    I know Jay, and thats part of the reason I got them. I'd rather do wheels you don't see on E30's. And I like more modern rims on my car personally, although old school rims are some of my favorites, thats just not the look I want on my car.

            I've seen the challenge already.

                  They look a whole lot better on such a modified M3, to me any M3 looks at least 5 years newer than a regular E30. I know I'm sorta backpedalling on my statement, but "Import" wheels on older cars still look out of place in my humble opinion (not like my opinion matters to the rest of the world anyways).

                  TJ, are you getting any sort of ride quality on that suspension? Your car is frickin' slammed, I wish I could live with the resultant ride when I lower my GC's like that.

                    The ride isn't bad at all (for me personally). Though its magnified by having cushion-less seats :) It takes a hard hit to bottom out, even though I think I have less than 1" suspension travel.

                      I'm not feeling them. I've always liked mesh designs on any car over the spokes. Something about them just doesn't work, but I can't put my finger on it.

                      They'll probably grow on me, but who cares what I think?

                        meh, liked the throwing stars better, but i prefer 5 spoke to 6 spoke, six spokes belong on a honda or something of the sort.

                          Wow, like the number of spokes has anything to do with what car it should be on...

                              I've always thought E30's looked GREAT with 6-spoke wheels. It's a more symmetrical design, that goes much better with the squared lines of the E30. But I'm a graphic designer at heart, so I'm constantly drawn to aesthetics and symmetry.

                                Graphic design is certainly not about symmetry.
