Gave up on T.Stars Wheels, bought and istalled these 16"

What do ya think about this wheels? IMO they look pretty good, looks like a BBS replicas, but they aren't at all...

soo will take more pics of it and my ride and will post in members rides, I will refill the holes and then will paint the wheela bit darker, don't give me shit just because they have 8 holes, BTW, the rest of holes are not functionally I think, too small..




OPinions? COmments?

They look alright for CH knock off. Though I would want the small lip that is on the original. The one thing that bugs me is there's no outside dish.

The front end of your car looks like it's sagging.

I think the tires size looks good for a turbo e30.. man size tires let people know you aren't playing around :P

The fastest import around here has the exact same look with 16" rims and manly tires, I think it's a good balance of performance and looks.

Yes, I had 14" Basketwaves before, I traded those wheels for these one, the guy recieved my 4 wheel (one of them was a replica with 8 holes, and he didn't notice hehehehe!) for 120$ with out tires...my tires (hankook) sold for $50 used to my friend, so I only paid him $410 for the new wheels, but I required spacers for front mostly, 15$ per spacer made in Peru lol ( I will take pics of it too).

yeah me too, I always wanted deep dish rims but never found a nice set in 16" with 4 lug. No luck

1 year before buy these rims I bought these used tires for $140 in pretty good shape!

for the front are Pirelli P-Zero Asimetrico 205/50/ZR16 and for the rear I have Michelin Pilot SX 225/50/ZR16 both with 140 Treadwear.

I tought it was a good deal afeter all...I will low a bit the suspension in the rear to get a kind of slammed look and yes, the rear looks a bit fat( the tire ) over the wheel...

BTW... comparin the old 14 with tires with the new combo side by side, I mean in height were almost the same, so I didn't notice lose in performance but big big difference in grip of corse!
