mark247 39 Report post Posted June 22, 2010 I'm glad you are going with gold. With the Alpina design you have on the front in the gold stripe it will look fantastic. Going with any other colour is going to add yet another colour to the mix where, as you said, the green and the gold really look great. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nath 134 Report post Posted June 22, 2010 Everything you do usurps the plans I originally had (when i used to have time!) for my car..... snowplough, gold bbs rims, stripes..... maybe I should do jps.... I did after all just find 2 unworn 1983 JPS jackets in my mates closet haha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forrest 35 Report post Posted June 22, 2010 ^ Haha yeah, well to think If I hadn't picked up the Alpina front bumper I would be still rocking around on Borbet reps and a volvo front lip @ Mark, I totally get what you mean, I might get the wheels sorted first before I decide wether I need the stripes or not, sometimes less is more.

Matt-B 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2010 (edited) Thoughts on this color for the centers? As usual I am still undecided, have a couple of weeks till I am pulling them apart. I am also putting smaller tyres on too now FYI, have some worrying inner arch/chassis rail rubbing issues. That is my car. I thank you for letting others see it. Here is what I did to my wheels.... on the car: ENJOY!! Edited June 24, 2010 by Matt-B Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forrest 35 Report post Posted June 24, 2010 (edited) 16' Baskets have to be one of the hottest wheels for a 5 stud E30. Exhibit A: http://www.e30tech.com/forum/showthread.ph...ght=pandamonium Won't attach the pics as there are tons of ultra sick ones in there, you can thank me later Also OT, but just for shits and gigs (it is my thread after all) http://www.e30tech.com/forum/showthread.ph...ght=pandamonium Anyone remember when I was going to build a red panda e30?

JiB 2 Report post Posted June 24, 2010 That's seriously awesome. Was 8mm the minimum spacing to clear the front? Or could one go smaller? Also any chance you can post a pic of the fill and drill job? I always thought the bore size was too big to do 4x100 without overlap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
