    WTB/need advise on rims

    Hey,

    I need advise on which type rims to buy. Maybe you guys can bestow some knowledge. The car is a 90 325is blk on blk and lowered with IE3 springs and Koni shocks...I'm looking for:

    1) 15x7.5-15x8 4 lug pattern
    2) I really like the racinghart lm reps or BBS style mesh
    3) I like maybe a black or gray wheel color
    4) Car will be used for occasinal track sessions but, mostly for daily driving
    5) The Rota Rbs look cool too...
    6) My budget is for about $600 just for the wheels..and, yes I know it dosen't give me too much wiggle room

    Maybe someone has something cool thats used for sale here...Throw whatever you got this way. Thanks

    Edit: Nevermind both of the stated are 16's if your looking strictly for 15's

      You can get new Slipstreams with that money, or some Euroweaves if your lucky.

        Not too many choices for 15's...

        If you need strictly 15's then I'd say find a nice set of weaves

          thanks fellas. I like the retro looks of the Rota RB however, I dunno how heavy they are. I used to have sliptstreams....I was kinda thinking something more stylish and retro. I also was looking at OG oldschools...I think thats what they are called.

          Basicly, weight is an issue also. The 15s would keep tire expense down. As well as they will clear Massive bbk.

              euroweaves are an option but they're 15x7"
              I'd say Ronal LS's, which are super nice and 15x7.5", but that's a little out of your budget

                      The Axiss OGs are really growing on me.

                      I also really like the Ronal LS and the Rota RB.

                      My car is black on black. What do you guys thing would look best. I'm trying to stay away from gold colored rims. Keep in mind this will serve as daily driving and occasional track/hpde. Thanks
