    E30 Wheel Choice HELPPP

    Hi guys

    im new here so go easy haha

    ive recently just bought a e30 318is and its awesome. I know what i want to do to it in my head for most things but the wheels

    I have a few options

    Rays Volks
    Rota Grids
    ATS Cups
    or banded steels

    what do you think will look best and in what size with +3" over fenders.

    does anyone have pics of the above wheels on a e30? ive tried google but i carnt find that much

      being as ATS cups are 15x7, that wont really work with big fenders

        ATS cups look like crap on E30's. That's just the way it is. More of a VW wheel in my opinion. The Rota's and the Volks make me think of Japanese fitment FWD cars. The Rota's would look best with the big fenders though.

                i emailed the guy and he said there plus 3inch, they dont look that big but im guessing thats split between both sides so each side is +1.5

                heres a pic of them fitted



                on that website it says they add around +2 which is more believeable i guess

                  was thinking of the 9j version only

                  i know what your saying, ive seen a few e30's with them on and they just look ok in standerd finish, but i think once painted black and in 9j form they will look more "banded" steelie style with a strechd tyre.
