    Basketweaves vs. Euroweaves vs. BBS RA...

    I'm looking to upgrade the bottlecaps, but I couldn't decide between these "Basketweaves, Euroweaves, and BBS RA". So which one would be better, need some advise/opinions..

    Thanks.

    I think euroweaves look the best on a E30.

      basketweaves are 14", euroweaves are 15", and RAs could be anywhere in between. Euroweaves are usually $400+ for a set, baskets are usually around $200 and RA's are usually around $400

      I would find a nice set of ra's 15x7 et12

          I have set of Basketweavs on mine and absolutely love it but if I could find a good set of euroweaves for sale close to me, I would jump right on it.

          Plus I'm pretty sure its easier to find more performance oriented tires for the euroweaves than for the baskets.

            Ronal LS. It has the classic weave look with a little lip.

                            around $200-400.. I'm also looking for some e30 M3 Springs. Which will lower the car for about and inch. Can't use H&R, due to low oil pan (91 318i :(

                              Actually, there are a few good performance tires in 14" size as well :)
