    Opinions on Which wheel I should run: BBS Style 29 or MOMO EXTREME

    So I have 2 sets of wheels with tires mounted and I'm really torn as to which I should run. I have a set of (OEM) BBS Style 29's in 16x7 with 205/50 R16's mounted and I have a set of brand new MOMO EXTREME wheels in 17x8 with 215/40 R17's mounted. Both wheels have Kumho Ecsta AST's with 90% tread so tires are not a factor. I was planning on running the momo's but I got the car out in the sun today for the first time in 6 months and saw it for the first time with the BBS's and it looks incredible. Both will need a medium amount of fender rolling to fit so fitment is also not a deciding factor. I'm just looking for discussion and opinions on which I set I should keep and which I should sell. I did a quick photoshop of the MOMO's so keep in mind that they probably won't look that big and it's a bit of an unfair advantage to the BBS's since that's a real picture.

    Yes the car is on a trailer in the pic, it's on its way to the exhaust shop.

      you should run the momos and then make sure every chrome/polished bit on the car is as shiny as they are.

      ditch the plastic bumpers, put on diving boards, and polish those too.

      final touch, some chrome fender arches (really to cover up your f'd up rear passenger arch, but it would complete the look as well).

      1985 323i baur

        Momos are super shiny in that badly executed photoshop..



        I really like the momo's, but I need to see them actually on the car.

                Nope, that's a photograph. The one with the Momo's is photoshopped.

                      Momo's if you're planning on dropping the car on it's balls. Style 29's otherwise.

                        The Momo's look ridiculous, in a good way. But, like Lambo said, you need to be low to pull them off.

                          When I saw the FS for those MOMO's, I thought they were disgusting, but I wasn't gonna say that in the FS thread. I feel I can here. I suggest you put them in a time machine and try to sell them to a drug dealer with an e30 m3 back in 1989.

                              I really can't believe there is any choice to make here. One is really classy and good looking. Fit the car really well and won't make people think you have terrible taste. The other is the momos
