Looks very clean. Just needs lowering imo and then leave it as that.

Very cool car, like the old skool silver trims :cool:

[Sloth]

needs decking mate, but its very nice, manual?

[stevie-p]

yes manuel and extremly clean and indeed it will be decked as all my cars are :) and i will change the wheels as its on the standard crosspokes

[Sloth]

ok cool, team dynamics pro race 3's (the 5 spoke jobs) in a 17 inch flava would make it perfect....

[stevie-p]

going for 15's/16's i think for some serious slammage and i no there very typical buy maybe some borbet's or something of the like.

[Sloth]

borbets are over rated, how bout banded steels painted gloss black?

[stevie-p]

couldent afford them otherwise it would be a definate yes, how about some 16x8 ACT monoblocks? :

going for 15's/16's i think for some serious slammage and i no there very typical buy maybe some borbet's or something of the like.

I would personally go for 17s. I originally had 16s on my old E30 and although it looked ace and slammed the arch gap bugged me. I put some 17s on and it filled the arches much better and looked even lower. There was still loads of clearence in the arches to fit a bigger wheel.

In fact here's a few quick pics to show the difference.

On 16s:

On 17s:

As for wheel choice, i would search for some avez As, getting very rare now but easily the nicest wheel for an E30 and will go with the old skool look of yours.

[stevie-p]

hmmmmmm but i will get wide wheels and by the looks i wouldent be able to go low enough on wide 17's and azev a's im really not a fan of

[L33 LEG]

If you are going rediculously wide then ye, 16s maybe the only way. From what i can remember though even with the 17s on there was LOADS of clearence still. It's best asking on a bm forum and see what people have done with theirs, i just think if you can get away with having 17s it will look better.

Either way i wouldnt chose 15s, they'll just look silly imo.

[stevie-p]

tbh i think 17's will be fine it will be silly low but tbh after looking even with 16's silly low will have arch clearance

[L33 LEG]

Before buying some coilovers to get a serious drop, bare in mind that mine was just 60mm and the front bumper and sills were an inch off the floor lol

[NavNova]

Great looking car, very tidy, the black wheels are doing nothing for her though.

[stevie-p]

those wheels are not on the car its on the standard crosspokes, and i no my civic is 60mm and it's ridiculous lol

[theoriginalGhostman]

Nice find on the bmw, e30s look hard as in black
