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?

Installed them this morning. Needs to roll the left rear fender a bit more asit barely rubs. Took the car to the 2nd annual Black Forest industries octoberfest car show. After the show I found a cool little alley and decided to snap a few photo's.

Thanks! My hands hurt for about 3 days after wet sanding them!

Those turned out so nice! Look great on the car! Now get the chrome kidneys on.

This is one of my favorites...

But he did?
Looking good , I wonder how they would look with the centers black?

clongo · Post by **clongo** » Oct 14, 2012 9:38 AM

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

I really like the wheels, there a little different than the ordinary.

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!

Thank you Chris for the suspension/tire advice. I envy your e28, as most do...lol

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.
