      Bit too big for me. Love the 16's, they just look like they fit the e30 perfect for some reason. But more drop would definitely help the wheels not look as donkish.

        Love the look of the wheels, but IMO they are way too big for your car. The wheel/tire combo stands out too much, and in the end not in a good way. On an E30 M3 with the wider fenders and lower skirts you could easily pull it off, but on a regular E30 body the proportions just aren't right.

        This is all my opinion, of course.

              I love them. Im not usually a fan of 17" rims on non ///M E30s but those look unbelievable.

                  Too big for the ride height.

                  Looks like a "Donk"
                  Below the radar...

                    Agree with UNCHLCHLL ;)

                    Why so much tire? With S50/318is, I've never needed more than a 205 width street tire and 225 width R-comp.

                      Luke, Mariano, and Vlad: Thanks!

                      Chris: you know the drill... :)

                      Stu: I'm anticipating 300rwhp with the turbo. The more rubber the better.

                      Rolled it out of the garage this afternoon. I have a little more rolling to do.

                        What an e30 should look like. Now get ltw's, clears and a drop on the John Deere and you'll be golden.

                                Dude, I love my soon to be new car... but right now, without any "aggressive" body mods (IE: Mtechnic 2 kit, etc) it looks like a Chevelle.

                                Don't get me wrong, I LOVE a clean non-molested/basic upgrade car like yours for cosmetics, but just with a smaller wheel setup. Or it may also be because the wheels have no definition with the black centers.
