Very nice! Welcome to the club!

Would you happen to have any pics of the rear GC setup? I have always wanted a good look at how it all sits back there.

very understandable, but yeah I do like the ones on it right now. Weaves are a good look for e30's

Weaves (BBS, Stock, just any weave design) and Alpina's IMHO> everything else

truly one of my favoritist cars ever...

if your hard drive ever crashes, rest assured: i've saved every photo of your car you've ever posted online... creepy, i know.

anyway, you car makes me cry tears of joy; you did a fantastic job. How/where on earth did you find 16" BBS Rx's?

That ain't too cool Morgan.

Post up your ride, let them decide which is better. And thanks Febi Guibo (whats your real name?), that means alot. I found the BBS RX's off a guy nearby, he had them for ages, didn't want them, sold them to me with the tires and spacers for $280.

Yep.
