      Really liking you car. No shadowline, OEM wheels, chrome kidneys, IS lip, no window tint, no trunk lip, euro plate filler, daily drivable ride height. Perfect.

        I went from caps, to weaves, to euroweaves, to 16" esm 002rs. Next step will be real BBS RS's.

        I always thought 16"s were too big for the e30, oh lord how I was wrong.

            Nice. I hate bottlecaps so much, they make the E30 look like a total piece of shit. I was sooo glad the day I found a set of ix weaves laying in the dirt for $100. I only used bottlecaps for snow tires, but still. ugh.

              Bottlecaps may seem ugly and dated, but to me, they are the most iconic E30 rim, other than the weaves.

                Iconic? Yes. Very common? Yes. Boring? Yes. :p

                  bottle caps look better on crx's than e30's... just my honest opinion. The basketweaves look great on your car op.

                    Saw some on an old civic the other day, with honda badges swapped on..didn't look too bad to be honest...

                    Day i swapped on weaves to my car was a great day as well. congrats - looks tops!

                        Love how that thing shines! Hope mine will shine like that.
                        Got bottle caps on the red "i" I'm restoring. After seeing yours, going to get the weaves cleaned up and put those on instead. Looks great in the stock condition.

                          It's why bottlecaps look shit on a slammed car but okay on a stock car.

                          It's why large wheels look donk on a stock car and phenomenal on a dropped car.
                          I thought the golden rule was "it's okay, if it's in a threeway"

                              I just need to defend bottle caps :)




                              But I would never choose these over a nice set of weaves/RS
