Big wheel Decision...

Alright guys, its just about time for me to decide on a set of wheels for the e30 335i... As all of you know there is a limited selection at a decent price so i'm going to make sure the ones i get are some that i like.
Here are the ones that i'm going back and forth on...

Kopi Alpina Reps 17"x7.5"

Jrhaile has these on his dinan e30 now as well...

Borbet type A's 16"x9" (would run stretched tires)


Borbet type T's 16"x9"


Brock B1's (same as above)


Brock B1 Polished (same as above)

it's either the alpina reps (always a classic look on an e30), or the last set of Brocks (they would look so fucking mean with how your ride is tucked! and they'd be easier to clean)

I'll vote brocks...

I have the Borbet Type T's 16" in staggered stance 16x7(fr) 16x9.5 (r) on my 89' 325i. I like how they look, but the Alpina rims look sweet also. I might be getting me a set of the Alpina's once I get back. I would say a toss up between those 2. I can send you a pic on how the borbet's look but i don't get back until 13 December.

alright, so i came across a deal today that i just couldn't pass up.

genuine SSR GT1's in 17" size for the e30. they need 10-15mm spacers but look sick and weight 17.5 lbs!!
they are silver painted, but i'm thinking about painting them white which would look cool on my white car... what do you think?
