Have a look at this convertable with deep dish rims;

They look the dogs.
