Decisions, Rotas vs bbs

[bejbis]

Just weighing my options, wanted a few opinions, the rotas make the car look kinda 'oem-plus' and the bbs make it look more or less 'period correct'. Either way, I picked up the bbs's for a song. What do you guys think? classics? or agressive? Im finding it really hard to give up the 16'' rotas for the 15'' BBS's.

bbs 15x7


Rotas 16x7

Bbs.

1: look at thread title
2: make obvious decision
3: ???
4: profit

the rotas look good and you can run a wider tire, The bbs look good but somewhat small

I like BBS quality, but LOVE Slipstreams' look.

[Jean]

Both ;)

Slipstreams might be a replica of Desmond Regamaster Marquis Promada (made in Russia and rare)

Actually im pretty sure the Slips are a knockoff of the Spoon SW388 wheels.

run the slipstreams with a bigger tire, they'll look tits.

Correct. They come in the right size (16x8 is THE ONLY size you should get these in) but they look like ass on E30s, especially the polished finish you've got pictured.

I love rotas, but BBS wins this time.

[Danny]

This settles it.

I WILL be buying slipstreams as my next wheels.

[Stephen]

Ok. I understand Rotas are a good size but....


BBS vs Rota?


And Rotas are spoon knockoffs.

BBS or knockoff of a spoon wheel...


Edit: if my post isnt clear, BBS. Or PM me and ill take them off your hands.

Saw the size of the slipstreams you want and edited my post. 16x7 slipstreams aren't even worth considering.

powdercoat the slipstreams black

Sell the 16 x 7 slips and get black 16 x 8s. The BBS are nice and your car looks great with them, but performance wise, the Rota's are probably lighter (16lbs for the 16 x 8s) vs. ? for the BBS, not to forget the contact patch. If you don't wanna get new rims, I say the BBS look better than the polished Slips.
