Opinions: wheels

Which ones for an e30?
1)


2)

[IS]

Tough call - both look good. Get which ever is lighter.

[Mastrcruse]

Yea, lighter isn't really a concern of mine because they are going on a show more than go car.

I am feeling the bbs reps because less people have them. Unique points FTW.

I voted #2. Because #1 reminds me of a wheel thats on a wagon from the old west.

What does your car look like? I don't think I've seen a picture of it--if it's stock like in your avatar, I'd go with the Alpina-look wheels. Even if you mod it, I like the Alpina's better. I think the open five-spoke design on E30s doesn't usually look good--it's too modern for most E30s.

Personally, when I buy new wheels this year, I'm choosing between the Kopi Alpina's and the Ronal LS'. I'm leaning toward the LS.

Koni Alpinas

I don't see how you could honeslty be comparing the two. Option #2 is purely ugly on an E30. It literally hurts to look at. Alpina reps 100%.

My car is the one in my avatar. I will be getting H&R/billy's suspension soon so it will be lower. I am about 99% on the kopis but I thought I would put it out there for opinions.

It will remain a metal bumpered car with tucking and an IS front air dam will be installed. Everything will be red/black eventually if that has anything to do wth the decision.

Thanks for the input, keep'em comin.

With Alpina's it is going to look almost identical to Aarons blue vert, which IMO wouldn't be bad. Pic of it in his profile: http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/member.php?u=11962

That'll look good. I've been thinking about getting an IS airdam for my vert too--I think a lot of the metal bumper verts are doing this. It just makes sense.

EDIT: Aaron's car is one of my favorites. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

What is the manufacturer and model name of option 2? Those are the hot shit!

[Mastrcruse]

I think RS limited or something like that. They are the wheels that DavidV is selling in the FS section.

[redhatpat]

Not even close. The Alpinas look incredible. Option 2, not so much.

[egk2]

I vote neither, there are far better choices out there.

I have $850 to spend

5 kopis w/ tires with 65% tread

4 rs limited w/tires with probably 90% tread

What else is there for that much that would be better? I should have given those facts before sorry.
