Friend of mine has them on his E30.  While not my first choice they are growing on me.

they aren't driving me bananas, to me (highly subjective opinion) they would look more at home on a honda

Yeah, I can see that.  Still keeping my eyes open for a dished and easy to clean rim.  BavAuto has a limited set of Ronal mesh in stock.   Tempted!:o  But, they are a PITA to clean for a lazy guy.

I don't see anything about those that looks Honda.. Well maybe the BMW emblem in the middle? Those are nice wheels Just be sure the offsets right.. Wheels are all an opinion.. IMO lighter is better than looks

Honestly, I got one of those bottle type brushes at autozone and it's not so bad. 2 min. per rim when I rinse the car off.

I bet they would look pretty good with a drop.

Ya lowered would be nice but the crash bumpers make the car look too old for those rims haha

I had the Rota version (the original GAB copy) on my Integra, the company I used to work for had Rota make them and supplied the GAB for them to copy (I only paid $20 a wheel for my set). The Rotas are a good wheel and the lip is nice. You definitely need to be lowered to rock them, and spacers (15-20mm) for proper e30 fitment.

With a drop they'd be okay, but I dont think that they would look that good on a white car. I generally don't like dark-colored rims on a light car, though.

Every time I see that integra it blows me away. Very clean car!

You need to get some new springs for sure!!! A drop would not make them stand out as much. Good luck!!

I like em but I'm a former Datsun owner so my opinion doesn't carry much weight.
