    Help me pick a rim I have..

    Cant decide what to go with , i have less than 24 hours to deside.

    Go with my bbs rd's 15x7 with a 205/50 or... Rota Slipstreams ( blk ) 15x6.5 with the same size tires.

    Issue with both rims, BBS are 4x108 , adapters are gunna cost me about 120ish, and to put tires on about 40. So thats just about 160 to run my BBS RD037 Offset with adapters will come out to 18

    the other option is run the Slip steams , they are et 40 so ill end up getting 20mm spacers, thus making my et at 20. These already have tires on , spacers with studs gunna be around 100ish.

    im in a vert and will be getting springs soon ( next week or two with e90 drop hats )

    My car currently



    The BBS RD's



    the Rota Slip streams look like this





    Im thinking the rotas look alil more aggressive but should i spend the extra and just rock the BBS's? Adapters are being made tomorrow but i can stop them and get the spacers instead.

    Id like everyones input pls

    Hmm...

    I'd choose something else. They make slipstreams in E30 fitment. Why limit yourself to a rim no wider than a stock weave?

        i picked them up with tires super cheap. 3/4 tires are brand new.

        Basicly same price as i paid for my bbs

                  My vote goes to selling the shitty Rotas to the Honda kids and also selling the BBS then using that money to buy something better ;)

                    rotas in 16x8 in e30 fitment is an awesome set up, in 15s they wont look right. big man in a little suit.

                    Get some euro weaves or ronal ls's. Classic look.

                    L

                    PS nice benz behind your car.

                      Rotas = No.

                      Are you tracking this thing or looking for the sex?

                          I gonna go with the BBS. Once stanced right, this will look good...especially with your color car. Robert will always have something worth drooling over but it depends on your preference and bank roll.
