What is your favourite rim for the E 30 ?

Please list the size and type.

fastbmw · 03-18-2009, 12:11 PM

16 x 7 Alpina

Eternally Classic

peteb3 · 03-18-2009, 12:23 PM

ALPINA FOR ME TOO

Hey-U · 03-18-2009, 02:28 PM

With out question staggered 16' Alpinas.

320iCar · 03-18-2009, 03:29 PM

low offset, staggered bbs rs. 16x8 up front, 16x9. colour the inside what you will. it always looks good.

jh83 · 03-18-2009, 04:36 PM

the Alpina's are a definate, the 3 piece BBS basket weaves also look good (minimum of 15 inch) and i really like the Hartge 16 x 7.5's (Pictured). IMO i think that 15 inch is the minimum and 17 inch the maximum size that look good on the E30's

E30M3 · 03-19-2009, 02:08 AM

Mike Edlers car doesnt count... its just not even fair.

but thats the wheel setup im going for.. 17x8 front and x9 out back.. should fill out my rolled fenders quite nicely..

bad_azz_bmr · 03-19-2009, 09:04 AM

BBS RS definately, but i would have to say 9x16 fronts and 9.5x16 rears on a regular e30

Crispy · 03-19-2009, 10:48 AM

Was going to say the BBS baskets, that is untill I saw the pic of the Alpina rims in this post, now I think those are the 'shit'.

Crispy.
