    BMW E30 wheel/tire options!

    Well my mom owns a 91 BMW E30 325i Convertible, mint shape, stock 4 lug hubs/brakes and we're looking for some fancy wheels in the near future, just seeing what people have for an option, offset, width, tire sizes, ect. My dad seems to be set on swapping the car over to 5 lug hub/brakes but this E30 is so minty fresh I don't want to molest it that way, just slap some wheels on and go.

    Suggestions would be great, so far I'm a fan of 33 offset wheels, 17x8. Example how they sit on the car:

      haha she just drives to work and back basically, sometimes they go visit me or my sister, or other family members. Car probably sees about 1,500 miles a year max.

      She just wants something flashy yet tasteful lol, obviously not going to slam the car on coilovers, so keep that in mind too

                Can't go wrong with 17" BBS LMs on an e30, if it gets swapped to 5 lug, look at some 17" style 5s they are classy as ****, and would be my first choice. They come stock on e39s, so you'll need hub centric rings.
