    panasports on an e30



    i realize this isn't the best p-chop, but what do you all think about these wheels on an e30. Maybe 16x7.5 or 15x7 i believe are available sizes.

      They're pretty light wheels, but I've never liked the look of them.

        They belong on Mini's, 510's, and MG's. They don't look right on E30's.

          Those are if you want that old school mid 60's UK car look. Think MG's and Triumphs. I see those all the time on British classics. I remember seeing these on an E30, no Photoshop, looked pretty good. If they're the right price I'd rock 'em, but when I see those they just remind me of the 60's British brigade.

                  I saw about 10 '02s with those wheels today at a vintage bmw fest, and I think they'd look great on an e30, as last time i checked the e30 wasnt exactly a modern car aesthetically. light to boot.

                    yeah ive tossed up this idea before. i rekon they look good, and the weight saving would be fab.

                        I never liked thier look but I would sport them as a track wheel. Just about every vintage racer is running them over thie smaller brakes so they have pedigree.
