    OP: I know the guy who is selling #1. You found them on Greenville/Upstate craigslist. Don't buy them. The paint looks like shit in person. He paints without a respirator and here's another set he finger painted:

            Stock baskets > sportmax. That being said, the last of your three are by far the best, but a set of baskets would be better in my opinion. I never understood why people would spend money on wheels that were not as well made or designed as factory wheels. If you wanna do it do it right. Just my 2 cents.

              What are those black with red lip wheels? I saw a local e30 with one of those on it and "e30" badge in place of 318i/325i on the trunk. The wheels were probably offset 0 as they really stuck out.

                They're xxr wheels.

                Get some konig bbombs like me. cheap, decent looking, even come in 4x100 in a decent width. Made in Taiwan or something tho.

                  Why is there a emoticon?

                  Honestly, I'd prefer factory baskets with a set of ireland springs and koni's over your 3 options.

                        I like the third set of wheels best but the second will give some good contrast

                          1 and 2 only look good on old jdm cars such as 240z's and celica's not e30's #3 looks like it would fit the look of the car better.

                            If done right. you could get the fitti's to look great.

                              Definately #3. Failing that, factory weaves (or even B-Caps) look better than the other two choices.
