    Not sure about these wheels

    I have a set of these and was thinking about doing something different but kinda think I should stick to mesh wheels

          Wide fives look good on some VW's & Audi's, that is all.

                Agreed, not a fan at all. Mesh is always a safe choice, but if you're lookin at a thick 5 spoke why not look at a set of Borbet A's or a set of ESM 009's?

                        sorry, we are just giving you tough love that you will probably only appreciate several years from now when you look back on this.

                        i agree with everyone above. those wheels look really bad/stupid/ghey on an e30. sell them and buy something more appropriate.

                          This is the car the wheels are currently on:



                          The e30 is my project and the Jetta is now my daily. I love the look of the fat fives but there was something about the body on the e30 I just wasn't sure of. Looked kinda off.

                          The wheels that are on the top of my list would be some sort of mesh wheel. Thought about bbs lm but don't really think they woul look good on a non wide body and I was also seriously considering some silver steelies for the car. I'd like to take the car to auto cross every so often and have some fun so I think steelies night be a bit to heavy?! My number one wheels are bbs mesh though.
