    Need Wheel Help

    So ive been looking at wheels for awhile now. Although they're not at the top on my list of things to do, i really enjoy conceptualizing and thinking about the next set of shoes for my car. Right now im on ESM rs reps, nothing special, but i hope to upgrade wheels after getting coilovers. Ive always enjoyed the look of mesh wheels such as BBS RS, SSR formula mesh, ect. But have been recently attracted to some different kinds of spoke wheels. I guess the question at hand is, how acceptable would putting something thats a JDM Mesh wheel like enkei or SSR on an e30? Also, what are quality wheels that look like the below pictured? Im not sure what quality Touchdown wheels are, but theses are the TD144's. I think they look pretty aggressive on this e30 in comparison to mesh wheels. If you guys could maybe post picks of cars/wheels that fall under the above stated categories and inspire me, that'd be great.

    Love the look of Fifteen52's Formula TRs but not sure how their cast wheels would hold up. Not sure id want to spend 1k+ per wheel for the forges, but can appreciate the work that goes into them still.

        Half the E30's in NZ run those Touchdown TD144's. They're 16x8 0 Offset. Could probably track down a few more pictures of them from the facebook groups if you wanted. No one's ever complained about quality etc.

          Well i was more concerned with quality than the actual wheel itself. There's plenty of style wheels that i like, but if the quality isnt their than id rather not invest my money. Thats why i was questioning the TD's

            Yeah i believe the owner of that car is in NZ actually. I havent seen to many e30's here in scoal with wheels like that, most are rs reps or something along the lines of that. i wanted something a little different which is partly why i was looking at these. if the quality is their on TD and its cheap, that might be a good option

Forgeline makes a similar wheel that i might invest in because i think they'll be in my price range and are forged, but if the quality is their on TD and its cheaper, that might be a good option as well
              Varrstoen have also brought out a similar looking wheel, the V4, which come in similar / less aggressive offsets. I can't vouch much for their quality but again, alot of E30's in NZ run the V3 wheels and haven't heard anything bad. Honestly depends what you plan on doing with the car, as any wheel is going to crap itself if you reverse up a curb at 30km/h.
