Just curious to see what rims everyone has chosen for their M42...

Also, what rim size is preferred on an E30?

Do most stick w/ the stock 14/15" or go larger? I have looked at quite a few different rim styles, but still not sure if I should chose a stock size rim or bump up to a 16"... which would be better? I'm thinking that if going up to a 16", there's more cost for the actual rims & then the cost of 16" tires as well...

I'm going with 15" when I get some for good tire prices and performance. 16" is the largest I'd say on an e30 for visual style, but everyone is different.

I love em.

I think they are Torque Development rims, but I can't find them on their website.

I also can't upload photos to the website to show you.

Rims I plan on purchasing are 16x7 because you get better tire choices.

I am running a 17" BBS RX wheel, with 215/40/17 tires. I will snap a picture in a few.

I really like the euro 15 basket-weaves, otherwise I would suggest a 16" wheel I think, although I love how mine look.

Dang, I sure like the way the Rota RB look....
I wish I could pick some up used though.

I ordered them a month ago and I am still waiting on them......grrrr
As for tires, I'm going with Michelin Pilot Sport Ps2's. Either 235/40/18 or 245/40/18.
