15" or 17" wheels?

[harv]

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

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

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

15" with 205/50 semislicks.

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.

[FredK]

more tire choices? you're kidding, right?

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

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

Jon

all the right reasons...

17" reference...


Either size will look good DEPENDING on the car.

[nando]

I vote rob.

Moreover why no choice of 16" rims?

because they are free?

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.

[FredK]

I hope someone at stock ride height wins these.

[rammstein]

I was going to say 17s... And i'm a 15" lover!
I only say 17 because I think that particular style of wheel might not look right in 15" ? In every other aspect though I'd say 15". plus 7"wide looks way undersized on a 17"wheel imo
Cool wheels :up:

Agreed- that style might look strange on 15s. The width I also agree on- I pine over things like 15x9s.

[Jonny Cash]

if its 7" wide, 15's are the only way to go. 17x7's like a wagon wheel. I wouldnt ever go bigger than 16 on an e30 anyway.

[Chabs]

17's look funny on e30s in my opinion.
