    I love doublespokes.
    The BMW 318 is back. With a vengeance.

        Not a huge fan of either, but I generally dislike the contours. So I picked the doublespokes. And more specifically, they look much better on your car than the contours do.

          Couldn't have said it better myself. The contours are one of the ugliest wheels that bmw has ever made. And what a coincidence, the came on the ugliest series bimmer ever.

          What about M-Parallels?

            These wheels are just temporary until I can afford something more balla.

            M-Parallels are not offered in a 40-48ET that I would need. The genuine OEM ones are super low offset and would stick out way past the fender.

            IE a 17x8.5 ET47 M-DoublespokeII is even with the side of the fender.

                I want to run 245's on all 4 corners. Or perhaps 245 R and 235 front. 7.5 isnt ideal with this.

                I also hate those wheels.

                  I say contours, the doublespokes look too busy on your car.

                    I think the Contours are great looking wheels. A good good with the lines of the e30.

                      Ive always had a thing for the '95 M3 wheels. Not a very popular choice though obviously... :)

                        I've never liked Contours, and I dig Doublespokes. Easy choice for me.

                            Sorry for the dumb question but, what are you doing about the stud patern, did you do 5 lug conversion or are you able to get replicas of those wheels in 4 stud?

                            BTW- Definatly doublespokes, look hot.

                              ^ He is doign a 5 lug swap

                              As far as my choice of the contours over the DS2 wheels, I picked the ocntours ebcause they really flow with the lines of your E30 more Jordan. They go well with the smooth look of the wing, rear apron, and skirts. As said, the DS2's look too busy on your car.
