    Finally! 16's on the e30.

    About a year ago I missed out on some 16" Type C's. I've been looking ever since for another set. Finally, last week on the BMWCCA PNW site I found a beautiful set with like new BFG for $500. I knew they'd look great but I really, really like these on an e30!

          Sadly, about 45 seconds after that pic was taken, the neck snapped off the radiator and and the car over heated. It was perfectly clean break and I was able to reconnect the upper hose to what was left, add coolant and drive the four miles home. Thankfully there doesn't appear to be any head damage. Parts will be ordered soon!

              I love the look of the 87" valance, and those wheels look great on it

                  Looks great! Hopefully my zinno '87 will be post-worthy soon.


                  edit: willing to share that pic in hi-res by chance?

                      Just threw 16's on mine as well. I noticed it dragged my acceleration but looks good overall. Nice touch, OP.

                        Yes they are!
