    What is the best bbs rs replicas?

    Well I just recently bought myself an e30 325i and I want to give it a face lift so I am looking for the best RS replicas. I heard ESM's are really good but I want to see what else is out there. Can someone point me in the right direction. :hitler:

    Best what? best price? best strength? best weight? They are all tradeoffs.

      Well best quality for the price. Something that will actually last.

        If you don't drive over curbs and shit, most wheels will last...

        I like ESM 002's, though.

          Well that's what I was thinking of getting. Maybe some 16's. Well I don't drive over curbs but a lot of roads have mean ass pot holes so that might be a problem.

            ESM 002's are my absolute favorite RS reps. they look so good. i would rather have ESM's. that way if you curb em. u cant be that pissed. becuase they arent real.

              ESM's version is definitely the best looking RS rep.

                Alright, well I guess I was headed in the right direction for wheels. I'm thinking of going for 16 silver. This is what I am hoping it will look like.

                  I think those are 17s but 16s look very good on e30s

                    I know man, I'm still thinking whether to get them staggered or not. I knows for 17's you have more tire options than for 16's.

                      17 you have a TOOOOON of tire options 16s look about perfect on e30s but your tire choice is a bit more limited

                        You know, for the cost of ESM's you could just get a set of genuine bbs, like the RM or something. Then you would have genuine wheels for the same price. I had the 16x9 esm 002 on my other car. Looked okay but pretty heavy and still balls expensive when new

                          For the cost of esm's you can get a set of RS's if you look around. I have around $1,400 into my wheels that's including: original purchase, tires, new paint, new bolts, and adapters. Just need to shop around and be ready to buy when you find the right set.
