    RC look nice but they are in NO WAY a RS, that is plain out retarded to even compare them on the same level...lol My lips on my RS cost more than a set of RC090 xD

    And I have owned three sets of RC090, I will one day get another set and put them on a E3 Bavaria.

    Waiting for my buddy Tom to post pics of his already posted e30 with the amazing job he did on his set.

    Only pic of my e24 with them mounted:

      that's because you either over paid or have never priced up a set of NEW RCs. I also have a set of each on my e30s and no one would ever be able to tell the difference unless they are a "wheel" guy.

      here's my tech II

        Sorry for offending you, never meant to compare them to the almighty RS.

        If lucky, the E36 will die peacefully, in its natural habitat, and be given the prestigious honor of donating its parts to an E30

          You would be pissed off at how cheap I get RC's for. Also I am not sure you can just buy them new from BBS. Maybe? not sure since they are a stock wheel on an old BMW. But they are easy to get on forums. BBS RS on the other hand are not easy to come by and parts are expensive because of how desired they are.

          Let's take your finished RCs on your MTII, 1,200 or so MAX. You can get a really clean set for 800, so I am leaving a good chunk on there for your finished set. But let's take a set of BBS RS003 lowest I have ever seen is 1,600. A seller on here sold his for 1,950 not more than a week ago. Refinished with wider lips is about 2,500+ so how can a RC ever get into that market? Never in their life. And I am not even touching on the rarer 17-18 RS' that go for about 3-6k. There is a set on ebay in 18s that is at 5,300 and change.

          But you would have to be a moron to look at a RC and say it is a RS. If you disagree you can revert to the foremost of my last sentence ;)

          I am not a hater of the RC one little bit, I think they look great on the 5 and 6 models.
          My favorite finish of RCs

            Sounds like an opportunity to whore out my old 745i, don't mind if I do... (excuse my crappy camera and poor photog skills)

            17x8s, 15mm spacers in back.

              Man... a bunch of BBS elitists up ITT. BMW style 5's resemble BBS RS, get over it and get off of your high horse.

                        Look at the nut in the center, they are 200% RS.

                          Thats what I'm saying...although you can do the RS hex conversion. But the lips and waffle kinda give it away.
                          Looks like the OP doesn't know what he's drooling over that is so desirable to him. :D

                                Did you know that the only difference between 18" style 5s and super RS's is how the Centercaps mount? The spokes are identical and the barrels are interchangeable.
