That's what they say as you understeer into the tire shop.

Judicious suspension tampering has yielded a neutral handling car (but, yes, understeer is a problem on normal E28s with staggered wheels.)

So how much are they when you're done refinishing them?

Same car that is on eBay?
Nope. Car is not for sale.

Those turned out so nice! Look great on the car! Now get the chrome kidneys on.
This is one of my favorites...

I thought about refinishing the centers in black. But they were too clean for me to mess with them.

Looks great!! I am a huge fan of those wheels. I think I like the style 5s better on your car but I'm a bit biased of course. Great job refinishing!

Car is major hot, but I'm partial to the BBS. That's why I may be picking up another set of 18" RCs.
Not sure if I'm going to keep the Alpinas or run another set of BBS.
I loved your car blacked out.

I like 'em, but I also liked the old look, a lot.
And yes, killer in person.
One of my favorites at Vintage.

Very nice, and thank GOD for not another wheel thread featuring style 5's. These are my second most favorite wheels on an E28.
