It's been a while since I have updated the topic..
Year 2015 I downgraded from 17" Futuras to 16" BBS RS's.
Originally 8x16 et 11 with 5x120 bolt pattern, they were modified to 4x100 and assembled with radinox 2/2,5" outer lips. Also new low center nuts found their place, finally wrapped with 195/45 and 205/45R16 Yokohamas.
Final specs 8,5" et6 and 9" et0.

16's started to look too small for the body, so I planned to go back to square one with Alpinas.
I found E34 B10 spec 8,5/9,5x17 Alpinas. Once again they were also blasted, straightened, welded few scratches and painted. Wrapped with 195/40 and 225/35 Falkens. It didn't come as a surprise that the bolt pattern wasn't the same as the car, so I made a 5-bolt swap with E36 M3 brakes on front and E46 328i on back. Some small mods were also made, as E36 steering rack, genuine m-tech II rear spoiler, Hartge headers and upper front strut bar. To match the Alpinas to the car, it needed typ 162 front spoiler and Alpina stripes.
Holy fuuuuuck. Who wouldn't want this! I'm seriously so jealous and want to restore my 325is baaad. Loving the no wing look though, however I just think that the kit requires something back there or it just looks.. bulky? I'm thinking tech I wing for my car.
** Didn't see you put the tech II wing back on, it's killer.
