TT, you should get some of those in like a 16x10 on the rear and 16x8.5 on the front or something. That would be some true Euro Trash for ya! :D

I like the 16x7.5 version of those. Should look sweet! Those are definitely worth holding out for.

[QUOTE="Shawn D."]Sure, your "big balloon" tires took the hit fine -- as you say, they're "big balloon" tires, but you're telling this anecdotal story and blaming his ASA wheels for bending without mentioning some key info: how fast was he going, and what tire and wheel size was he running? [/QUOTE]

Well were getting off of 287 (semi-major highway that runs threw some of Jersey) and we were going about 25-30 mph. I guess thats enough to do it. I wasn't blamming the wheel, im just saying i was surprised that it happened. Others in out carvan had 17's and they hit just as hard as he did. Im not sure about tire size, but his wheels are 17's. Heres a pic of his car though, Image

You can see his front rim in the picture and where its bent. It looks alot worse in person than in the picture.

And yeah Tony even if it takes you time, the wheels you have look pretty good. Are those wheels you posted a pic of above, Rondells? If not what are they, they look so nice.

Like I said in the post, they are BBS RZ. I had them on my '87 535is a couple years ago.
Pretty rare, only seen 2 sets.

[QUOTE="Tjn182"]I vote for rims with lips -- rims that have absolutely no lips don't appeal to me at all[/QUOTE]

I'm in full agreement with this sentiment. Why do people install front wheel drive look wheels on a car famed for it's rear wheel drive prowess? :?

Well...

I do have the 16x8 e38 basketweaves. And I do clean those, so I probably know what it's like...

I like a lip on an E28 also. Those BBS 's are sweet. BBS makes so many beautiful wheels, I hardly see any need to look anywhere else.
Unless you want some old school composites like the 2 piece WEDS, Hardy and Beck or even some very nice 80's vintage Enkies.

Here is a link to some nice WEDS, one of my favorites:
