    euro basketweaves

    I am really digging my new wheels. I thought 15" would be a harsher ride and handle better, but it's a better ride and it handles WAY better. I guess because there's more rubber on the road it smoothes out smaller road irregularities.

    It is a perfect compliment to H&R sport/Bilstein as my 14" tires had become the weak link in my handling equation. Now it is well balanced again.

    Let me be the first to say that you need to take some pictures. I bet you saw that coming though!

      They probably don't look all that differant than his current sig. Being they are not that differant in size.

          Well I had 14" baskets and by euro I meant 15" x7".

          Euro weaves are 7" et24 and fill the wheel well a lot better. They have larger caps and -trivia- they have 34 holes instead of 30. The tires come right to the edge of my car now, front even looks like it may spray water up but not quite. and the 55 profile tires have curb protection which the 65 ones didn't so they look a lot nicer up close. Pics later today, as I am going to Korman's. I admit it's a subtle change but there is more lip and it does look very nice. Not striking if you just glance but it's very cool looking. Best part is handling though, I did it for that a lot more than looks.

          And there's a special feeling when you put brand new BMW BBS wheels on your baby!

            Trust me I know what the look like remember where I live and what I sell. I'm sure they look great but when you see show me a picture when we've seen it a million times.

            Hell I still have a bunch for sale. Glad you like them they do alot for stability for our ride. My issues is what wheel to go with as I have to many BBS styles now.

                  I'd like to see them. :)

                  if you think they're close to the fenders on an RWD E30, think about them on an ix. ;)

                      I can't tell if I like the pinstripe on your car or not. :?

                      Makes me wonder if I should be looking for some. Greg?
