I'm bored at work and my mind is wandering onto car type things, namely wheels.

Can people take a look at this page http://www.imagewheels.co.uk/pages/cast.html and tell me which style they'd opt for.

I've already got a set of their billet wheels for my GT6 and I'm well happy with them:

Cheers guys!

They'll be a last thing to do on the E30, gotta get brakes and suspension plus all the other bits sorted first :(

It's not really a GT6 in the strictest sense of the word anymore (or at least when I get around to finishing it it won't be). It's got a multitube chassis, is about to become 18" wider, has the 17" rims with 205 rubber at the front and 245 at the rear........and of course a '99 M3 evo engine and 'box :)

I'm interested in getting some different wheels before June, but I don't where to look for decent rims, my budget doesn't quite stretch to the Image wheels - there are some 16x8's I like but will come to about Ԛ£1300 which is a bit excessive :roll:

I found some Keskin KT4's for Ԛ£205 a wheel in 17x8 which isn't bad but I want a polished rim...so can anyone recommend any wheels with a polished dish in 16x8 or 17x8 fitment under Ԛ£1k (with or without tyres)?

Or you could look for some refurbed BBS wheels mate. You can normally get a really nice restored set for around 7-800

these would be awesome on your motor mate http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 52208&rd=1
