    It's mostly about proportion and balance I think... 17s look too big on a stock diving board E30, they really need skirts and front and rear bars to balance out the wheels. 16s would be a much better bet imho, 15s even.

    My Mtech2 BODYKIT is reasonably chunky, but it still looks nicely balanced with 16s.

    Plus there's the ride and handling side of things. 15s/16s have a better ride, and less rotational interia.

      I mean, it's an ETA! I always try to remember that when I want to mod my car.

      Your making me cry :(
      Converting your auto ETA to a manual with the added suspension parts and M3 steering rack made me cry!

          Wowzers.

          5 Month old thread bumped. I've determined what I wanna do since then. And every time I see James' car I love euro bumpers even more. Just waiting to sell my old daily then alot of things will see attention on the ETA. I've got a very long list.
