Budget?

I guess I am somewhat flexible.  Depends on the rim.  Good news is I have to wait until this PT job pays the most current repair bill.  Got a set of rims in mind?

My $.02, the Panasports look better on my Tii as they are more period correct.

BBS RM's are hard to find for a decent price in 4x100. The above posted link is for 5x120.

If you are not a brand snob or don't need to seek acceptance from others, this is a good alternative. Same look but easily half the price.

I was looking at those.  Brand whatever.  I saw a 2002 w/ panas, very sweet.  These guys also have the pana look alikes.

I agree they are hot for 2002tii but not so much for and E30. I like BBS or BBS clones . Only folks like us know the difference. Put a BMW or BBS sticker on anything and 99% think they're  all that!

Just playin and was wanting opinions.  I discoverd how to "paste" in PStudio so now I can have a visual.

Man you are so right on.  I love the look of the mesh but I am pretty lazy.  However I found a wheel cleaner at Auto Zone on that stuff works great.  Its prob stripping the finish off, LOL!

Some of the higher end wheel cleaners that some dealerships use actually contain a form of acid in them and will eat into the finish if left on for a long time. But they clean german dust really well.

Castrol Super Clean is a good compromise between price and cleaning performance for me. PS21 is nice but at $20/bottle can get a bit expensive.

What's it called? I use Meguiar's multi piece wheel wash which does a pretty good job of cleaning brake dust. Regardless, meshies are still a PITA to maintain.

Its the one on the left.  The one on the right does help but beware of which one you drink from.
