    i don't think white associated with anything having to do with wheels looks good. for that matter, i feel the same way about chrome and gold. the white has that outdated 80's feel to it. not so good.

    polished aluminum, silver powder coat or graphite looks hawt.

      I couldn't decide when looking for wheels, so got both. I think of them as investments, also thought about painting the turbines white, have since decided not to and will just refinish them in silver.

          Turbines but ONLY if you run staggered and I only say this because of the ease of changing looks by changing to throwing star covers.

              RS.

              I've had the turbines, they're awesome but you really can't get better than the RS's.... (and that's what I'm running come summer)

              That said, if your car is more race prepped, turbines look more correct...

                      Here's a better shot.

                      trying to decide to use these ones or black ones

                      Plus I have these in 16's

                          Yes I know what you meant My covers are not shown but system II's give you Three wheel choices and are relatively inexpensive. Tire choices are so so but most are now for E30's.

                          215's are too narrow and 235 can be difficult with fender lips.

                            I now have 235 and its a bit of a pain! I actually cant stand it.....Its a hard choice here, i like the rarity of the turbines but something about the look of RS's....

                              Voted RS's

                              Turbine would look good in not white.

                                You mention BBS RS, what size? These are so varied that they could be 15-18's. That I think come into play as well. I like 16's on the E30 but as you know 16" tire size is about dead. 225-45 is great but a 245-40 would be better.
