    17's on E30's?

    How do they look and do they fit well? esp if i was running somthing like the cup kit or IE suspension.

      I have them, they'll be fine, just run the right size tires, if you try to fit oversized tires, they'll rub. you should go with 215/40/zr17's and you'll be all set. i think they look great and probably will never go smaller with another set of wheels.

              Or all 4, yet still seem to place a front lip higher on the priority list than fixing them.

                I've hit some pretty bad potholes at speed, i mean like BAD potholes. No bends yet...

                Unmarked construction zone holes and dropoffs at night while its raining SUCK.

                  agreed, luckily only 2 of mine got bent, and I just won a raffle at the BPG grand opening for a free rim straigtening at rimpro (5 minutes from my house) and tom's gonna give me a deal on the second one, i think im going today actually, btw... jay your the man :roll:...

                  dont be scared off by my bent rims, massachusetts is natorious for really bad road work (unmarked)... besides this one thing I hit, I have not had any problems, you just gotta be careful.

                    Sure sounds like ricer talk to me.

                      that's right, im a ricer, obviously... :roll:
                      they're summer wheels, it's almost winter, I can take care of it over the winter while my winter wheels are on... why do you care anyway? just being a general dick? or is there some deeper connection you have to me? it's a bent wheel i have, get over it.
