Well I have been umming and ahhing for a while wether I should change the wheels on the old bus?

I'm very tempted to try to find some 16" hartge's like these (Bob, I "borrowed" your pic hope you don't mind)

The current set I have are these.

If you reply Yes, What other wheels do you think I should look at. 16" only.

Richard, That's why I bought these in the first place, just wondering if I could do better?

Neil, Drag him to lakeside, I will drop him a pm in the meantime.

Cass, Do you think I am made of money lol :mad:

Max, I still like mine but always want to see what else can be done with the car.

They are very nice

I prefer the old Alpinas Reps to be honest. I love that look, i cant wait to trade my E36 ones in for some Alpina Reps. Finding the best deal is the only head ache i will need to go through.
Returned after many years out.

TBH i really like the rims you have on your car now mate, they really suit it. Dont go for pina reps, they have been done to death and will make your car into ANOTHER clone.

Those BBS RS's are pure sex, their what i want in 17" on my M3 for the summer :cool:

Cheers Ben, Maybe I should have posted this earlier, but my car will NEVER have alpina's on it, Real or otherwise.
Just really do nothing for me, that's why I settlled on the ones I have at the moment. Change is a good thing tho :wink:

OK so, your current wheels are on the car as you like them (obv!!)...maybe I can come up with a similar wheel but in 16" :cool:

CR7's, as found on Gunni's car. Can't find a link for sh*t though...I'll keep trying

The wheel on the top left, with a polished dish 8) 16x9, there's an English supplier but I can't find them mate.

Just realised they have an online shop, £140 for the 16x7.5 and £175 for the 16x9 rim.
