Hottest wheels on an e30?

[ColdAccord]

As long as I have enough left over after brakes and suspension on my other car, I'd like to invest in a nice set of wheels for my e30.

it's still 4 lug so my choices are kinda limited. but i'd rather spend 1500 on a set of rims than 1500 on a 5 lug swap then another 1500 on rims. maybe at a later point in life.

anyway, I love the feeling of saying "holy shit thats hot" every time I walk out to my car. I still get this, but I think a new set of shoes would renew my zest.

so what do you guys think are the hottest wheels for a 4 lug e30? I have been thinking of trying to find a set of rs's over winter/spring. the only thing though is they were made in 16x7. I'd like a set that's 16x7.5 or 16x8 for a little more dish. i remember seeng a few sets over the course of the past 4 or so years, but not often. they should fit long as I roll the fenders and rock 225-245s, no? i would love them with black centers and a polished lip.

what are my other options? I'd like to get 16s as the roads around here are rather shitty, but I could be persuaded for the right set of 17s.

keep in mind my car is white.

The black drop top makes me drool.

No question in my mind. Made in whatever offset/size/width you want.

Yeahh, but do they come in 4-lug? Not much help to an e30 guy if they don't.

BBS for teh win... more often than not

the bbs rg-f are hot, I've thought about those. they only look bling in 17 though, and I'd prefer 16s

I don't really like the borbets. already had a set, with flat caps and those caps. don't really do it for me

I guess I forgot to add that I don't like the stretched tire look. Nothing against it, but not for me. so nothing wider than 7.5 or 8" please. I guess I would be persuaded to do a staggard setup, if I could fit 245s in the rear.
I don't mind rolling my fender lips a bit.

I saw once a set of fake acs 5 spoke wheels, 2 piece w/the machined/polished lip. they were on maxbimmer, 16x7.5" but made for a 2002. i asked the guy to get me the offset and he sold them before I could get to them.

edit: mystikal -what happened to those rs copies? I know you got rid of them, but why never to be seen again? this is a wheel I do not like in 17" though, 16s the biggest I could do in an RS. what size are the rs's of the white car next to you?

They are wide 16's on the white car, 9 or 10".

for me, anything BBS (specifically weave/mesh styles). They just have a classic look that fits the E30 nicely.. BBS RS, 15x7 euro weaves, Ronal LS, etc.

otherwise, I like Brock B1, Azev A, SSR comps, etc. I like all of the wheels that have been posted so far (I'd love a set of BBS RG-F, only ~11lbs!). some might think my taste is "standard" for E30s but I just don't like cheap generic wheels.

oh yeah, the BBS RG-F comes in 16x7 too...

[ColdAccord]

already have a set of euro weaves right now. they're just not enough for me
