    I like to think I have pretty good taste.



    17" x 8" M-System I:



    17" x 7.5" (front) and 17" x 8.5" (rear) AC Schnitzer Type I 3-piece:



    17" x 8" BBS RY011:



    16" x 7" BBS RG:




    Yup, that'll do it.

          I agree with george, if you run black wheels you might as well run steelies. I hate the black wheels with silver lip look that every poser has.

              WOW those all look so good! So i guess it is appropriate to ask here: What websites are really good for E30 wheels other than tirerack.com and discounttiredirect.com?

                    Nice wheels.... but I still think the BBS take the cake.

                          depends on the tyres you're going to run. people run 9's all the time but have to run skinny undersized tyres.

                          rim diameter also makes a difference as you can sit larger rims further inside the front guards.

                          you doing this to fit wide tyres or just for large rims?

                            for nothing more than showoff purposes, you could roll around on as wide as 11" wheels.

                            My next set of wheels will be 17x10 however, I like to keep it on the conservative side.

                            All you would need to do is some rolling of the fenders.

                              Are those Kerscher Carmonas on the rear in your sig, Jon?

                              Sick wheels. Too bad they're an odd bolt spacing or I'd be rocking them for sure right now.

                                what do you mean odd bolt spacing? you can get them in 4x100.
