    These come in a 17" that although I've never seem them on an e30, I think they might be pretty cool. They have the old skool mesh vibe to them.

      Those are nice... I don't have the funds for new wheels right now or better yet, I have other priorities in line first. However, if some well priced used ones were to be found, I might have to get them...

        The Borbet B's come in 16". They look huge when on a car. This is probably the closest you'll come to 17" baskets.

          yeah, those are nice as well and more "GDM" as they would say... I figure if I lower the car, the Japany ones I have now will look decent at least until I can afford some wheels. Start saving now...

              Actually, that was very well said.... I think I will take them off today or tomorrow, clean them up, post them on the web and entertain what I can get for them....

                    17x7.5, ET27, 4x100.

                    You won't find them ever again though, hence why I said sorry. Kind of a cruel tease.

                      Let me have them..

                      Why can't they ever be found again? Where did YOU find them.. (and yes, very cruel) It can't get any better than that IMO... are they replicas?

                        Super rare, and expensive. By expensive, I mean worth substancially more than your car (even with your rice wheels :)). The Borbets, at least, can be found with tires on ebay.de for under $1000 with some luck and patience.

                          Possibly the hottest wheels ever on an E30. Usually, weaves that size are reserved for the M3.

                          I'd love to see those without the centercaps.

                                I'm sorry Maluco but your car looks hideous like that. The rims are straight rice and even lowered, they are going to be ugly rims. And you need much more than a 1.25" drop to pull of 17's on an E30.
