I know this is a subject that has been brought up loads and loads and loads...

But what shall I stick with on the Sport... BBS's or Alpina reps...?

Purely for looks...

The ever classic BBS's... (which are an arse to clean)

Or the 'everyman and his dog have got them' Alpina reps...

Please note that whatever I don't have on the Sport will be worn by the track car, until I can find a lovely track day set...

Car looks awesome by the way!

I actually really like it with the Alpinas, I was expected to prefer the BBS's.

Keep the BBS's though just in case you fancy a change!!

Dave... cheers bud! 8)

The BBS's I have still got, though they are currently on the track car...

Not getting rid of them, they're immaculate... unless someone wants to do a trade with them for mega money...!

Also,

It's amazing how much difference the clear lenses make, especially on that colour.

Shame I wasn't in the area to meet you yesterday, would have been good to have a look around the sport!

Another time!

Looks nice in the pics. Still got the usual 'bits' that need paint... finding more each time I clean it!

After having LOTS of work done just recently, I've fallen in love with it all over again. She drives like they should when they're new... lovely.

Geeman , I too thought I'd like the BBS but I have to say the Alpiners look better on your car in that colour ! .
I know what your saying about everyone having them and your right, but thats only online here and when you go to meets some cars will have them , out on the street in your local area people will be looking at your car thinking "nice car and those wheels look lovely " .
In the ideal world I'd have both and swap about when I felt like a change ! .
I have a spare set of 16inch BBS for my M3 and I'm tempted to see if anyone wants to swap them for a set of Schnitzer reps so I can change about .
Anyway thats a lovely car Geeman .

Giles, you could compromise and stick the Pina reps on your mates car, relieve me of a set of GENUINE alpinas (NOT an 'every man and his dog' wheel) :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink:

I'm another that thought i'd prefer the BBS but got to say i do prefer the alpinas on your car. Don't think the alpinas would make good track dat wheels either.

You could start a new trend and be completely different.

Alpinas on the back and BBS on the front :lol:
