    Dish: :up:
    Design: :down:

    I find them uninspired and crude. The edges arent clean and the spokes dont carry into the center cap properly. Its a good design (overall) but those pictures have a generic look to it.
    Im now E30less.

      exactly. They're not bad wheels. I mean, we've all seen dozens of wheels which would look much worse on an E30. But these just seem a lame and cheap version of something better.

        they don't look bad though imo

          I couldn't believe when I saw they were available in 4x100 with low offset. But trust me, when you see them in person, they are very ugly. One guy on maxbimmer has them on his E30, they look horrible.

            they look fine to me.. but most people here don't like the TSW Hockenheim either. what's the offset BTW? ET25? (not that I need new wheels!)

              I bet they would look better without caps. I have Hockenheims on the e28 right now, because its sitting in my driveway in pieces, they really do look terrible in comparison to the T-stars.

                they have a 20mm offset.... which would be perfect..... the wheels are also 4x114.3 so i think they would look bad without the caps.... i am not sure if i have seen them in person, but i think i have. We put a set of chrome TSW's on a SAAB and they looked similar, just no lip. i might have them ordered in and test fit one

                  Well Damn, I think the spokes carrying into the caps absolutely destroys the look

                      Damn, the one on the right looks a million times better.

                              That looks damn good. I wonder if that is possible...because that looks really really nice, even the center one looks better
