15" or 17" wheels?

[FredK]

I hope someone at stock ride height wins these.

[Jonny Cash]

these look terrible on an E30 as 15's. I've seen a few around town already and they just look wrong. 17's are the way to go for this wheel.

the red one in the bav-auto catalog doesnt look bad at all.

[nando]

I vote rob.

Moreover why no choice of 16" rims?

because they are free?

17" reference...


Either size will look good DEPENDING on the car.

15s. Period correct, lighter in weight, more tire size choices (and said tires will be cheaper too).

Jon

all the right reasons...

[FredK]

more tire choices? you're kidding, right?

17", the only choice for this style. Plus much better street tire selection.

Yeah, I'll echo these guys' sentiments. There are very few UHP street tires in 15" or 16". Even 235/40R17 is disappearing.

Nitto makes 225' 40' 17" and those s/b stock height.

15" with 205/50 semislicks.

I think they both look good on the e30, but it is typically owner preference. I prefer 15", because it is more "stock" looking.

I don't think those 17's look bad at all.

Anyone have a picture of the 15's mounted up?

20's pleeze

I'd have to go with 17's. I generally don't like wheels that big on E30s, but I don't like the huge tires you have to run with 15's, too much sidewall.

[Cabriolet]

if u wanna race/autoX then go 15s. if you are on the street and look cool, go 17s.
i have 16s and love the size. bigger wheels = more weight usually.

[skatingzooyork]

16s...

But I think overall more people would be happy w/ 15s!

A 15 in this style looks odd and 17's have better tire selection, plus it just looks better.
