    those came out nice!! i really like the color choice and the pop can was a nice touch :Thumbsup:

    i put a set of VW 15" bbs's on my mini for awhile that looked similar to these. just picked up some old 15" kosei's that I'm redoing now. Small wheels look great on r53's, Kudo's!!

    can tops FTW!

    As an e30 guy myself, I'm happy to see a set of euroweaves cleaned up and brought back into service!

    ...but the red bull can tops really stole the show for me! Great center cap and probably the lightest option ever!

    Good awesome! Love the can top hub caps. A friend of mine that owns both an e30ix and R56 S has a set of e30xi AC Schnitzer Type 1s that he mounted on the R56. Look awesome. He's talking about finding a set of Alpinas for the R56.

    Here is another friends e30 touring with alpina reps

    Thanks! After putting a couple hundred miles on these, I really want to move to a 15x8 wheel set for summer. I really like the driving characteristics of the 15" wheels and the gearing, since moving back to a 24" tire.

    Suspension is next on my list...
    I have been keeping an eye out more on the e30 forums for odd ball wheels. I'd love to have a e30 touring and a mini both with alpina or Hartge bits.
