    Which wheels for my car?

    I think I know which wheels I am going with, but thought I might get some feedback here. Also, if you think of an option not here, fill me in. Only stipulation is they have to be 17" because I already have tires for them. Oh, and I am working on a budget here, so I need to keep cost/wheel $250 or less, preferrably less ;). That in effect rules out obvious choices such as O.Z. Futuras, BBS RS, SSR comps, etc.

    Thanks.

          7 or 7.5. either way, just have to be 17". Yes, Alecs, I have a personal preference, but just curious as to some opinions, now vote.

            What type of driving will you be doing, or is it mainly a style oriented swap?

              Just street driving, no tracking. IF I were to do any, I would go with somehting smaller and lighter than what's listed here.

                17" Koseis would look gorgeous.

                  I voted Kopi's. That Alpina style looks great on red cars.

                  If you wanted 15 or better yet 16" wheels, I would have voted Kosei K1's. But they look goofy in 17" on an E30. And the whole point of Kosei's is that they're really light, which doesn't seem to be a concern for you.

                        Are you being funny Ken? Cuz if you're not, I would love to find a set in the Type IIs, but I realize that's next to impossible. However, they Type IIIs are available, but I am not so sure I dig 'em.

                          15" Koseis would go nicely with those Springs you now have!!!!

                          But if you insist on 17s, ACS Reps would be nice.

                              I like all of them. The Type IIIs look sweet too.
