    How many wheels for how many e30s?

    This was brought up a while ago, but it's been a minute. how many sets of wheels do you own, and how many e30s?

    I have my touring, and a 90 325is coupe, for which I have:

    2 full sets of bottlecaps
    6 basketweaves, 4 have nice newish tires on them
    the new 17s with es100s. not crazy about the look of the wheel

    and I'm wheel shopping for the touring, always

      One E30, 2 sets but ive gone through a few recently ~ 2.5 years with this car

      -14" Baskets 195/50's to start things.
      -Then 15" Eurobaskets 195/50's
      -Bought 14" VW B3 Passat Steelies with 185/75 snow tires
      -Swapped snow tires onto Bottlecaps
      -Then 17" Kopis 215/40
      -Back to the 15"ers, cause the kopis sucked [tires]
      -Traded Kopis for 16x7 Fittipaldis with 215/40s,
      -Then sold the eurobaskets [shouldnt of, they were clean]

      So all i have now is a set of snow tires on bottlecaps and summer tires on 16" 5 spokes

                        Damn, someone wanted basketweaves so much that they stole em? hahaha. Sorry to hear about that, but geez.

                        Uh, 1 e30, 1 set of weaves, 1 set of caps with shitty tires on them that i got with a 2002 (shitty, by one actually has a fat puncture hole thru the sidewall :P), and a set of BBS RA's.

                          I have one e30, 1 set of bottle caps and 1 set of baskets on the car now. I want to pick up a set of 16" though soon so that would be a 3rd set.

                              get those wheels spun to check if they are straight. then refinish them and trade me for my 318i rolling shell:rofl: .
