Help Deciding Rims

I need some help wif my rims. I drive a silver E30 325i and I have no $$ so after winter I want to do something to my stock rims. but because it's a silver car the only good colour scheme I can think of is black/gunmetal inside with silver/white rim. so I'm trying to see wut you guys think looks better.

quick photoshopped versions stuck onto an E30 M3

this is the black/gunmetal with silver



this is the black/gunmetal with white

don't do any cosmetics on an E30, cuz no matter what, it comes out looking retarded. it's like when people put body kits on 88 honda accords and crap. it really just looks best stock.

that's not true.

there's tons of E30's that look good because of modifications.

motegi mr7
or mr12

very nice looking rims, very cheap price
less than 200 each
its a good deal however, each's about 16-20 lbs.
and they're one piece forged aluminum.

they don't have that for E30. for the E30 they're plastic pieces that bolt onto your front grill.

on the newer bimmers they're thin pieces of plastic that you tape or glue onto your headlight covers...I think that's a lot cheaper than having it bolted on...if you don't use good tape/glue then they'll fly off when you're going fast.

that E30 would look really nice with the "halo" lights from the new 5-series.

right now there's no Angel eyes kit for the E30 because the head lights are a lot different from the E36 and E46 bmws.

but in April I think MTS is comming out with angel eyes for the E30. the thing is it's really expensive...and they only look good with HID so there's another 500 down the drain. I'll try to get pix of it but I don't remember the MTS website and it's in german so it'll hard to navigate through


if I had that kind of money I woudln't be bothing with stock rims and get my Enkei RF1 rims.

well...in the last part of my last post I did start talkign bout rims again..heh

I'm gonna go take a side pic of my car now and photoshop them onto my bimmer...so hold tight...I dont' think it'll look as nice because you get to see the real size of the rim.

thats fucken badass dude.

i think a lot of old schools can look nice with a kit. as long as its simple. or maybe just a front air dam like on the datsuns.

actually i can tell you that i don't think that looks nice.

i guess it's all a matter of taste, i think e30's look funny w/ kits... best to go stock.
