Which Wheel Selection???

[talltorontoguy]

I'm having a bit of dilemma, I'm at a crossroads on wheel selection for the convertible...

Option A:

Do 5 lug swap (bonus of getting m3 brakes)
Use staggered style 5 wheels 17x8, 17x9
lots of work, extra $1000

Look something like this but with much higher polish. (not my convertible)

Option B:

Don't do 5 lug swap
Use 17x8 Rial Nogaro Wheels (similar to ASA ar1)
no work

AR1's on a convertible (not my convertible)

From a purely aesthetics perspective, which wheel to go with?

[fas1eddy]

Style 5 or Kopi's.

No Kopis for me. Just trying to narrow down between the style 5's and the Rial Nogaros.

[Gamite]

Style 5's match the car the best

[Qube]

Style 5's definitely.

where u getting the m3 conversion?? the guy from rev??

[talltorontoguy]

The guy from r3v won't ship, or allow a shipper to pack and pickup. So, no... not from him.

[hadesm5]

well if you are choosing between the two, style 5 looks wayyy better.

[oldskool3]

if those are the only two options I would say go style 5's for sure but I think you should just get some bbs rs's or a set of borbet's it would probably end up costing you around the same thing with a lot less work.

[bimmer1989]

The rims look great and the M3 brakes are icing on the cake.

[Whip_lash]

No offence but the AR1's and Nogaros look horrible. Definetly go with the style 5's or try finding some BBS RS's. Theres a guy on e30tech selling some 16's BBS RS in mint condition asking 2400 i think.

[WillieE30]

Hey Rod....I like the AR 1's but I also like the looks of the BBS's on a vert too......Hmm I'd like to find a set of BBS's in white???..........Bill
