    Help me choose some wheels!!!

    hey guys! its time to get some new wheels for the E30 and im not sure which ones to get. I like the 3 main sportmax designs that people seem to run on E30, but i like them equally as much! whichever design is chosen, im going to go with the 16x8 et0 4x100 version

    Help me choose! which do you think would look best on my car? This is my car, is going to be painted a gloss pitch black eventually.

    But really the 501s aren't bad, I would go with those! Could always 5 lug swap it and run some e36 offset wheels. More options without running spacers.

    PS. For the record the wheels in the sig are not on the car at the moment... I am running a set of DS1s.

      My vote is for the 521 or 522. Those would look way better than any of the ones you have selected.

                513 will look very good on your car.

                    none... they are all horrible sportmax wheels. if your car is a real Tech2, it deserves much better than that.

                      I like the BBS style ones, but i feel that every E30 owner seems to be running them these days. While sportmax is sorta like that, its got noway near the following.

                      I was leaning towards the time attack style 513s as well. The car is not factory motorsport, but its a full genuine kit and has all the motorsport/M325i stuff

                            XXR 521's:



                            16x8.0" ET20. Doesn't get much better than that. $105 a wheel in the US...behold, the next Sportmax wheel that will invade R3V! Comes in silver and gunmetal (which looks surprisingly close to Nogaro).

                            Still a fake splitty though.

                              I think your car deserves a better looking wheel BUT if the above are your only choices, 513 would be the ones.
