Guest Spargo Report post Posted March 20, 2006 Sell the MK's, they suit older bimmers, those current wheels really suit the E36 style. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
my_e36 43 Report post Posted March 20, 2006 I like the second one on your car more~ maybe I'm old fashioned~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jazzbass 1 Report post Posted March 20, 2006 (edited) I prefer the second set also. The first set just seem too 'skinny' or something for the car. To my tastes, the second set have more 'meat' - more balls about them. But its your car. Still once you get the red shed spinners on....
