I need to replace the tires on my '90 325is, and it's almost impossible to get decent choices in 14", so naturally I'd like to go up-size - been thinking about it for a while. I've done a little research, and the iX 15x7's would be OK, except it's obviously pre-owned only at this point. I'd love to have Alpina 16x7s, but don't have 4+ grand to spend. Beyern makes some OK mesh-style, and OZ has some I like, and I might even spring for the 1-piece BBS baskets. Given that I'd like something close to the original style wheels, what do y'all like these days?

Wheels -16x7.5 with BBS look for E30

The original BBS 15 x 7 basketweaves are still available new from your dealers and of course other sources like RealOEM.com - I just checked and they are @$325 ea.

Gee - thanks, info I can use. I'd been to realOEM but didn't go far enough. It looks like $325 is the list price (not bad, more than OZ/lo-pressure-cast but less than BBS) but going further, to actual suppliers - say ECStuning, it gets under $250 - coool.

Re: IEmotorsport 16x7.5: Too bad the 15x7s are out of stock - they look even better, same center piece, smaller rim section.

No votes for Beyern? They don't look bad....
