    Depends on what you are looking for. Personally I don't think the 7s look that good.

        I don't want to have to do any fender rolling or anything like that. They would be used on my '87 that is a DD car, but I hope to do some autox this year.

              I've never really liked black wheels. Silver is way more classy, and you can actually see the details of the wheel--imagine that.

                    I've actually got two sets of these wheels: Silver for dd, grey for track.




                    Yes thats about a 6ft table top I got from Ikea. I'm not too keen on the silver, but thought I would mix it up.

                        The 8". Roll your fenders.

                        The 7" has a flat face, the 8" has a concave face. They look different for sure, and the only way I could pull them off is if they were black.

                        I love white cars and black wheels, but this doesn't really work that well for me on the E30.

                        My advice is to go through the TRM C1 thread, and through the black wheels threads, and make your decision.

                        Just forget your hangup on fender rolling. You're going to spend almost as much on wheels and tires than the car is worth in FMV, you might as well roll. I'll almost guarantee you that you can find someone from the local import forum that will roll them for $50 and have them look good. The e30 is a small car. If you want to run a large tire and wheel package, roll.

                            I needed the slight roll and pull in the rear for the 225s. But now I'm gunna space them out 6 mm since I have some extra space :)

                                Haha, that takes skills!

                                I have only had them rub on two occasions, once was when I had three people in the car and took a hard corner with R888s (rear rubbed), the other was when I was completely sideways over rough pavement with RS3s (front rubbed).
