    New wheels for my e30 sedan

    looking for some opinions on any of these wheels, i haven't been able to find any pictures of e30's with these wheels on so i'm a little apprehensive.

    i ordered OZ Ultralegra's from tirerack 16x7 in Graphite



    of course i need to run spacers for these wheels (37mm offset) so tirerack informed me it would me it would be 2 weeks before the spacers came in, which got me thinking and looking at other wheels in the meantime. so here is what i'm consiering switching to:

    OZ Crono HT's 16x7



    OZ Records 16x7 (only color hey have is graphite)


    BBS RF's 16x7 *or* 17x7, the center of this wheel is really big, not sure how it would look


    Keskin KT1 Classics 16x7.5 (not really sure how strong these wheels are, so these aren't high up on my list, they do look real good though)



    so any recommendations you guys have would be appreciated, basically im looking for a fairly lightweight but strong wheel (which is why the OZ's are nice) however i've never seen any of the above (save the keskin's) on an e30, so i'm unsure of the looks. thanks!!

        Not with his current suspension.

        I actually like those OZ crono's, have someone PS the wheels you like onto your e30.

          The Cronos and Records both look good.

              The records look like they belong on a nissan truck and bbs looks like they are re-hashing their old designs but running out of ideas.

                thanks for all the suggestions guys, as if it wasn't already bad enough i think these BBS RD's might look good on an e30 as well.


                available in a 17x7 only....hmmmmm

                  I've been considering the Ultraleggeras in black for my E30 and have had the same struggles finding pics on an E30 as you have. I do have this pic of an M coupe that is pretty sick, though. Please post pics once you get yours on. :)

                  Thanks,

                  Tim

                    The records look like the wheels that come on the newer Chevy SS trucks.

                    I personally like the keskins. I also have mixed feelings on the Cronos, Im back and forth. The Ultralageras seem like they could be nice, if done right. I personally would like to see the ultralageras on someones car before i got em.

                      did you guys search for supralegras? very similar to give you a good idea how they look on an e30.

                          Look pretty awesome so far! How much are the spacers running you? Are you doing +20?

                          Thanks,

                            Hope you don't mind, I 'shopped your wheels as graphite and black just to get an idea of how they would look.

                              ordered the spacers from turner and they are about $250 w/ the correct studs, i got 15mm spacers, it was either that or 8mm, cant wait to get them on, also got an eibach front and rear sway bar kit and a new momo steering wheel

                              i'll post up pics after everything is installed
