    What is your favorite 16" or 17" wheel on a e30?

    Hey guys, so im looking for a set of wheels... but i dont know what i want. I was thinking rs, because i love the deep lip mesh look.. but everyone has them.

    Im curious what you guys fancy, and maybe ill steal an idea from you.

    There just aren't that many designs in 4x100. I like the RS look also and run them on most of my cars.

        LM reps in 16 can look pretty awesome.

              It really depends on your budget.

              Varrstoen V3's/ESM 007's (same style wheel, just different manufacturer) are really nice. The ESM 004's are nice too. Those are my picks if your on a budget.

              If your not on a budget I'd look at Style 5's, any of the BBS's (RS's and LM's are my favorite) or grab yourself a set of Alpina reps.

              Personally i think im gonna get a set of V3's, but thats because im a poor high school student.

                I love my wheels, but Im a function over form guy and nothing can beat 11# 16x7s... Also, Im really lazy when it comes to cleaning wheels and I will NEVER own another set of BBS wheels. such a pain in the asshole to clean

                  Love my CR7's. Native 4x100 fittment. No Fill and Drill needed. Lots of width (9 inch). Lots of lip (2 inches or more!)

                  Small 5 mm spacer needed in front to clear strut housings. Nothing crazy.

                  Easy as pie to clean! No tight tight tight weave like pattern that one has to get a soft bottle brush and clean.

                  Are they my "favorite" well no. There are some awesome 3 piece Hartge's out there and the OZ Futura 3 piece are pretty spiffy. Gotti's can look very good as well if done properly.
                  BBS RS's are fantastic but have been overdone !

                  Here is a past members (egk) car with them.

                    I have about 800-1000 to spend on wheels.
                    Style 5(even 3 piece) still look like the rs.
                    I wouldn't mind a 3 inch lip. But I'm doing more stance with this car then form.
                    Thanks for the inputs! Keep them coming. This is the last thing I need is a set of wheels!
