    I don't really dislike the wheel style, however they are eBay wheels... its just the stigma.

    The major thing that makes them something i would never rock is the fake multipiece bolts around the rim. It looks stupid on non-multipiece wheels, and its added wieght.

    Sadly fake bolts are becoming a huge trend on ricer wheels.

      I like the wheels, even if them are cheap and heavy...and for just that price is a good deal IMO...

        There are no multi piece bolts, the main reason I put them on is because of the polished lip, that's the only reason I some what liked them

          i think they look fine. they'll probably bend on the first pothole you run over though. :(

          they'd proabably be better without undersized tires. ;)

                  Looks like it has been repainted to me.

                  The far away picture looked like bolts, guess not. Either way, I still dont like fake multipiece wheels ;)

                      I bought the car last March CHEAP!!
                      The front fenders have been repainted (not good) don't know why, found no damage or tattle tails of a wreck.

                      I will be resprying the car, probably in may when I have time.

                        ^ Those are definately without a doubt swirl marks from a buffer, I see a lot of orane peel in the close up pick of the wheel though. Your car will look very nice with some decent paint on it

                          Nice car, the wheels are not that bad but they don't belong on an e30 IMO.

                              Black cars are the worst for swirl marks. I wouldnt dare touch mine with a buffer, but it is bad enough sometimes after waxing by hand. You detail a lot, what do you recommend for application and removal?

                              I spot orange peel as well. Happened to my Fiero when my dad painted it and I waited months to finally buff it right. But really doesnt look horrible. Could be all chipped up like mine is.

                                Just me but I like the wheels better than those type t's. The t's look like they came off of a mazda to me. (flame away). Of course the car I just bought has some of the ugliest wheels I've ever seen so I'm going to be shopping for something new also!
