17x7.5" kopis vs 16" staggered real alpinas = no contest.

EDIT: im saying 16" own, in case that wasnt clear.

Its nice, but those 16in alpinas dont do a thing for me on your car. I like the 17in kopis on boonmonkeys ride much better. I think its just not low enough in the front.
That is still one heck of a solid ride. Congrats

The 16's look MUCH better than the 17's.

Here you go, Ryan.....

Would you guys prefer linked photos as opposed to photos pasted into the posts?

No, posting the photos on the thread is prefered.

You have a great looking car. Do you have any plans for more upgrades?

vs.



Thats all im comparing it to. Trust me, in now way am i saying that i dont like the car, i am just saying i think that the 17s look much better IMO[/img]

I think your judgement might be impaired by the fact that Robby's car is much, much lower. I think the genuine Alpinas look a lot better personally, mainly because of the "lip" they have.

thats probably true, His car looks sooo sick.

I also this thread isnt about that car or debating whether larger wheels are better.

Thanks for the pic M57. The different rollout doesnt look as pronounced as I though. Continue posting pics, I just posted a link as to not fill YOUR thread up with pics of other peoples cars.

You definately have found a nice setup there. I wish mine was built like that when I bought it because it whould have saved me a lot of work getting to where it is now. Not to mention that the PO spared NO EXPENSE on it in the mods department so that must mean he did the same on the maintenance of the car.

So that's an Eibach strut bar? I have one of those here and I had no idea what brand it was, LOL.

[MR 325]

By the way, sick car, I fucking LOVE the real Alpinas. 16" is just the perfect size for E30's I don't care what anyone says!

Yeah, that's why I said I felt pretty lucky to find the car. I paid $4800 for it, which I figure was pretty much top dollar. But then I thought about what it would cost to make the car like this, what with less clean E30's still going for $2500-$3500 in SoCal. I was blown away by what people thought their cars were worth. I saw one that was so blown out, it would have taken $10,000 to make it like this one, and the guy still wanted $3500. I mean, the paint was peeling around the "325" logo because the painter was too lazy to remove it.

About the maintenance, it looks like it was maintained, but I think that in the past year he didn't keep up on it, as the records indicate it was hardly driven at all. The oil was absolutely filthy. That's why I went through the car, replacing virtually every maintenance item and fluid.

that is a steal.... nice job :up:

if this guy ever has another e30 for sale let me know!!!

you also have BAV autosport 8mm wires

[M-technik-3]

$4800 you stole it..... Look at the paint so smooth, love red cars but don't love the police attention.

Great find man. Such a pretty car.
