Got a few other priorites but still "shopping" for rims . I PShopped these Panasports on crudely, but how do you think they look?

BBS rims will look very period correct...

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?

one of the nicest rims you can get for an E30...

not that specific listing though, those are 5x120..


i would check out vwvortex.com and lookin the 4x100 classifieds. That forum always has a ton of nice stuff!!

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 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.

I thought you didn't want to clean all those spokes?

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.

Its prob stripping the finish off, LOL!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.

For the right price, I'd be VERY interested. Used or new?

Not my cup of tea, but this is a biased opinion since I'm a BBS fanboi :D
