U must be board, would all of these options be in the right PCD and Ofset?

First batch i wasn't keen on any of them.

Second batch, nononono etc except for number 5 - i like them :D

Maybe they need to be flatter - ie. not jut back so sharply into the dish, but they're nearly right. I think thye'd look good on an e30.

1/no way on this earth or in this lifetime
2/ditto to above
3/see above
4/ ''
5/ can you see a pattern emerging?

they are all no for the simple reason that they look poo, especially the last one(an attempt to copy an already copied wheel, it makes the bk's look good lol)
stick to bmw wheels or a tuning company associated with bmw i.e schnitzer/alpina/hartge(not approved :D )

People stick to recognised accepted wheels as they are frightened to express their own opinions on wheels.

I've always liked Hockenheim style wheels

i think the second set was even worse than the first- u really must be on acid to consider some of those winkeye nothing wrong with being individual, it's what sets us apart from the boring mondeo A to B motorists. Just gotta find a set of rims that suits the look of your car or transforms the look of your car. Or you could just spray ur car matt black, match the rims and take the suspension off winkeye i hear its catching on :D

Nothing inidividual about limiting your choice of wheels to 3 manufacturers.

In fact, the only way to be individual is to commission your own wheels.

It's about making your own choice, which in it's self, is highly subjective.

Ok I agree they make some crap wheels and maybe I shouldve been a bit more specific.

I really like Borbet As and Bs, BBS RS, CH, CK, RX but would really like an LM

Brianmoore is a cyborg.

His genes were cross bred and infused with an e30 chassis in the late 80's. He'd be able to type faster but 80's mobile phone technology didn't have the processing power.

If you like lm's then whats so bad about the 'hockenheim' style ones shown in this thread... VERY similar to lm's. Though obviously without the brand name.

Theres nothing wrong with them but theyre not my taste. They do differ from the LMs, the LMs are flat faced. All those wheels are very nice but not my taste interms of putting them on an E30.....they may look the dogs on any other car.

Im not a brand whore at all!! I am the tightest person you would ever meet and if could get a certain look without the £Â£ being spent I would!
